    Flipped the tie-rod ends and installed ball-joint spacers, now I have to get a wheel alignment. Hello proper steering geometry. In the process I found that one of the coilover spring seats was a bit loose and could be turned by hand - I'm pretty sure that was the annoying creaking sound when turning at slow speeds.

    Will do, just have to get a wheel alignment first. Won't be able to touch it until next weekend now. I was hoping to run at Oran park next Sunday but I think I may have run out of time. That would have been the perfect test for it not to mention the last opportunity to drive at Oran park before it shuts down

    Btw my control arms are about 20mm higher at the wheel ends so its not super low. It should be level or a tiny bit above with the extenders in. It will be interesting to see how noticeable the difference is.

    I 'fixed' my parcel shelf supports,.. by putting 'new' ones in! Replaced my clutch cable that was about to snap and also modified the clutch travel a bit, so I dont have to raise my knee above my ear to shift. Put some new rear wheels cyl's on some old (but have good thickness) rear drums. Also started prepping for the mk 3 booster and 22mm MC upgrade.
