plus, when is the last time you saw the inside of a gym?

 

I think I had a 32mb (not gb - enough space on it for almost a full album) MP3 player with the buds that came with it.

 

This was before iPods were even a thing ;)

 

Battery would last almost the whole session

Got a nice haul from sparesbox to take care of some maintenance items and also to upgrade the brakes and lower (tastefully) the suspension.

- Trying the Circo S17 front pads after seeing them recommended by @adams355 and doing a bit of my own research; should be interesting to see how they go.

- DBA T2's front & back because happy with slotted/vented rotors and their performance.

- Bendix CT pads on the rear (DBA SP's were out of stock :shocked: ). Who really cares as they're rear brake pads. :)

- Some SuperDot4 brake fluid for the brake changeover.

- Replacement front hubs as I've had a noisy drivers-side hub/bearing assembly for ages that I'd been meaning to fix.

- Monroe gt sport "low" shocks front and back.

- King KFFL-57SL fronts and KFRL-68SSL rears, which I've been over plenty of lowered B-series and these are the best at lowering it but not impractically so and also leveling out the car as the rear is higher than the fronts stock. (the King catalogue is strange to say the least with putting "KFFL-57" as "Super Low" and "KFFL-57SL" as just "Low" whereas the rear makes sense as "KFRL-68SSL" for "Super Low" and "KFRL-68SL" for just "Low").

Or thems the brakes in this case...

Nice haul there Keith! I had the FG hitting the nose on the driveway and had the Lovells setup (previous owners choice) where the rear rides higher than the front. Put Kings SSLs in the rear to change the take and bingo no more nose scrape

Bought this key fob housing yesterday. Gonna take a while to arrive I imagine but I'm keen to see the fit and finish of it. Always hated the factory key and I feel like this one is just slightly better looking. Gonna see how it goes and depending on the quality I may buy a whole heap of them for anyone else interested. Gonna see if I can get different colours done too. MOQ would likely increase though.
