As far as the coilovers go - in a nutshell chalk and cheese over stock suspension with lowered springs that I was running to date. The goods handles like it is on rails - would be absolut

The rear sits just where I want it to which is great. The fronts could do with being 5 - 10mm lower. This is not much I know but I would love it to be perfect. However I might hold off till I get the new rims and then get all the fiddley bits sorted once and for all.

In the meantime....picked up this bad boy - or one like this actually...no pic yet :)

Monkey bar installed....not without a fair bit of monkeying around though - the bloody thing was a pain in the ass to bolt in with the carpet which I had to cut in places :(

I did however put in new carpet inserts which I will get my little sister to stitch to the existing bits.

Looks awesome though and I am well on my way to having my own personal go kart

The bling bling "S" in the middle of my bonnet has been bugging me for a very long time.

So I decided to do something about it this morning. Going to paint it black with a clear overcoat. If this does not work I will just remove it altogether.

First step was to mask up the surrounding areas.......Thought about it but did not bother about the gaps in the middle as I am fortunate enough to be painting black on black which will go unnoticed.

Second step was to get out my dremel and sand paper and lightly agitate the surface so that it would hold the primer and paint........

No pics..

Third step was to give it two coats of primer

No pics..

Currently drying....

I am such a messy painter....not to mention entirely wasteful !! :closedeyes:

ETA/specs on rims?

Mid July sometime hopefully. At least I have the tyres ready to go so that will not take long. Got 18x10 +5 (max on a 10 inch rim that Work make with O Disk)

In other news.......ended up de-badging as the black looked pretty mediocre to be honest. Took me the better part of two hours to get the badge off with a hairdryer, thread and a precision hobby knife set...and then some good ol' prepsol and heavy buffing and it now looks sweet :)

This was when it first came off and left sticky marks.

This was after prep sol and heavy buffing

Used a layer of colour cure plus rubbish that I had lying around in the shed too.....must say for a cheapish brand it worked wonders....quite impressed

Also....my mirrors have suddenly stopped adjusting.....so went to check the fuse and realized I had about as much chance as scoring with Ellie Goulding as I had of deciphering the language. So I proceeded to print this bad boy out..........

Which was too big....so reduced it and laminated it

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
