they are just one of those mods that i just dont like really. will have a headlight duct sorted for next year. the foglight one you can actually feel it getting air sucked up it even though people will say thats impossible.

i really wish things were more exciting. but sadly they are not. after using iridiums for 2 years, changed them for some non irridiums.



new ones gapped to 0.5



old ones. looks like its been running ok anyway.

should have some different suspension and rear anti roll bar to fit on saturday though so i guess thats a little bit exciting. maybe.
