your plans for next year

just wondered what your plans were for your cars next year?
 
I know theres quite a few of you's now turning your cars into more track orientated vehicles as you don't get the best use from the roads anymore, theres also a few going back to basics and putting back to original stock condition
 
so thought I would do a little pole to see whos planning what seeing as im a nosey booger
 
 
im aiming for big power with the rasheen but top secret build is this, will still be road legal though
pulsar wise ive nearly finished clares new car which should be a good all rounder although mainly fast road use with a bit of bling added lol

Just a nice road car for me... Not to blingy bling tho  

What have you done with clares ? ..... plans for mine is mostly get the fooker on the road ...spray it and get it running  oh and make myself a full 3 inch exhaust  

Well mine will look as standard as pos even the brakes all be it with new discs and carbotech pads, Even running on standard 14" original wheels.

It will be pushing as much power as I can get through my new top mount and standard air box which is being modified to accept a Z32 maf , I will be running a quiafe box fully nismo mounts but you will look at it and think it's a standard car just a lot nicer and cleaner.

Will have ceramic coated standard ported exhaust manifold/3" elbow and heat shields, All the under body components are being powder coated and the under side stripped and painted/stone chip/wax you get the picture.

Most important thing to me is to someone that didn't know better they'd think it was standard.

Would like to do a proper track day next year that's my aim, not sure what the plans are for the R though...

Get rally style R on road for le mans trip plus track day at Loton park

Take black R off road and sort out body work (god knows how its still holding together)  

Paint bonnet/tailgate and fit new spoiler to 300 plus change cambelt and give her a good service ready for summer

If things dont pick up with the gtir scene. Im afraid im selling up and going for a hawk eye scoob. Bigger market and makes more sense for me business wise

Belt?

Pretty sure they have a belt instead of a chain .

yeah 300zx is a cambelt not timing chain, dont think its ever had one and shes up to 90k  

Sorry missed the 300 thought it could be named  project 300 or something lol

More track days for me. Want to do Caldwell next year & spa but need to build a new engine first

Things dont pick up with the gtir scene ?

dont worry mate

Compared to other car scenes the gtir is dead.as a business choice might be me worth getting something that owners spend money on. 

For example if i build a mould for a bonnet. Ill be lucky if i sell 5. Now if that was for a evo or scooby at the right price i could sell 5x more. I do love the gtir but how many of you are gonna chop your boot floor out to replace it with a carbon floor. Probs just me

Ok, so I only had the option to vote for one plan, but as I have two GTiRs I have majorly different plans for them:

My UK Sunny GTIR is 99.9% standard. The only non-standard parts are the Team Dynamics wheels, clear side repeaters and the short shifter that are currently fitted. Thankfully (due to Bob) I've obtained the parts I need to make the car totally standard. So my plans for this is to get the OE alloys reconditioned, removed the annoying-as-hell short shifter, and replace the clear side repeaters with some nice orange ones.

My Japanese Pulsar GTiR will enter the final stages of track modification. I will be fitting my custom designed fuel system (including a Facet lifter pump feeding a 5 litre baffled swirl pot, 2 Bosch 044 fuel pumps feeding fuel through AN12 lines to a JGY fuel rail, and returning through a Fuelab electronic FPR). I may even include a fuel cooler if I can fabricate the necessary ducting for air flow. This will all need wired up to my Racepak digital dash, and I will be finishing my personally designed dash with includes a huge array of gauges (fuel temp, 3 x water temp, charge temp, exhaust temp, to name just a few LOL) along with my electronics project (an FIA-spec battery cutoff with external kill switches) and USB ports for live data logging and ECU reprogramming. My worry is that I become too much of a perfectionist and the "final stages" will drag on for years.......... Still, even if it does I'll always have my Sunny to drive  

Glad to see others have a wide variety of plans!
Good poll Bob,
Dave

can you build a whole GTIR shell out of fibreglass rust free haha

Its funny you say that as i have just took moulds of my rear archto make outvof kevlar or twintex. Lol thats a problem spot.

If only the r shell was FB it would be well quick then, prob under 1000kg

My plans are once my baby born on New Year's take off my 3" exhaust and replace it with my 3.5" that I'm finishing off .. more head work to rise the limiter to 9000 change clutch to a twin plate helix is slipping upping the boost to 2 bar and hopefully break my rr day bhp record  

3.5   you would be better off welding some metal dustbins together ....what was your rr record ?

What turbo are you running at 2 bar? And what is your RR BHP record?  

I'd love to see a GTiR running 2 bar on a 3076 or bigger............  

Cheers,
Dave

i know a few people who are into golfs and vw's and some into vauxhalls.yes the gtir scene maybe dying but compared to other car scenes we do spend money i know some making after markets parts for golfs and people will not pay anything for them seems to be just those into jap cars who are willing to spend decent money on parts

i might get around to replacing my clutch.if i do,i might then get around to fitting a wide arch body kit i bought last year

gonna be stripping the underside of mine and repainting along with getting subframe and all other metal parts poweder coated and new bushings everywhere, hopefully get the rear arches sorted before respraying the whole car, get my big brembos fitted, boost controller and new defi gauges, possibly new bucket seats and a ton of standard parts to replace broken and missing bits on car just now

might go for some more power but means ill have to take the box off and do clutch and flywheel again

also want to do prescott hill climb at some point
