Boom! Function7 LCAs installed.

Suddenly, sp00n! This thing is awesome

Also got a set of XP10s for the front to try out, along with some HP+ pads for the rear. I will have to change the glider bolts in one front caliper before i try these though. Excited to see what they´re like, I´m hearing good things.

Completely forgot to update here. Got new caliper glide bolts installed, and put on the carbotech XP10s. Awesome pads to be honest, more aggressive than the DS2500 and not too bad for daily driving either. No fade at all during the last trackway. They are keepers. Waiting for a new rear caliper to arrive before I put the Hawk pads on in the rear.
And I´ve thrown away the EBC discs. I had high hopes for these, but they are just as crap as everything else I´ve had from them.

Also put on some HEL braided brake hoses, sweet.

I wanted to try OEM front upper arms as well, so I put a set on, and found out that the camber is WAY off on each side. I think I may have shifted the subframe when I put it back on, or something is bent. Will have to dismantle the front and check during winter.

See? -1.44 vs -0.33 front. Crap.

I got an offer for my Private Label TRI-Y header, so I sold it. And put the Mugen one back on. Didn´t really reflect on it the last time I switched, but the quality of work on the Mugen compared to Private Label is... substantial. In Mugen´s favour.

Got bored one day, and put on an older Momo steering wheel I´ve had for ages. Loving this, and I finally got an excuse to install my horn button to match the dice!

After having tried assorted seat bases and rails, there was no getting away from it; I needed Bride bases for my seats. So after a long wait - unfortunately past the last trackday they arrived :

And tonight I got around to installing the seats.. mmm... Brix and Ergo for driver and passenger.

These things are just awesome, and I even got lower than the DC2 seats.
I think that´s just about it.

Not the most exciting update, but on my last trackway of the year the radiator hoses looked like they were ready to explode. So new OEM ones have been installed.

Oh, and I put an extender on the Momo steering wheel, as the Brides put me so low compared to the DC2 seats, it was hard to find a sensible position.

There we go. Changed the other rear caliper, so now both rear brakes are new.

Pow.
