Plans for 2014

As we had one for last year I thought I'd start a new one for 2014.

I only have a micro list at the moment.

The exhaust fabricated to suit the Clio diffuser.

180 belts - carried over from last year.

I expect a few other things might end up on the list in time.

Definates.
  • New steering wheel
  • Paint the brake calipers - xpower decals
  • Change/clean the headlights
  • Sort the exhaust out - flexi by the cat is on it's way out and was an advisory at the last MOT

Maybe.
  • Belts
  • Keep it until 2015 ! ....

get the air con sorted.
pick up the ZS from Matt
get the turbo swapped for a VNT unit + new downpipe to suit
change injectors to suit new turbo
get it remapped (again)
probably change springs for progressive ones

Possible
get custom exhuast manifold to suit new turbo
try and get some money back from the stage 2 hybrid and 'wingy' downpipe once new ones are fitted.

then get some miles on the car and maybe go on some track days at the end of summer... but that all depends on the turbo and the rate we can get all that sorted.
