Plans for 2013

[petet16]

The pipes are still available Pete, about £50 each I think, a lot of care is needed removing the old ones to not crack the alloy castings on the pump and cooler.

I've just checked my euro millions ticket for christmas day and I've won so I shall risk it and run down to Worthing in it, only 20 miles and if it goes then I've got RAC recovery and if anything breaks while being dismantled it's not my problem.

Roll on a year and it's time to review 2013.

The F - Got the suspension pumped and an MOT pass, fitted some decent tyres (Toyo T1r's), did FRL, replaced the soft top, got the audio controls working, rough fitted the cruise control, fitted the K&N Apollo, took her to Europe for a week (2.5k miles through France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium and France), water pump sprung a leak on the ferry on the way back, changed that eventually, drove to the beach for the day and then work the following day and the suspension died, she's been on axle stands since September

The Yellow ZS is well documented else where but currently sits waiting a new battery and an MOT so I can really push selling her.

The black ZS has her own thread.

The blue ZR has gained some blue Alcantara seats.

The T16 maestro hasn't moved.

TBH my heart hasn't been in it this year, mostly due to personal, domestic and work pressures but I have built myself a workshop so can at least get my head around my parts and get parts out of the house and garden.

Check back on your posts and see how you've done.

Don't think I had any plans for the car as it's pretty much where I want it.it's now more keeping it there suppose next year is a decent exhaust setup and new good quality boots for the car and just keeping it clean,maybe some attention to the clutch hydraulics.

Well my plans for 2013 were to fit the following.

Fit Skunk2 rear lca's - Never happened, sold on after a change of mind
Poly bush the arb's front and rear - Done
Heated front screen - Done
Rear brake re furb - Done
De rust and protect front jacking points - Done.

Some other bits which were unplanned but got done anyway, Better rear bumper and Clio diffuser.

Some re wiring of the engine bay loom, uprated alternator, alloy cam covers.

The 180 cam belts, err, maybe this year lol.

Alpine BT head unit
Respray

Well - I did the induction, bought but then sold on a decat, bought but didn't fit the stripes (still in the shed and on the "maybe" list for 2014), got a Kenwood instead of an Alpine and although I didn't repray the whole car, I rectified a lot of the paint ...... before I broke the car ("Red") as it was rotten !

So now I've got the Silver Mk2. Done plenty already and to be honest, my list is more of a "maybe" rather than a proper "to do" list.

I have actual plans for a steering wheel - watch this space...
I've got a quote for the belts but can't see it to be honest - £530. Think it'd be close to that to get it T16'd after leaving my good V6 engine with the garage that would get the work contract.
The stripes may go on.
My calipers are getting painted in January.
Slight bumper sag still needs doing.
I've got some lights to fit to the front although I'm now thinking more like getting a good compound and cleaning the ones that are fitted.

And then the big question - will I actually still have it December 2014 ....

[petet16]

Going on past experience Dan, I'm gonna say a cautious maybe, or then again........lol

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

well we abandoned the attempt to manage the pressure, and I have not used full throttle...

Did finally get the brembodge setup fit - after some adjustements.

bought and fitted some suspension that was too good an opportunity to pass up, and I think that is currently it right now...

air con still doesn't work though, as something else broke again this year....

Well I taxed and MOT'd it so did part of my plans. Didn't expect I'd sell it though!
