It most definitely has the opposite effect of Zzzz's this thing.. Long days at work and coming home to work on it till way to late and the few hours sleep to start all over again!
Anywho big plans for this beast.. Currently on 73k miles and unfortunately showing it sooo first things first:::
It's currently having a full full service.. Look after it and it will look after you (wallet) and all that jazz!
Oil and filter change
Gearbox oil
Diff oil
Coolant
Clutch fluid
Brake fluid and bleed
Removed air filter - cleaned and resprayed
Iridium spark plugs
Onto more exciting things:: To do and already done!
Exterior:
Replacing all spacers with new 20mm and spraying to gloss black
Replacing the 19" deep dish alloys (that will be for sale) with some 19/20" Nessen forged deep dish - Chrome dish/gloss black spokes
The Tunnel stay is rusted to hell to that's being replaced with an ultra racing 4 point strut brace (hopefully also to stop the exhaust sitting on it)
Replaced exhaust system with Test pipes, Cobra Y pipe and Crapspeed K1 (which really is a shockingly bad fit but a story for another day) a combination for the loudest exhaust system I've ever heard. Going to going to be deaf very soon
Standard suspension is being replaced with some BC Racing BR coilovers I got off a very nice chap in Andover that had a "Stance Zedd" in the best colour - Azure blue!... And stepping stone to a air ride setup!
Eibach camber kit (front and rear) to compliment the above
White line droplinks (front and rear) to handle the extra strain
.... Thoughts? Either the replace the front bumper with AMS GT so it runs with the curves over the rest of the wide arch kit or get the DAMD front bumper fixed?
.. Which leads onto the rear bumper, leave as is or replace with AMS GT rear bumper? :/
Engine:
Upgrade standard plenum to cosworth
Replace drive cogs with lightened aluminium version
Ally Racing rad
Supercharger or turbo maybe.. Although for only 400bhp not sure if it's worth the money as an R8 V10 is on the cards in the coming months anyway as in as well as?!
Interior:
Cream leather seats need a good seeing to so getting them fixed due to bolster wear
Snap off steering wheel (security more than anything)
Replace current alarm with whatever is best on the market plus a tracker
Replace double din kenwood with something that..... Works as already upgraded speakers with Alpine components, DLS a3 and DLS a6 amps (neatly situated in the locked glovebox) a RE SX 10 sub and made custom box that fits under the strut brace in the boot
Replace floor matts made for a fiesta (possibly) with actual genuine floor mats made for the car so that they..... Fit
And a partridge in a pear tree!
Thoughts, opinions and whatnot all appreciated í ½í¸Š
