done a few small jobs to it recently,the dash holes needed tidying up so these have been covered with carbon sheet, and i had a go at lightening the front bumper, theres a bit still to cut out from the brackets but i want to use a holesaw and don't have one suitable at the mo. 2kg saving so far, the bumper weighs 6 to start with

compression checked it last night to see what the effect of kr head + abf block had, 15bar/220psi across all 4  :smiley:

which i believe works out at a cr of 10.85:1, so a little up on standard
