Mine has been doing it for over a month.....but the last time I drove at night was the last time I had this problem. I rarely drive at night but two times in a row is enough to annoy me and figure the problem

Managed to get some rear suspension on and new brakes on one side rear... Couldn't get a caliper bolt out on the passenger side and broke my wrench... Almost stripped the bolt with a different approach so I figured I would get back to it a different day...




Picture is about as shitty as my body feels right now.

Actually the caliper bolt going into the bracket... Also needing a short socket, the 1/4 inch was the only ratchet that would fit and I broke that bastard in half... Probably a good thing though, I feel like I got ran over..


Just checked my basement and found my 6 point 14mm so ill get too it with that later this week.

I wonder if its going to settle more, might need to adjust upwards, wheels might need an upgrade or spacers

It was a shop, not to expensive. From the beginning the idea was to fix it myself but had to much work the last 2 months and now its summercar weather in Sweden so i wanted it fixed asap

I did my doors myself re-holstering over the winter, its not hard to make the seats yourself, you can find a howto on this forum

But sometimes, TIME = MONEY

Waiting on this one now with red-stitches.


I will get real carbon this fall/winter, Vinyl works but ye, the real deal looks better.

Got the rest of the brakes on... Feel like I dropped the car on me, but I didn't...

Special note when you paint your wheels avoid spraying brake cleaner on them
