Desperately needs a wash.

Despite all my cringing at hearing the tyre constantly scrubbing on a recent drive through McCarrs Creek Rd, upon inspection only trivial damage has been done! So looks like only a light roll will be necessary.

Oh, and one other thing. Man the RE-11 has a lot of grip.

Snapped this while the car was up on the hoist:

Notice the snapped hose clamp on the muffler hanger. That explained the horrible vibrations I was getting (cat banging up against the brace)

Do you need some stock rubber muffler hangers? I have a few spare in the garage. Shall I bring them to the Iceberg Run on Sunday?

Naaaah Bryan, mine are still good I think, they just needed to be compressed further because the exhaust sits naturally very low. Jason did this so that I can get a bit more ground clearance with the brace.

Ermm... at the moment mines about 2mm. It rattles everywhere. I need to fix this. LOL. But my exhaust hangs low. YMMV.
