So far so good. Refuelled trice now getting 1:19.2 with A/C on and 130 km/h driving.

Checked brake shoes they are very good for its kms.

Redone rear shocks with Aygo ones (thicker) and had to grind the lower bolts off due rust.
Reinstalled with M12 bolts instead of M14 bolts as oem.

Waiting on Vogt lowering springs

Want to see which brand is better.

There is an annoying thing on the slider pen, I always remove it so it wont bind if this rubber fails:
