Small update, started chipping away at removing the sound deadening and dynamat from the rear of the car. Dry ice makes the factory applied sound pads super easy to bash off, but it does nothing for the pain in my ass that is dynamat. Just using a heatgun to apply a little heat to make the adhesive go a little soft then pulling it off in small sections at a time.





That's where I've left that for now as it is an ultra frustrating job I'll return to when I've got another pocket of time. Once that is all cleaned up I'll start the job of mounting the surge tank. At this stage I am planning to run 5/16 fuel hose from the tank lid to the surge tank, then new braided teflon an6 line through the car up to the engine bay.

Also ordered and fitted new MCA XR coilovers with 9kg front and 7kg rear springs. A quick drive around the block and they are very firm with lots of feel through the road but still quite compliant over big bumps. Looking forward to racing on them soon.

Old v new
