Nothing like some 3am grinding to impress your new neighbours! How long till there's a big fat snail under the bonnet?

Still quieter than when I start up the bike lol. Once the driveline is sorted and I'm finished fiddling with the suspension setup I'll whack the snail on. Maybe this year funding permitting haha. Aslong as the big girl is still happy to limiter bash I'll be happy.

I can sympathise with the bike... my old YZ250F was louder than my mates WR450F, not to mention a bit more fun through the tighter tracks

Men never stop fiddling. its a part of nature.

Plastidip happening tonight (mate doing it for me) on the strut brace mounts, side vents and little bonnet bracket thingo.

Have finished one side of the coil relocation but am still tossing up whether to smooth and polish my rocker covers or buy new ones.

Small update sorta. Heaps has been happening in the few hours I get away from work late at night.

Oil cooler done plumbed running sorted !!

Mmm I love braided hose.

Coil relocation finished mount tested and running.

Still need to sort and polish the rocker covers though . Also threw away the washer and coolant overflow bottles . Will be getting some stainless ones made up for easier level access to both.

Also my mates over at superpro hooked me up with some more bits and replacement bushes.

The flutes are now black also.

Coilovers wound all the way down for the stancenation stance off in a few weeks.

Strut brace mounts also dipped black.

Also did the front swaybar again. Have gone from my solid 29mm bar to the hollow 30mm bar.

Thanks for reading guys and gals .

Finally got the r8 done and back on the st. It's ready to go. I must say I'm pretty happy with the new look of the extra black highlights.
