pop the brembodges on at some point and change the master cylinder to help with the already slightly spongy pedal feel.

Fix the leak on the windscreen - though have to be around for that to happen!

Nag the guy to finally build me the magic electronics to help me with the pressure as it has been 12 months since he started it!

or detune the car so i can use full throttle again... probably only needs a minor reduction of boost and slight tweak to the fuelling to make it 'safe' again.. but it would be a real shame if i have to do so!

think that is all the major stuff i got planned for 2013 on the car

Tax and MOT it.

May change the lighting of the center console but that's it.

Let Smokey do whatever he plans to do with the MKII and help whenever needed.

Get the track car back up and running and (again) assist when needed.

Plans for the ZS are limited in 2013 - needs some paintwork and general tidying and it'll be kept in service as the main transport.

More of the modding side is going to be related to my other cars - I've designed a gas pipe manifold to fit a GT28R onto my Ph1 306 XSi Turbo so I can do away with the aweful t2 OEM turbo that whacks the brake servo when you touch the throttle. Got all the pipe sections, just need to have the manifold baseplate cut out on a waterjet (might have a few made just for future /sale) and weld it together.

Once thats finished i'll be pulling the Xr4x4 out of the garage - needs a D/S front floorpan.....D/S wing.....full respray.....and a new Bi-metal head gasket (have to be custom made by Ferriday Engineering due to the overbore on the 3.2 - £165 per bank )

And the first show is in march......
