Nah, I think Jens car wants subtle lows... there are some VERY nice touches on it, and they are very subtle. I like that it looks stock but only someone with a trained eye will appreciate the work and care gone into it

In my honest opinion lowered enough to remove majority of the arch gap would look mad!

Been cleaning and giving it a bolt check before the sprint tomorrow, still can't find the source of its oily incontinence but the oil levels staying basically the same? Weird
Is it alright to remove that piece of rusty metal beneath the gearstick for painting? Don't need to damage anything gearboxy
Picture makes the car look so rough, it is actually quite presentable I promise

Snapped a bolt that hangs the wing on, starting to hate the car again.

Haha. Can't guarantee the idiot side of my brain won't take over.
Yeh this is the 2 hg engine. Does everyone torque the head to standard spec with 2 head gaskets?

How did you get them out?
I looked at cutting round em but that'd leave the gasket in the ring (assuming they're hollow)

interesting stuffI may try and find a mls gasket from another car with a 76mm bore.
Assuming our random calculations are correct I should be around the 33psi area.. which is a fair bit to tackle down
