Just an update on a few jobs on my 96 Turbo R.

Ths years planned work was to replace the front springs as she was sitting a bit low at the front. Went for the uprated ones, and didn't expect to notice much difference in handling. Well what a diference! Car now turns in much better when making "progress" and feels much more responsive. If your car is sagging at the front, do it!.

Had interior light and central locking issues which turned out to be all related to the ECU under the dash. Needed a reconditioned ECU and now have proper central locking from the fob which I never had previously.

Front spoiler also repaied and painted with £60 trim bit fitted!

I am looking at moving my Turbo R on this year to allow funds for other projects.

I'll post some pics and details for anyone interested.
