srobrien Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Not this month but my to do list for the future is: 1. Eibach springs 2. P3 3. Probably new tyres 4. Tax 5. Lip kit 6. Carbon bonnet and eyelids 7. Tints 8. Plenum spacer That will do for the moment. More browsing and dreaming thinking this will make my 4 years no claims come round quicker. What do you need 4 years NCB for? I have zero now after my claim and it's only gonna cost me £600 next year. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I'll pop mine up as well... 1. New discs all round 2. Get the stickers on for Le Mans! 3. Fit the rest of my Summit bracing 4. Plenum space & MREV2 plenum 5. Lowering springs 6. Some kind of chip, not sure of piggyback or full replacement yet 7. Full respray, pro detailing and a healthy dose of Armourfend 8. Engine swap if I keep the car long enough And hopefully in that order too! First three will be done very shortly, others may take a while longer but I'll get there eventually.

jerry3167 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Did my OIL CHANGE today, used Silkolene Pro-S 5W 40, The preferred choice! Added Magnetic sump plug and New Crush washer!! Feels so smooth and free revving now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 7. Full respray, pro detailing and a healthy dose of Armourfend Sounds cool bud, what colour you going with ? Ummm... Azure blue! I wasn't entirely sure on the colour at first, but it's really grown on me and I'd just like to get it perfect as it should be, and the only realistic way of doing that is a respray as the car is stonechipped to buggery I'd like to try something different, but unless I strip the car right back to a bare shell there'll always be a remnant of the old colour there, and as much as that shouldn't hurt the resale value I know it will, so I'm trying to be a little sensible as well.

Totally agree with staying with Azure.Just make sure it's not as thin or ripply as how Nissan applied it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
