I did the same on my racer after Highlander complained that my tinted brake lights weren't bright enough. Fair call.
My car had the bulbs in place already so I just had to jump the wires across.
It's definitely better.
FYI I did exactly the same mod on my ADM S15 Silvia. Maybe all jap cars are like this?

He also complains that the text on road signs are too small to read.

Not true Dudeman. I just got sucked into a corner behind Admin thinking I was behind the last of the late brakers. Was mistakenly thinking "If he can brake this late so can I." Ran out of road and talent at the same time. Besides my SW20 never sees the road and if I start complaining about the "100" signs at Wakefield being too small, it might be time for a mobility scooter.

After 6 long months, I'll finally be allowed to drive again on Thursday!

Friday - Rob loses his license again 

I'm sure he'll display self control but spend more time at the track.

That's just nasty, Aaron.

I showed him how to stay within the speed limit in on the way to & from WP.  

I'm keen to see your car in person at the next meet Rob!
