Attempted to change exhaust from centre exit playmini to side exit no make, didn't go well as the link pipe from front to back decided to remove itself from the manifold....

Whilst I was at it, I changed both rear shocks from KYB Adjustarides to Bilstein B4's, nicer ride if I'm honest. Also changed suspension from HiLo's with springs to standard trumpets and cones...

Interesting, lots seem to rave about the Adjustarides. I was thinking of swapping them for my GAZ adjustables (that are wound right down) which are weeping. May reconsider now.

Kyb gas ajust do the job as a standard type damper, if you want click adjust use a kyb brand shock as they're softer than Bilstein and Gaz etc

My waterproof cover arrived so it's out of the rain (good thing as sunroof is leaking).

Hit it with a hammer. Resisted the urge to hit it very hard with an even bigger hammer. F€$¥ing thing.

Got my ass into gear and started to fit the Protech shocks.

Last night was the offside front. Might do the nearside front tonight! Lol
