More yesterday than today but I finished the pack swap between the Blue car and the Black car along with the grid charger. So now the Black car is nearly A1.

The Blue car now has the Black cars pack, which appears to be fine.

I found out my clutch master cylinder is leaking, so I am parking the car for the 5-8 days for the new part to arrive. I hope all parts for this thing aren't so hard to get a hold of.

Green/Yellow.

I ran out of time/energy to finish it today. Springs are installed but managed to only get one of the new Monroe dampers installed. A simple bolt-in this is not, and the modifications are time consuming. I bolted the oem unit back in on the passenger side for now.

Over the weekend I washed, clayed & waxed the Blue Insight, prior to her being taken away by her new owner, hopefully she's off to a good home.

Finally got round to fitting the audio into the Black Insight, now I can stop talking to myself when driving him.

Replaced the old damaged fender liners with the much nicer ones I got from Jeff. Wheelwells look much better now. I was a bit surprised how much of the front wiring bundle rides above the driver's side liner, protected on two sides by only plastic panels (liner and fender).

Did an oil change with some Mobil 1 extended 5w-20, new Mobil 1 M1-108 extended filter and lowered my Insight another 1/4 inch all around for a total of 3/4 inch lower than stock.

Took off my Mugen MR-5's and put my OEM wheels back on...

What springs/dampers are you running?



Here's the scene in my garage yesterday:
