I read about the denatured alcohol suggestion on Money's GT3 thread, so I did it last night with a few paper towels. It only took about 20 minutes, including the time to vacuum up the mess I made. I stopped at Walgreens this morning to buy some Kiwi Black shoe polish to finish the job. My wife even noticed the difference.

Will isopropyl alcohol work just as well as denatured alcohol?

Yes, but weaker, and therefor works slower.

New shorter and stiffer (KW) springs, along with new suspension bushes. Plus 7mm spacers all around. Car is now similar ride height to a GT3. I like the new sporty ride - not too harsh, but feels more connected to the road.

Further modifications to follow...

Isopropyl alcohol is one kind of denatured alcohol and either will work. I only use the 91% Isopropyl for everything.

Hi. Am not sure of the exact kit used. Definitely KW springs. Ride height reduced by 10mm at the rear and 20mm at the front, compared to standard Carrera T suspension (Sport PASM).

Work done by Litchfield Motors. They’re based in Gloucestershire here in the UK, so hopefully I’m not treading on the toes of any Rennlist sponsors.

Default Colored Bevels

JUST ADDED YELLOW EDGES TO MY GAUGE CLUSTER. HAD TO PAINT THEM VERY CAREFULLY BY DUSTING PAINT. ORDERED THE MATT FINISHED ONES FROM EBAY/CHINA. AM ALSO ENCLOSING PHOTOS ON OTHER ITEMS ON THE CAR IN THE SAME COLLOR WHICH MATCHES THE FACTORY CALIPERS. ENJOY!

I think the quoted weight of the T in the UK was 1,425kg in the motoring press. Maybe my extra 13kg was because I ‘added back in’ the rear seats, PCM and standard rear glass? Or maybe the amount of fuel in the tank had an effect? Either way, I don’t think I’d call my T a heavyweight.
