MG Canberra Club motorkhana in which I'm relatively confident for the results. Just have to wait a few days for them to get posted.

Oil change and then swap the standard plastic window top for a glass window top.

just waiting for the metal brackets to dry after giving them a spruce up and paint in black rust protection paint and finish fitting everything up tomorrow.

Unpacked a parcel from Shox. Thought about trying to install (for about 15mins) then called Ben at Port Hacking Auto and booked it in.

Went up with Regie to grab my R-Specs. I won't be running them in December but I know someone who will be and I know who he will be hunting down :lol:

Drove it back from Tamworth!

Picked it up from Sydney yesterday, and loving it to bits!

Glad you got her home safe and well.

Bought another hardtop.

Nice Okibi, I like the black on red.

To keep the theme going, my omgpham hardtop brackets arrived today.
Was a very easy install and they are an excellent product. All pre-stressed/bent in the right way.
Thanks Pham (John)

And now... no hardtop noise

Wind noise almost gone. I need to fix up my seals.

Tomorrow: lowered springs.
In a week: AEM intake and MBC

I really need to start a garage thread

(Damn it all - all my money gone)

Looks like it really was the latches

Car now lowered and aligned by Wheels World in Osborne Park (Perth) - thanks Okibi!
I didn't expect such a transformation! Best thing I've done so far. Next after that would probably be the omgpham brackets as my old latches were making me crazy.
Still can't get over how it corners. My springs were mismatched before so the difference was significant.

Some quick pics:

[Edit] There it is! I see where the wind noise is coming from now!
