This looks excellent. What color grey is that, is it a factory color?
I have graphite metallic LB7V that I will have resprayed in the next few years.
Almost didn't realize there are no headlights.
Again, looks fantastic!

Thanks! I wrestled with it for a while, but the paint before was so terrible it had to go.
I particularly enjoyed the hand applied, taped on numbers.
It is meteor grey from 2007, I'll find the code...
Ditzler PPG - 917370

And the headlight delete would make a nighttime enduro a challenge, but I tend to only run 1 hour max daylight events, so I ditched the weight.
Just ordered 27mm torsion bars. I tried to like the 26mm bars but they were just too soft compared to the 200lb/in front springs, and they felt weird and squishy in the back. I'm not looking forward to doing the job again, though.
Anyone in the market for 26mm torsion bars, lightly used?
Brakes! Ordered some new front rotors, front and rear Porterfield R4-S pads, SS lines, sensors, fluid, and speed bleeder valves from Pelican. All this, of course, after staring lustfully at the 4-piston Wilwood kit but restraining myself.

maybe some installation issue, or our preferences are very different
I found the 26mm bars to be perfect with my 200# fronts, but definitely wouldn't want anything stiffer for a street car.
i have brand new shocks all around, and the thing rides like an unloaded truck...lol

Could just be preference, or maybe a difference in setup, but my car feels like the *** end just bounces around like it's in the background of a rap music video.
The shocks are newer Koni yellows adjusted to full hard damping. I've tried other settings too without really any improvement in ride quality. I'm not expecting a Cadillac ride out of a lowered sports car with stiffer than stock springs, but I do want the movement to be controlled. It feels to me as if all suspension movement gets transferred to the rear because the front feels much stiffer.
I guess we'll see after I install the 27mm torsion bars. I would like a touch less understeer than my current setup gives me, anyway.

Reason: typo
Not seeing a whole lot of Spanish on the battery...
When I go to Europe I always try to speak what ever language is that of the host country but, all too often, I represent a chance for the locals to practice their English. Frankly, I think it's kinda sad when that happens. Mind you, they may just be having pity on me...
My kids always hope to come away with a Spanish/German/Italian/French etc. t-shirt but it seems that most things are in English! Oh well, at least we were able to get a FC Barcelona shirt at the stadium.
