That last bend is scary that's why lol, the combination of it rising so you can't see and knowing you're over the edge if you fcuk up made me do a little wee in my pants last year

Does look like the car pulls well tbf. Did look pretty quick on the day as well. Shame that you are selling it though, hope it goes to someone that will carry on using it how it should be used.

Yeah i think this could be the biggest issue, it NEEDS to go to someone who actually knows what they are getting.

I understand why you'd think that, however I think we've both put the 'Being a c-nut to eachother' stage behind us. I respect the work you've put into this & I think whoever does buy it will be getting a properly sorted car.
As I've said, if I had the money and could warrant a second car I'd be all over it I assure you!

Wow. Thanks man.
If you are keen...I'm sure we can workout a payment plan
In other news...fixed the horn and at least narrowed down the heavy clunk. Steering rack related I think.
Got nice list of things to go through...wana get on.

Time to crack on with tidy up presale.
Suspension refresh time...
First, front end. Coilovers off.
Need a clean up, grease up paint and got new 300lb springs to try as the 275s have always felt a little soft in coping with that 2.1.
Half way. Annoyingly MrsPiggy has chucked my crystals away so cant clean up the helper springs till tomorrow.
