Long time since any updates.
Before
And after
???????
Alternator heat shield mounting lugs damaged and a crack through the middle, so done the worst quick carbon skinning job I've ever done lol But not visible and is strong, it'll do.
Nurburgring trip was successful, but had to change a bearing on the front and the rear diff bearings finally started to whine after 30 years. I should have changed them when doing the Weir Performance MaxGrip upgrade 6 years ago, but I was being cheap and they were ok-ish then. Ah well :lol:
Stopped off in Brugge for the last night away, knocking back some serious beer and chocolate :lol:
Slight issue came up the last time the wheel bearings gave up the ghost at the Nurburgring. Excessive movement meant the calipers touched the inside of the wheels. With the wheel bearings sorted, I've shaved the calipers a touch so it won't happen the next time bearings fail. Just need to get a bit of paint on them and have the inside of the wheels re-coated now.
]Got some nice new helper springs off Santa this year lol So thought it would be rude not to refurb the coilovers, fit new bushes and stickers the same time. Also fitted some smaller number plates and black indicator lenses, since they now work through the ST170 headlights.
???????
Few more jobs completed while it sits doing nothing for the rest of the year most likely
Brake lines needed renewing a bit, so rear lines have new fittings and went for full new kit on the front.
