No update in a while, my MK IIs came back from Pine Engineering and as usual they did a fantastic job but when fitted to my car I wasn't convinced. It was too wide and with the 14kg springs and 60mm from sil ride height it just wasn't enjoyable at all anymore.
Ontop of that I finally cracked my TRAP lip quite badly and honestly I just wanted to sell up and move on to something else, I took off the TRAP lip, sold the MK IIs, removed things like my 300mm steering wheel and awkward gear knob and extension, replaced those with factory pieces, raised the ride height a little and put on a set of Daisys. It was all ready to sell and had it listed for two weeks all while driving it as a daily again.
During that time of dailying it again I realized that a number of modifications I had on limited what the roadster could really be. It was fun again, shifted well, rode fairly nicely, had a great soundtrack (thanks to the Corn*s exhaust) and best of all I didn't have to worry about smashing the TRAP lip, getting stuck, a tyre debeading and mainly cops hassling me.
So after two weeks of selling I decided I'm going to just make the car fun again by my own standards.
First that meant getting another set of wheels, my first brand new set actually, they should be here by the end of February I hope.
The TRAP lip is being retired indefinitely so I also purchased a second hand Dcuatro bumper to change up the look completely, I'm a big fan of body modification to set your car apart from others.
The wheels and bumper are the only major changes I have planned for this car this year (as most of my money will be going towards a trip to Japan in June) but will be refreshing a lot of pieces like clutch, spark leads and plugs, various boots and seals and things of that nature.
