Few days left to homologation and some new parts again...

In two weeks from now on I will bring my car to the homologation garage!
In the meantime I have let the car be technically inspected and there are 2 issues at the moment:
1. the bushings of the front upper control arms on both sides are damaged and need to be prepaired or exchanged! I'm not sure if this is a problem for the homologation but I really wouldn't want to change those parts before winter as I'm planning anyway on upgrading the suspension parts.
2. one hose of the fuel tank bleeding got loose so I need to fix it.

Further on, since I'm a kind of an perfectionist, I decided to make the same modification to the reverse light as I made for the fog light.
This time everything went quicker and the result is extraordinary! Now I can really see something when driving reverse!





This week, some new parts were delivered from jdl-brakes.com
One HKS Hi-Power cat back exhaust which was delivered with the Jasma certificate (which for some reason is needed in Austria for the homologation)...



...and since I'm planning on upgrading my brakes to the R35 GT-R brake system, I also ordered new Alcon brake discs and some Ferodo pads!





As sometimes everybody needs a little luck in their lives, I was lucky enough to be sent on a business trip to the UK! Good thing is I have ordered the brake calipers there and have picked them up personally in order to avoid some high postage costs :) Thanks to Graham once again :)




Keep on following :)
