whats left to do before the 25th?

What has everyone got on their list before the 25th?

I have been quite busy getting the R somewere ready and its quite exiting to think its only a few days away!!

Just had my new alloys power coated so need to get the tyres on and fitted, got a new bracket for my oil cooler to go on the rocker cover which I need to swap over for my freshly painted one.

Also need to change my brake pads, give the car a service fit the oil cooler and wire up my auto guage oil temp and presure. Could then do with giving it a good polish and clean inside!

Iv just fitted my washer bottle in the boot and plumbed it all up, speakers in and a few bits done under the bonnet just a goood wash and lots of polishing and fit a new exhaust flexi on Saturday, really looking forward to seeing other gtir's and meet you guys

Thats a fare amount to do Tom lol
I have just washed mine haha
My wheels will be here thursday. But there's no way I will have them refurbed and have new rubber on them for Sunday.
So im gonna wah them and see if I can get away with putting them on as is
Inside is always clean so I will just wash and wax it again saturday evening.
I might raise the boost as its still sat at .8

Just an oil change and a wash, did some minor body work over the weekend, just to tidy up my super flimsy fibreglass front bumper. (only a quick job so no piss taking)
Oh and a few prayers that it makes it there OK, M25 traffic and all.

To much to list and no way it will all be done but it's looking good thanks to my bro putting some hours in his work is second to none

Stu I think your curse has rubbed of on me fitted my electronic boost controller and having the same bloody problem. Wont go above stock boost lol need to have another look at it but thought sll the pipework was ok although I hate vac lines as when you have a different intake etc etc it makes it harder to understand as its far from stock fitment!

Successfully got my rocker cover on and done, tried to fit the oil cooler but gave up in the end, gave it a good service and changed OS brake pads which was a good job as there was only a mill or so left and it fell apart when I took it off lol so no meat on it at all. Need to do the other side tonight and get them bedded in a bit

Someone has been busy lol
Weldone Tom

Just gotta clean off the bird shit and give it a wash - if I get time...

Just a polish. That's the best thing about owning a standard car , oh and the quiet while driving down the motorway lol

Just did the water pump / PAS, and alternator belt, trying to rule out any excuses for a breakdown, a wash Saturday morning to make it go faster, maybe?

Wait till you hear mine Darren, it's so quiet!!!

Pmsl I bet it is Pete. I can't wait. Don't get me wrong just dos I've gone down the stock road that's not always been my idea of what's best I've always loved fast load cars and have been tempted before to go down the 400 bop route myself but as there aren't many good stock cars left it would be sacralidge so that won't ever happen but I'm dieing to get a look round your beast. Be nice to hear it drive past me too, that's if it's got the power to get by me lol

I would love a stock original example, something to put away and appreciate, but I doubt it will happen, I agree with you, you'd be a fool to modify yours! Well as you know mine is massively underpowered atm, I reckon I will just crawl passed yours ! I'll be seeing you and Bill at the meeting spot at 7am yes? That's if Bill hasn't been arrested for throwing dog sh*t at some ones house

Well its a lovely rainy day here so no polishing before tomorrow unless it clears up later on (think it might)

Standard cars are nice but its also a lot more fun changing bit and making it better all round too and its quite fun buying parts for them too :-)

Mine will just have a wash today.
As Tom says. Its raining here.
And later im at a wedding so no chance of waxing it.
I also think standard is the way to go these days. Mine will look standard'ish on the outside and inside. But will be uprated underneath :-) the best of both worlds :-)
I need to sort the body and paint out first tho. So it will be a while before the project is complete :-)
Thats all part of the fun. Buying and doing :-)

Well cut the exhaust and fitted the new fleflex to find the clamps are absolute garbage so muted it home spent an hour running around to find 63mm clamps got home hacked car up and got absolutely soaked through putting the newv clamps on but all done just gotta get it on theramp to reposition the cclamps fit it's not leaking :-) might try clean her later but weathers not the best
