JDM section:
fitted a cusco catch can to the hot-side (woo yay JDM) and fabbed a little bracket for it in the process.
fitted a little furoshiki to the harness bar (soooo JDM)
fitted a murakami knee pad (TOTALY JDM YO!)
non-JDM:
applied ACF-50 anti-corrosion spray to my meisters (a better solution than the meister's own ARC imo)
rechecked my tyre pressures - no pressure loss after a week (new valve worked)

Red Tint sprayed my reverse light to make my fog light red. Cause MOT monday and it would probably have failed with the half rear canoed attempt I did before. Looks so much better doing it properly!    Just out of interest, have you got the afterburner rear panel to fully seal and be waterproof? I understand they're not a perfect OEM fit so need work! Yeah, i cut up some rubble bag to the shape of the standard rear light seals. Then sealed them with sticky stuff to the inside of the boot, with a grommet cut out for the wires to feed through. All been fine! |

Finally got round to spraying my door today. Crap effort (ran out of paint) but its better than the yellow high build primer its had on it for 9 months).  Finally fitted my custom tail badge tonight as well :-)  |

The literal translation is actually "Wave Man" and means a "drifter" or a "wanderer". (Some would say vagrant).

Ronin definitely has a 'drifter' sentiment to it. What a lovely word.

Ordered a new mcgard locking wheel nut key. €16 more than I paid for the whole kit! Though I did get the kit for ~£4 on ebay.
Really hope my brakes will pass the MOT tomorrow :/

Lowered the front back down 10mm or so from trailer/MOT height, then washed and waxed it, for the first time in 6 months.

Took the hard top off the mk2.5. drove it. still such a nice car to drive and be in. I can barely bare to consider replacing it with something more practical despite my mk1s.
