Went and attended a reunion. Happens to be on the day I show up, the Toyota Supra MK3 that I did a previous writeup about happened to be nearby.
I had someone from the adjacent block shouting at me. It likely was directed at me seeing I heard something "car", but otherwise don't know what the subject matter was. Above were two people with one with their phone out, I'm not sure what was the occasion.
Returned later to check in case for any potential vandalism because I genuinely didn't know what to expect with that abovementioned encounter, but I found a cat instead.
Nothing happened so it is what it is. I did have to wipe some bird toppings off after returning, didn't get lucky especially as I was parking directly under a tree.
Shopping list wise:
This applies for only one side, so I'll have to double the total amount.
Additionally, I likely will need to address engine mounts as well, as it knocks the whole car, especially when I let off the throttle suddenly in lower gears. Do correct me if this is normal, but it is both feeling and sounding like a knock, which is definitely not very good.
Last thing, a GPS-based speed reader. Rewiring of the Elan can and will likely cost a lot in labor and etc, so rather than spending that, I think for now, picking a more aftermarket route via a speed reader will be a better route. My speedometer currently reads 5-10km/h above the actual speed depending on how fast I already am going, which is solved via apps like Waze or Maps, but me needing to peer to the left and check speed often isn't necessarily safe or as convenient if my speedometer was functioning correctly.
