Oh and great video Allister. Had to watch it in mute (the girlfriend's watching her program

), but it looked smooth

I spent the first 6 months of driving my 4G wishing it would handle and lap like my 5th. On track there I was finally able to say "I wish this was as good as my 4G"

Thats the way its meant to be and shows all the work to the 4th was worth it

Now that the snow has stopped I brought the car out of storage and put it through an MOT, it passed without a single advisory

However in the week since the MOT my driver rear caliper has decided it wants to stay permenently on

So time for the yearly caliper maintenence

This years plans for the 5G is simply to get her looking fine again as at the moment she is covered in dents, miscoloured bumpers and lips, and a few chips which are leading to rust

At some point I'll put the car into the bodyshop, once the 4G stops sucking up money

Going back a bit here sir, but I have a question or two.

I have Mugen spats (rep of course) and I remember you have/had some.

I'm away from home at the moment so haven't had a look at them yet, but did you have fitment issues and how exactly did you fix them?

Cheers

I got a bodyshop to do it. They bonded it and put a plastic stud through one end

It was fitted when my sides and replica Mugen bumoper was put on a couple of years back.

On a different note my 5G is in for practically a whole respray next week

Sorting a load of bits inc where my dad hit it with his Toyota Land Cruiser. It should be ready for Total Jap Car
