So long as the car goes and stops it is ready for a track day ;)

I used to the exactly the same. I wasn't until I had the track car that I started doing things for myself.

I was thinking about the 4WS to 2WS conversion.... Is it possible (and easy) to remove the wiring that goes to the rear wheels (and front wheels, as I assume it also connects to front wheels) ? Reason I am asking is that I would want to sel lteh 4WS ECU once it's removed, so having a wiring loom to go with it would be beneficial.

Anything is possible.
I can't recall the set up exactly. In essence there would be 2 looms - one coming in with the inputs (ABS and front steering angle sensors on the rack/column, power and ground) and a second loom taking the outputs to the rear rack. However, I think they might all combine inside one bit of copex near the ECU, for at least a short distance.

Got my wheels back from refurb and powder coating today. They used to be silver with small signs of damage. Now they all look brand new and are anthracite in colour

I'm getting the Yokohama tyres I bought on LG put on the wheels on Saturday, and the on the wheels go on the car :-)

Also decided to get her windows tinted tomorrow :-)

'New' wheels and tyres on, and yesterday got the windows tinted as well. 75% tint on rear and 25% tint on front doors

I also got all the interior roof trim out, in preparation for the moonroof conversion, which I'm hoping I can get by end of next week. I definitely want to get it done before Japfest :-) :D
