Modification of the quarter! Nominate your favorite mod here

Well, its April now, and that means we've gone through the first quarter of 2011. We took your feedback from the last 'mod of..." and we'll be breaking it down quarterly this time.

So, with that I open up the nominations for best mod of 2011 Q1! There are some good ones out there.

Can I nominate myself? Or at least offer my mods for nomination?

The project is still 'work in progress'. I still have to complete a vent block and fit 155x15x5j wheels and tyres when my current tyres need replacing.

At first I was disappointed with the results I was getting but they seem to be getting better and better. The warmer weather accounts for some of it. Would be happy to field questions, post pics or consider suggestions!
