How do you like those struts? I’m thinking about trying them once my Bilstein B6 go out.

So far, so good. You feel a bit more of those small dips & bumps. Bigger ones, you don’t feel as much. I’m hoping to test em out when local Autox starts up again.

Got any pics of the A129 rear camera installed? I've got the front unit installed on the windshield but haven't had a chance to route the cable to the rear and install the rear cam.

if i can find them again. i looked very quickly at one of my car parts shelf and didn't find them right away. it'll require more digging. but if i do find them you can have them for the cost of shipping.
this was the first car, the second was the same pod, just with blue leds... i was still mourning when the second replaced it, so never got pictures before i took them out.

Had enough of the car sitting there forlorn.. put the battery back in and took it out for a drive. It was first or second week of March when I last drove her!!
It was a nice guilty pleasure, roads empty.. Even got a tiny bit of the motorway (M25).. The M25 is a major highway that circumnavigates London, it was empty.. it's so surreal! |

Got to finally install my verus engineering AOS with the drain back and coolant kits for it. And a few days ago I dropped the tranny and diff oils and put in motul 300. Steadily crossing off my supporting mod list before I order my Edelbrock kit!

New Lithium batt and isolator switch
I decided to change to lithium from a Braille 904, and try to clean up the wiring while adding an isolator.
Decided on a Lithiumax at about half the weight of the 904 at 2.5kg, and with 48 AH... for about the same replacement cost. (and please excuse the temporary velcro wrapping on the right of picture) |

I replaced the rear rotors and pads with a set of Stoptechs.
The fronts were done last year. I used this kit from FT86Motorsports. I can highly recommend these guys. Shipping was surprisingly quick. I still have to replace the lines with the supplied stainless ones but I am waiting on an Amazon bleeder kit and I obviously could not wait any longer. As you can see, they were long overdue.
