Changed the wiper arms as well

old ones



New ones 8)



rear strut brace 8) just an ebay jobbie but does the trick



First up decided to ditch the nice comfy heated leather drivers seat and get myself a bride. While i was at it got a takatta harness from martin too cheers:)






Not in the best nick but for the price i m well chuffed, cheers to ketch for makin the brackets up

Next up the car got treated to some of G's magic to remove the overspray and all the other ******* on the paint work. Came up amazing the boy knows his stuff!lol

edinburghcruise forums

Got myself some nice under braces at a bargain price from the lexus forum, notice a wee difference in steering and the back ends alot tighter as well, quality name to!

Before fitting them




Then during fitting on the expert jack

Had to do some maintanence on the car this month, had to replace the radiator as its been dribbling, new oil and filter as i ve been meaning to do it for months lol
Aso thought i better change the rear discs and pads


So a wee call to Yarass and he sorted me out with some new discs and a set of Red stuff pads
Wee lick of black hammerite on the centers and jobs done:)



And to finish off the interuor picked up a set of second hand matts nice and cheap and pretty good condition to

Few things to do over the winter, i got a small sheet of carbon twill that i m gonna play with on the covers in the engine bay, looks simple enough so see what happens!lol
Wantin to do the darker headlights and maybe de-tango them. They need replaced anyways, covered in scratches on the lenses.
Few more things i m considering, really want more power!lol but other things come first.

Thinkin about tryin the lights over winter.

I had my mate make the frame up, it was an mx-5 subframe that came with seat, couple of extensions here and there and a wee bend. If i remember right you can get a subframe from bide for the tezz, but i m a bit tight!lol

Cheers for all the comments guys biggrin.gif

I noticed quite a bit of a difference to be honest, as i have the EDFC controller a had to soften the back up more as it was too stiff in corners!lol now with the lower brace its even better get no roll/wobble or flex.
