Loads I want to do, but realistically >
Get exhasut downpipe sorted with a flexi.
Get a good wash and polish on the go.
Hope it doesn't blow up.
Would love to get some tuning in too, in proper need of setting up since the rebuild.

And now add to that new calipers both sides as it turns out that at least half the pistons on the nearside are seized, one can't be budged and I've been told if the nearside is like that then the drivers is probably not far behind so might as well replace both.
Anything else goes wrong and I'm gonna have to sell my track time.

How about just reduce your alcohol budget so you'll be sober enough to use the tracktime?
