Long time no update...

Swapped my Evo 9 battery with Dyslexik's S4 Bosch Mega Power battery. :)

Also changed over those boring 2 pin style windscreen washer nozzle with the Camry Sportivo Washer Nozzle from the same era as the corolla.

Before

After

Loving the fanning of the water rather than just two streams of water coming from each nozzle :)

Me likey those washers, I hate the ones I have at the moment. Had an VEII SV6 as a hire-car the other day and it had the washer jets built into the wiper arms. which is an ingenious idea (very rarely drive new cars so not sure if this is now common or not)

Well, the kermit's return to the track and man what a disappointment that was... only managed a 1.53.19 on the 9th lap of the day. Brakes and gearbox didn't like me at all so i tried to change my driving style but had to pull out early and rage quit for the day. It wasn't my time and the weather was so fine... :( i couldn't use the new suspension setup to its full potential. but anyways some pictures thanks to phillip who accompanied me on the day ;)

To be 6s off your PB, something must have been majorly wrong. Brakes won't make that much difference on their own. How was everyone else fairing on the day, the general consensus a slow day (dirty surface)? Any oil/fluid down? If the tyres are the same I wouldn't be blaming them for that. Probably a lot of minor thigns adding up. Like heat, tyres slightly older, dirty track surface, not in the groove, down on a bit of track driving (you can lose pace just like losing fitness).
