Seems to be one of those 'because we could' mods, but at least you tried and have them fitted anyway

Yes, I agree - no real good done but no harm either (thankfully 🥴).

So that’s it for current mods, I’ve now fitted all the bits I have.

Uprating the turbo is an option but I have a number of potential concerns. The first relates to engine longevity and also the clutch. Both of these are unknowns at present and I’m reluctant to be a test pilot. Almost more of a concern, for me anyway, is how the driveability of he car will be altered. Presumably there will be more turbo lag. Ideally I would get a drive of the Courtenay Sport car but, whilst I’m sure they would let me, they are a blooming long way from me and a bit far just for a test drive.

I love that kind.

Well, when I got this car and because I was able to buy it outright, I promised myself I was going to try out all the things I never had before on a car. I’ve really enjoyed all the DIY mechanic work with my mate Dave and both of us have gained loads of experience and confidence.
To be honest, I really did this mod just because it was there and I could and I didn’t expect a great deal from it. What did surprise me was how Powerflex breeze over the fitting of them and hugely understate the difficulty of getting the big bush out. If you don’t use a small diameter something to push on the inside there is a real danger you will break the plastic ring at the gear change.

Aid in fitment/videos/instructions has been a massive deciding factor in my mods as a novice 'mechanic', having to guess how they want them fitted or go by blurry photos still not from the company themselves is a turn off.

I now realise that many instructions include unnecessary steps, or skim over essential and/or difficult parts - often both.
 
I have done a little to the car today. Ages ago I made some N stickers for the front wings (fenders) but for a while I’ve been thinking they were placed a touch too forward and could also be a little bigger. I still have the original file I drew but decided it could be improved so ended up drawing it all over again from scratch 🤣.

This is what the looked like before - quite forward of the mirrors:

And this is what they look like now, closer to the door and a little larger:
