[QUOTE="flyboypuoi, post: 797298, member: 25768"] I'll be honest, I'm really enjoying this red car. It's looking all cute down there from above. It's also a thrill to drive, being so light. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1.jpg"]77296[/ATTACH] Finally I was able to test the fuel warning lamp. It's bright! This car seems to barely use any fuel. This is using one of those frosted incandescent T5s I picked up abroad. I should buy more when I go again. [ATTACH type="full" alt="2.jpg"]77297[/ATTACH] It hit a displayed 66k miles. Realistically it's driven less, given the over-read. I'd estimate it to be closer to 60k. But that's the case with all wheeled vehicles. The over-read is still about 10% so I'm wondering if the first facelift speedometer drive or gauge hardware accounts for 13 inch wheels compared to the second facelift. Or maybe it's just got a similar total radius to the 14 inch setups with thinner tyres. Probably that. [ATTACH type="full" alt="3.jpg"]77298[/ATTACH] Last night, I visited a friend for a few parts and to generally chat ****. I took the cabbage launcher in hopes that he could ugga-dugga off the bolts holding the current one on. Instead he tidied up the insanely poor welds it had. Funny enough, Eddie's old exhaust that spat out its wire was used. I had a look inside the powerflow, it's like on my bike, a straight thick tube with holes in it, which presumably leads to wire wool or something. [ATTACH type="full" alt="4.jpg"]77299[/ATTACH] It seems that this is now the Red K11 Gang. Boy does mine look high compared to the other two. But mine can navigate terrible muddy lanes full of holes for dog walking purposes. [ATTACH type="full" alt="5.jpg"]77300[/ATTACH] The exhaust silencer looked much better than before. Of course this isn't beautiful, but before this it was... well. Disgusting. The pipe leading into the silencer was smaller than the hole in the silencer so that's why it's less of a standard weld.
