My heat mat in the tunnel was crap. Admittedly the exhaust did touch it in a few places which probably didn't help.

Second time lucky. Done it with some decent Mocal stuff. Hopefully it will last this time.

Modded Y piece to bring the mid section right into the tunnel.

10565140_10152680942361654_6661153087674

Cut and moved back this corner so the Y piece has more clearance.

Got a mate to weld these bends on my exhaust so it tucks it right up under the floor.

10514702_10152680942401654_1257304323027

In place with the exhaust wrapped all the way along the tunnel. Has made such a difference to the heat coming through inside the car.

Bought some new rear arms and cut off all the bits i didn't need.

Standard arm weight (lightenned a little)

1451422_10152686545626654_23289273359528

KAD arm, a good 4KG saved!

10502022_10152686545866654_7257051115624

All done. I've also changed the rear springs from 125lbft to 150lbft. Which has stopped it rubbing at the back and set up the gear linkage correctly.

Changed my switches, what a difference being able to reach them makes!

Will be at MITP this weekend camping trying to get the alignment sorted today, had to take all the arches off as they couldn't get the heads on the wheels. Going back down this afternoon for a second attempt.

Made it to MITP despite getting stuck in M25 traffic for an hour.

Got seriously washed out. Saturday was good and it was nice to meet a few more people on here!

I think I still need to improve my radiator setup, it started getting a little warm going fast along the M1 and for some reason it chucked a little oil out the oil cap. Lots of rattles to sort to.
