i missed out on a full Geranium interior due to thinking it was darker in colour than it is. Totally gutted!!

[blacktulip]

fitted a new RC40 twin box system this evening in place of a maniflow single box system. much better and quieter. i do have a slight blow so will buy some paste tomorrow and crawl back under lol.

also i swear it feels quicker than before

tonight i have fitted my new electronic dizzy but have run into some wiring problems. i am going to spend tomorrow sorting it out and doing a few other jobs too.

- the RC40 i fitted needs a few adjustments as i an getting a rattle underneath where it must be too close to something, so will need to do that.
- i have the original rocker cover and some new original spec stickers for it so will be giving that the once over as well.
- might fit the rest of my new carpet set and mats plus wash the whole car and polish.

looks like a nice weekend ahead for some work

new dizzy up and running, big difference on the road and when at idle. its so much smoother at part throttle plus all washed, i spend half the day polishing it by hand. my arms are going to be stiff tomorrow lol. got to get myself a DA polisher soon!!

[blacktulip]

i just bit the bullet and sent it in for the inside, roof, door frames to be sprayed again plus a flat and polish all over. i took it down today and should be ready for the weekend.

also the first decent run with the new dizzy installed and it feels so much smoother it hard to describe.

Small things, but I love the black inserts on the windows. 

Much cleaner than the chrome/silver ones.
