What have you done today/recently to your 5?
Yesterday I got the FM Butterfly Brace installed! the moment I put it into gear and crawled, I clearly felt the difference. Feels so much tighter and just.. tighter the suspension does more work and the chassis feels a lot more like a unit and car felt so young

Re: What have you done today/recently to your 5?
Installed a mohair soft top last weekend - looks sweet 
I have the following parts sitting in boxes ready to install... just no time!
Toyota COPS;
Wilwood front brakes;
Carbing strut braces (front and rear);
FM Butterfly brace;
Boss Frog Frog Arms;
Reinstall OEM rear sway bar;
(probably other things that I am forgetting).
With uni, racing and work, the little white beast does not get enough attention...

Speaking of which, my right indicator often stops flashing, then flashes again, or suddenly starts to tick extremely fast. Would that be a fuse problem?

Drop some diff oil into the pillow mount on top of the front shocks. Stopped the rattle.
No, probably a bad earth. Check your wiring connection to the body.

Stripped out the carpet and centre console.
Installed Brown Davis roll bar.
Installed Sparco harnesses.
Removed door trims (the non-sealing selastic is a NIGHTMARE!!!!)
Removed head unit, amp and speakers.
Removed Neons.
Installed 52mm aluminium radiator.
Installed socks for brake and clutch fluid canisters.
Waiting to install heat wrap for dump pipe and exhaust.
I think that was it.
