Default My weight reduction mod - handles like a dream now!!!

Yep, i stand by my comments that removing 5 kg from an exhaust seated at the bottom rear of the car has absolutely sweet f.a. effect on handling - but remove half a kg from the roof, the furtherest part of the car from the centre of gravity, and you'll definitely feel it

so here is my mod to reduce weight in the roof area.....

kidding of course

Real CF rear view mirror with tinted blue glass, should match my Prim@ru CF gauge pods really well - but i cant get the damn stock mirror off, anyone got tips, its the standard non auto dimming mirror



...and the blue mirror glass twins

Man someone had a pair of those FS in market place 2/3 months back, they were pricey but it may be worth the research.

worth noting the Ganador mirrors are set up for RHD (Jap, UK, Aus) cars, as the "objects appear closer than they are" mirror will be on the opposite side for you guys
