how long did it take to make this tom?

 

[TomF]

About two days Kev, its an actual pod screwed onto the pillar trim then blended in with filler to get that shape.

Fitted my new uprated additional rear anti roll bar today, its 22mm diameter compared to 15mm that the early gsi`s came with.

Feels alot better now compared to not having one in the first place lol, much flatter through corners

Whilst I was fitting that I had a look at the handbrake cables as the handbrake has never felt quite right and discovered that the cable mounting is making a break for freedom from the floor

So thats next on the list

Also sorted the electronic speedo out so it works spot on and so does the fuel computer so made up with that.

Yes mate, its a proper piece of kit and well worth it

Theres several uprated parts on that site that Im looking into at the moment like subframe braces, and engine mounts.
