Surgeon said given the level of soft tissue damage 90-100 degree clockwise rotation around the ankle and spiral fracture oft he fib, that I should aim to be back to light jogging around the 12mth mark.... Showed him!

He said it will never quite be 100%.

Kate did hers when she was 12, a simpler break without as much soft tissue damage (the real issue) and hers still swells from time to time and can occasionally roll if she's not careful.

That said, I've already done some 2 and 3k jogs and from the moment the diastases screw was out in January (7screws and a plate remain) I've been on it and using it.

Then after talking to you guys, started squatting and DL lightly and slowly building it up. I'd like to get some half decent leg/back strength and be able to jog daily like I was and I'll be happy, I honestly think all that is achievable but that I might not be ever able to fully flat out sprint, rapid direction change sprint again sort of thing, a very brisk run in one direction seems fine but the stability isn't there for rapid direction changes yet.

Could always be worse. That's what I keep thinking about my shoulder to stay positive - someone, somewhere, has got it worse.

And when I need motivation or renewed appreciation for what I do have, I watch this:

Oh for sure man I know others have it worse, I still have my foot and it pretty much works, happy days for me.

I don't lack motivation or drive, I'm ahead of the curve the surgeon set, and even if it was a conservative one,. I'll take it as a win. There was never any chance that a busted foot was going to stop me exercising and doing what I enjoy.

Like eating 2 lunches today because that's just how I roll...

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
