Haven't really done much for a while. Money went on the bike this month but that's finished now so usual spending on stuff I don't need is resumed!
My ripp strut brace arrived today. Got it painted

(china was the only colour I had left in the shed. I'm not that much of a tart to colour code it)

And a whoring photo because we all know that china is beautiful in the sun!
Oh and then I promptly dropped it and ruined the finish. Not that I'm fussed. It's only to protect it.

Was an absolute bastard to fit. The holes were about 3mm too close together so had to get the grinder out and widen them slightly. Don't know if that's because my sub frame is fooked or what but its on now.
Drives epically now. The front feels so solid going into a corner and the lift off over steer now is absolutely immense! It's made an unreal difference and can't wait for my top one.
Also got my new air con pipe fitted. Tbh I cant see any real damage to the old one but at least I know this ones good now! Will be getting someone out to pressure test it payday.
