The fact that it's costing £53.
And yeah it would, I'm just gonna pop out to the car to see if it will be too close, or if it will actually be a benefit.

It's looking good. It brings it close enough so that i can have my thumbs in the grips and rest my elbows on the side bolsters of my seat just nicely. I will have to take it off to get in though. Ah well it was never gonna be practical haha

You'll love those brakes
The group N discs are a must.
I have them with the standard pads and discs, and they're very good. They are a bit soft.. but it only really bothers me when i need to brake hard For normal driving they're fine
But yeh, you'll love them with those pads, and a new master cylinder

Oh i see. Did think it was a slightly inappropriate name for a gearbox lol.
And i already have that planned out. Got an ipod dock that plugs into cigarette lighter for the road trips. Whack it in the glovebox. done.
Just don't corner too hard and the ipod shouldn't be killed haha

Got some more high tensile bolts today for the second set of side mounts so i got those mounted.
And another angle i haven't photographed before, thought some may be interested to see.
Then i got all the loom and new fuel line p clipped into place. And got all the loom infornt of the seats wrapped in fabric tape to stop them being damaged or covered in dirt by feet etc.
And the last pic, if your wondering, i have wrapped the fuel line in a strip of towel and taped it up to raise it off the floor and stop chaffing.
Almost there everyone.
(well at least for phase one )

Would you get the monaco's in leather or fabric? The leather ones do look really nice if your not going down the hardcore route

I would get them in the fabric. Although i am soo tempted by these, would go so well my red/black theme:

They are tasty. Not too much red. You should go for them. They will match the super t's well.
