Hello people! Still at Uni so no progress to report however I have made a flashy new signature and avatar (Check them out over there and down below :dance: ). On a car related note I have come up with some plans to do once term finishes...
1. Install a red oil catch tank with red silicon pipes. Replace a few other pipes with red silicon too.
2. Do a general service and redo the induction kit. So new filter, new pipes if needed and red silicon joint.
3. Clean the engine bay lots and get some more stickers under the bonnet.
4. Buy and install a gti6 intake manifold.
5. Paint the black bits of the car ford sea grey. So thats mirror blacks etc. And Ill do the upper strut brace too!
6. Ive already got a gti6 exhaust manifold so Ill need to buy heat wrap and get hold of a full gti6 exhaust system from somewhere and fit it.
7. Have a play with the morettes and if I like them fit them and replace the passenger side lens with a cold air feed.
8. Replace the black vinyl on the doors as its peeling in places.
9. Braided Brake Lines
10. Install Cloud 9 Sound Deadening behind door cards, under boot lining and in the rear arches.
11. Cut open the standard intake scoop.
12. Get new top mounts for the front suspension as two of the bolts are spinning with no grip
hock:
Also Ive got to get round to fitting the tow bar. Ive done the electrics so its just the bar itself that has got to go on. Itll be easier with the exhaust and spare wheel out so Ill mount the exhaust properly and ditch the spare wheel whilst im at home. Hopefully the service will mean I get back those 4 horses I seem to have lost on the Rolling Road Day :?
In the end Id like to end up with some bigger brakes maybe. NiallHarper is annoying me with the amount of progress happening with his car! lol I really cant wait for this term to finish and start working on the car. Last year I went to FCS and a few local club meets and thoroughly enjoyed it (even if my 1.4 vomited oil everywhere :nope: ) so this year I am looking to go to all the shows and local meets I can! I dont know many people when I am at these places so if you see my car or me just come up and say 'Hi Sam im blah blah blah off the forum and my real name is... ' Thatd mean the world to me if people did that
I realise that the above arent major things but this is due to saving up for the speed boat, but it should be enough to keep me occupied and to add a bit of quality to the car.
