Yesterday I got the FM Butterfly Brace installed! the moment I put it into gear and crawled, I clearly felt the difference. Feels so much tighter and just.. tighter
the suspension does more work and the chassis feels a lot more like a unit and car felt so young
So what have you recently done to your 5?

Installed a mohair soft top last weekend - looks sweet
I have the following parts sitting in boxes ready to install... just no time!
Toyota COPS;
Wilwood front brakes;
Carbing strut braces (front and rear);
FM Butterfly brace;
Boss Frog Frog Arms;
Reinstall OEM rear sway bar;
(probably other things that I am forgetting).
With uni, racing and work, the little white beast does not get enough attention...

Speaking of which, my right indicator often stops flashing, then flashes again, or suddenly starts to tick extremely fast. Would that be a fuse problem?

No, probably a bad earth. Check your wiring connection to the body.
