My car is ready for this year with a couple of new parts.

RKSport Ram Air hood:



Norms rear diffuser. Props to Norm. Awesome work, looks great. We were both unsure how the hitch would work out, but everything is great.

Swapped out my Tulip for Jason's, plus brackets, so I could use my flyswatter!







Thanks Jason!

Jim :cool:

Hey Jim,

Why did you opt for the Flyswatter?

Derek

The wind restrictor that goes between the deck lid and the Tulip panel prevents me using that one, and I do not like the V2 version that uses velcro to hold it behind the seat stuck to the Tulip panel.

I didn't mean there would be problems, I just do not like the attachment set-up. If you like yours that is great! Seriously, it just isn't for me.

Started my suspension install after doing brakes and brake fluid and oil and i can't figure out how to remove the tie rod bolt from the hub on the rear suspension. i took off the nut but the bolt won't budge.

Put the  nut back on but don't tighten it.  Put a socket back on it, use a hammer to break it loose.

Congratulations TS!

Today I went out to play with a few of my favorite kappas (See thread dedicated to Kelu/Arabas) and later we got to spend time with Lusifer!



Nice rear Elff :D

Thanks, it actually started out a threesome, then four, then by the end of the day it was five. It would have been six but Morfious got a new toy he wanted to play with.
