Freed up a sticking rear caliper. Shortened inlet trunking ( cut the last bend out) to reposition K&N filter behind headlight and ducted some air to feed it. Big differance in responce and not as noisy.Will make up proper mounting brackets at the weekend and shield the filter some more.
The perfection of a Car's beauty is that nothing should be there for beauty's sake.

Put the hard-top back on for the coming winter, it's always a kinda sad day when I have to do that. :|
But Next Spring's not too far away :cheers:

Do you really think one trip to the beach is going to do that much damage? :)

No but I would rather it had not been on the beach. :)
Rust is not to much of a problem. It's the sand getting in everywhere
that would bother me.

Photos were taken on Inch beach, as part of a few mates that I met through Octane (though this wasn't an Octane run or anything like that, Octane doesn't "do" runs...)

Mine's back since yesterday! I have to admit it is a sad day.

But a lot of fun driving a "new car" for a couple of months too


safe driving y'all
