2010 car modifications, what you got planned??

[Willie]

Thought I'd start a thread to see what peoples plans were for 2010.

This might help people get together and get Group Buys or discounts too.

Perhaps get some ideas also.

For me:

Fit O2M Wavetrack ATB LSD into reconditioned gear box
Keep other one as back up for bits etc
Green cotton Dual cone filter with 45 degree alloy elbow and joiner.
Get a 2nd hand head light to rip its guts out for track based induction intake system
Move battery inside car to make space for the above.
Fit spare Brembo calliper and redress leaking one for a spare/stand by.
Fit braided lines to front and bleed through new RBF600 fluid.
Fit INA catch can
Rip out/replace PVC system (not too sure which yet).
Rip out dash board and replace as little as possible
Buy and fit harnesses
Buy and fit Roll cage
Custom remap (finally after 6 1/2 year of running OEM map)
Buy and fit Polycarb windows.
Buy and fit Neuspeed rear ARB redress kit
Buy and fit Forge boost and brake vaccum hoses
more lightening where ever possible

It's gonna be a busy start to the year

1: new exhaust system.
2: Induction kit not sure what type yet
3: Down to P-Torque for remap.

Plus anything else i can think of before April when the sprints start

 

[Willie]

Sounds good, looking forward to seeing how you get on this year

I'm hoping to do all of the following this year to complete my goal of going stage 2:

Find this damn boost leak first!
Weitec coilovers
HIDs
20mm spacers
Modify heatshield to fit around strut brace
Fit FMIC
Fit TB exhaust
Fit 4bar fpr
Will probably need some new tyres
Go stage 2
And a good detail for show season!

Then I will have no money left

I've got a 60,000 mile service which includes cam belt and water pump, that looks like rushing me around the £500 mark. Then, as Dermot says in no particular order I'd like, a rear strut-brace, a Forge FMIC, front and rear ARBs and shocks and springs as I've decided against coilovers.

 

[jamiebennett81]

Interesting insight. Thought I was worrying about what I have got left to do with mine, but my list is nothing in comparison to you guys

Sounds like an expensive year for you too, lolHope you've got an undrestanding missus or your single
The above mods will make a big difference

Your car will fell great after this and you'll wonder why you didn't do it all sooner

You've done so much all at one time so your list will always be smaller.
Just goes to show you really how close you are to perfection, even though at times it perhaps doesn't feel like it.

his is true. I don't know if anyone else is as sad as me but I wrote at the middle of last year a word document, listing everything that needed doing lol to make sure it all gets done

my main things are this year:

stg3 machine polish (jonjay)
clean engine bay (DK)
carbon bits
tidy up front bumper
service
MAF & log
smooth and carbon fog light surrounds
remove foglights
new stickers design

I think that's it for now (I am sure there is more on my list but that's on my PC at home)
carbon bonnet (pending money lol)

 

[wild willy]

I like making lists especially about my car.

Uprated rods
Replace timing belt
High flow k04 manifold when available (you need this too Willie)
Custom remap possibly
Dampers and spring combo - 30mm drop so 9mm drop on LCR
THS engine mount set
Decat for my blueflame turbo back
cold air enclosure for my jetex cone- to prevent performance loss from heat soak
Arbs front and rear
S3 strut brace
DS2500 brake pads

 

[Gunnie]

Also looking for a set of Starfish wheels and most prob do something with suspension and springs all before April
