Not really sure what to do next mate. I've just installed a small hidden subwoofer to improve the sound. A few other jobs I still need to tackle;

* Sloppy steering. Rack bushes were poly replacements so wonder if it's the rubber coupling?

* Tracking also needs doing

* Carb could probably do with a tune on a rolling road

* If carb tune doesn't help with some flat spots I seem to get during acceleration, maybe replace dizzy with a programmable Bluetooth unit?

Would be nice to get a bit more power out of it but I don't want to go with big carbs or aggressive cams yet. Totally open to suggestions though! What would you do?
