Eisenmann Sport mufflers for the Moupe. I actually bought them a few months ago but I finally got around to hanging them on the car. They make a nice, deep, throaty rumble at low RPMs, veray sexay. And of course there is the 5hp gain from the logo.

I didn't realize what a PITA it was to get them aligned properly! I thought I'd just tighten up the bolts and presto. But no! One must position the tips where one wants them, *then* tighten stuff up. Tricksy.

Sylvania headlight restoration kit - pretty simple but it made a big difference.

Haven't had any luck restoring my headlights. How bad were yours? Do you really recommend this kit?

A few years ago mine were badly toasted and I was able to restore them to new condition with the 3M kit from Walmart.
It's a time consuming multi-step process, but effective.
I then put Headlight Armor on them.
Now the Headlight Armor is toast and I have a different problem.

The upper areas of both lenses were pretty cloudy. It was bad enough to make the car look aged, but not quite bad enough to significantly affect headlight brightness at night. After reading many reviews, I bought the Sylvania kit for about $15. It came with everything needed except for painters tape and a spray bottle for water. The process was pretty easy and took about 90 minutes. You have to progressively wet sand the lenses using 400, 1000, and 2000 grit sand paper, then apply a clarifying compound (a gritty, toothpaste-like substance). The headlights still appear a little cloudy through this step. The final step involves the application of a UV block clear coat which instantly clears up the lenses. I have read that this final step is the one that sets the Sylvania kit apart from the others. I'm hopeful that it will hold up over time. In my opinion, the key to getting this right is the sanding process. If your lenses are very degraded, you may need to mechanically wet sand them with a drill attachment in the first stage. Hope this helps and good luck!

Finally installed the JRZ RS Pros, Ground Control camber plates & GC rear adjustable camber arm. While it was in the shop also refreshed all the rear bushings, flex disk and diff seals. Now have to figure out how to dial in the suspension!

Spare coolant expansion tank and associated plastic line to the radiator.
Having now held the tank in my hands I'm surprised that these things can rupture.
It's way heavier than I would have guessed.

Just added a Gurney Flap to the GTS wing. Can't believe someone they actually got the direction of the weave and cut almost perfect.

APR Makes them, I purchased the straight version and had them cut it to specs. They make them for curved and straight wings. Was about $125, the weave and fitment were perfect.
