New Promo video for YouTube Channel & Mirrors.


It's a montage of Videos and photos from the last couple of years of Motor Sports in Japan Youtube. I hope you like it  :-)

Also, I had been contemplating changing the factory barn door style door mirrors for ages and finally did it.
後は、結構前から純正ドアミラーを替えると思っていました。WRC風が好きなので、これにしました。

I like the WRC style ones, and although there are exact replicas available I decided to save myself the rather large cost difference and got some cheaper (and slightly different shape) ones instead. They are still fairly close, have really improved the overall look of the car, and hopefully will help in the chase for 10ths at the track.









I modified the mounts quite a bit to get a flush fit like original by removing about 10mm from the base, and was successful to the degree that I could even use the original rubber mounts.
The exercise saved me 2kg from the upper half of the car. Not huge but decent. I am looking at some possible changes to the car in the next few months with a view towards a little more 'serious' track work.
We'll see.

綺麗に付けるようになるまでちょっと形を変えなくっていけなかったのです。時間かかりましたが、満足です
かなり軽くて、全部で2kgぐらい違います。
来年もちょっと真剣にサーキットで走ると思っていますので、それに向けてこれから少しずつ準備をすると思います。

First things first though, I now have the horrible job of removing the wind deflectors from the top of the doors.....
