Nice work Greg, I like you're style - because it looks a lot like mine haha

I now want my springs to be red!

If you're going spacers, IMO 23mm front and 20mm rear is the sweet spot.
Thanks, yeah they could be twins except for the red tail lights.:like:

I may go spacers or invest in alloys just gotta decide what I want, I've seen some GT500 replicas that look decent. But it's a big purchase to buy without seeing them on the car.

The paint was easy I did them whilst waiting for the sway bars, 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of colour and 2 coats of clear.

Its just if you can be bothered to pull the springs out again:angel:

If those fog lights are US market do you loose the DRL? Isn't the US wiring different to the European market?
Yeah these only have 1 LED in, the OEM light has 2 bulbs. It comes with an EU connector so it just plugs straight in.

I finally got my Barton short shifter installed after 2 years and had it mounted to the transmission. Shifting is now much more stiffer and precise, I should have installed it much sooner.

FYI with the current sale it's cheaper to buy the lhd cooler and add the rhd block off plate, it will give you the same kit but ÂŁ55 cheaper.

Had her aligned after fitting the CBR level 2 lockout kit couple weeks back. Feels much better now!

Finally got my rear seat delete fitted too. The lock down and working from home is proving productive to my list of car mods :rockon:

So thats what the fuel pump grommets are supposed to look like :)

When the engineer came to fit my tracker last week, it was noted that they were present - but weren't actually fitted into the holes.

Have you fitted any dynomat or anything over the metal to help with noise reduction when doing the delete ?

I hadn't actually thought about sound proofing, might have to look into that.

The noise increase wasn't as much as I thought, although you do notice the weight loss driving it.

Installed the red start button and OEM GT350 gear knob from CJ pony parts (even though they shafted me on import fees after I'd already paid for the postage that included them). Also finished the hardwiring and install on my Thinkware F800 Pro dash cam.

Thought I'd take some sound readings, probably should have done the base levels with the original seats in :facepalm:

It's also dba not db

Cold start, outside: 130dba
Idling, inside with windows up: 68dba
Accelerating, inside with windows up: 90dba
Motorway cruising at 70mph in 6th, inside with windows up: 70dba
