Rear panel fitted with speakers, will post some pics tomorrow. Colour of the felt I bought turned out to be spot on.
I drove out to WiM to get a alignment done. It was almost unnecessary, the rear was fine, as expected after only 1000 miles. The front needed a very minor tweak, interestingly on the side of the broken LCA. I wonder if it was starting to go at the time of the last alignment.
Another thing we noticed. I was last at WiM in June 2011, just after I bought the car. I had done lower BJ's and I think 1 or 2 front wheel bearings. No bushes, and original LCA's. At the time, the camber was way off. After poly bushing the front and fitting DPNW sway bar kit (and all rears in rubber), the camber was back in limits.
Makes sense I guess, but interesting nonetheless.
Also nice that even changing the LCA's for the DMCMW ones, it didn't change the geometry. Shit cars can still be good fun!
Tomorrow- fuel pressures and centre the steering wheel (again!)
Cheers,
Andy
