Definitely will appreciate it around the twisties!

And don't worry, I had all three of my housemates have a go at the left top nut before I managed to get it loose.

Seeing as mine came with the strut braces, I never knew how amazing they were until I tried driving with them off... sh*t they're good 8O

I don't have a socket wrench so knew my front bar wouldn't be coming off today but tried seeing if there was a way of removing the factory air feed without that. No successes but tinkered anyway. It's still attached to something..
I couldn't see a way of removing the wheel lining without tearing it either... but I'm sure there's a trick.

Today's progress:

gained: NS60S battery
removed: 3 bolts...and this thing

nice progress...

can get an up rated rear sway bar to really give the oversteer appeal... takes a bit of getting used to.

not sure what you could get away with, had a 22mm on the Zuk, had a shorter wheelbase though, could probably be comfortable in the FTO with a 24mm if you could find one.

dunno what the stock is, i would think 20mm

That sounds like a really interesting path to take, to create oversteer didn't even cross my mind.
22mm...I'll remember that, I'd actually really like to see how that would work out.
Thanks for mentioning it! :)

Congrats on the yellow beauty btw, it is amazing, there can't be many left. And I love how you're keeping it stock. :thumright:
Has an lsd too doesn't it?
