B)

You could always come and join us on the Brisky How Fast day. :)

On 7th May I'm quite likely to be on my honeymoon and on the

other side of the world. Otherwise I'd have signed up for this.

Track day in Bedford vs 2500mile USA Mustang roadtrip = No contest LOL

does this mean you are now a "mark II challenger?" ;) it will be interesting after you do a few hundred miles in my (standard mark II) car, 4 up with luggage, for you to write a comparison thread :thumbup:

We shall have to see :D

Been out for a bit of a drive today, and I have to say it's improved massively, even still on winter tyres.

I absolutely flew over a full size roundabout that I normally slow down quite a bit for. No fuss, no roll, just straight round it :)

Right side xenon had packed in a few days ago.

Got around to finding out what issue is....

Couple of pics on flat surface, rather than on a kerb.

New ballasts etc received.

Let's hope these work out better :)

  • Author

Well I have the new ballasts in, but one of my xenons has got to go back.

The right hand side is not projecting a clear image, seems the light is quite blurred. I assumed at first it was the way I'd fitted it, but after fettling with it, including swapping everything over and triple checking, it's definitely not right.

Looks good Sam, not too low. :thumbup:

Looking good. It's sitting at a really nice height :-)The leather's nice and subtle

Hows the ride on your coilovers? Liking the ride height, what make are they? Cheers!

Cheers buddy. They're Weitec Hicon GT.

Ride is about the same as standard. Certainly not crashy or anything. It is a little bit more fidgety at 30 when the road becomes a bit rougher, but I guess that's because I was used to soft suspension which had done 100k.

Looking really good. Defo sitting at a nice height. What's next?

Nothing much really now, just to sort out a few niggles.

Need to change the clutch at some point soon as well, but it's a case of finding the cash for that :(
