I seem to prefer the BR ones than the actual RS's. :?

cheers guys. I've just gone for a little drive and it handles really well now, just a shame the tyres scrub on the front when I run a dip in the road etc

What a day!
I've had to change the front suspension as these Spax were impractical and the tyres scrubed too much for my liking. Lucky I have some spare OE shocks and lowering springs. It's raised the front about 10mm, but it makes the world of difference. It feels a lot better now. I fitted the newly colour coded rear handles and given it a hoover, clean, rubbing compound buff and polish, and I'm knakered!!
:lol:

Car is half packed for tomorrow, can't wait to put my feet up! I'll try and get a few shots later, but may have to be after JAE, so Sunday night.


Damn it looks good! It could do with the front wings being the same colour, but it's no big deal, if they were blue or something then yeh, but as they are pretty similar colour I thought I'd leave it.

While at JAE, Joe from Banzai put a card under my wiper, and written on the back was an invite for a Shuttle feature with Craig and Ned's too!
It's going to be in about 4 weeks, so I expect December issue...?

Can't wait!! :D :D

Yeh I know, but its ended up costing me more than I thought getting it MOT worthy, and now I can't afford to keep it. Plus I'm still planning to go travelling before the end of the year's up. Would be nice to garage the VT while I'm away, I'll have to see what my parents say as we have our sofa in the garage as a temp measure so can't get a car in, and haven't got anywhere else to the it at the moment.

thanks mate! im making good use of it while I have it, and now the whole Banzai thing, makes the effort worthwhile on a bigger scale.

the VT certainly wouldn't lol! hopefully it will be running a B20vtec by then 8)
