Today was a good Igor day. He is now 30 mm lower. The front was a bit of a pain; six hours to change the front springs (top nuts destroyed) but the rear was a six minute affair -- didn't even remove the wheels. The front wouldn't have been possible without my friend Uffe.

The antenna is now removed. If your are considering it have a look under the switch for the indoor light. It is really easy.

I have never liked power steering so today I took it away. It feels much better. The car is so light, so I do not think it's needed. The only problem is the warning light but I can live with it.

The lower grill block is now permanent. I also moved the license plate so it's now over the grill block to the right. I can easily cut a small hole for the radiator if it will be necessary when it gets warmer in spring. I hope I won't have to.

Rear license plate lightning are now LED. They sent me different colours from Hong Kong so it looks a bit strange with one blueish and one greenish light but it's a minor problem.

There is some rubber skirt-thing hanging down in the front. I'm thinking of making it longer to get the air stream away from under the car as much as possible. While working today I noticed a lot of fastening points for a under body cover… Hm, that will be a fun project.



I have to read up on the car specific english but please correct the language if I make mistakes.
