So, some updates from over the winter. The car is back on the road (yay!).

- Smoothed front bumper (licence plate holes filled)
- Tow hook licence plate to suit
- Custom (self made) carbon canards added
- Schmiedmann carbon lip added
- Carbon mirror covers added
- APR GTC-300 Spoiler added
- Converted to studs, Mishimoto lugs added
- Ultra Racing 3 point strut brace added
- Renown Steering wheel added (airbag deleted)
- Shift and Hand brake gates, matched suede and stitching to steering wheel
- New perforated black handbrake to match better
- Dinan intake added
- Custom carbon behind kidney to direct air (as seen in earlier posts)
- Replaced front window surround (needed replacing)

Programmed

- One touch up passenger window
- Donut brake lights (full circle brake lights)
- Key operated convertible roof

Discovered

- Tried to reprogram rear light cluster to accept LED bulbs. And although you can program constant 12Vs to the bulb meaning it doesn't flicker, this now means the brake lights don't get brighter. Tried numerous "values" in the programming and it won't work. Old school bulbs or full face lift conversion are really the only options.

- Lots of other programming options for coupes and roadsters, I'd be willing to chat if anyone local is interested, or wants to pay for a burger/beer


Other

- Camber wear at -3 degrees is more excessive than I thought. Going to raise the rear, lower the front and pic up some camber arms.





Pic time!
