Start of next month my car (Hawk Spec C RA) is going in to a local garage to have the underneath stripped, powder coated and re-fit. Brakes are coming off for a refurb and not 100% on whether to change discs and pads at the same time. Although my RA has the OE dampers I'm removing them for Meister R GT1 coilovers.

What I'm not sure is what else to get. The guys doing the work will advise on things like bushing replacement (maybe worth getting a replacement kit anyway?) but I'm thinking about service items too. Not sure when the belt was last changed so maybe I should include a belt kit.

It has been suggested to get a catch can but I'm not sure whether to get a cheap can or go for a Air/Oil seperator.

Car isn't a daily.


Other goodies going in are Recaro SR5s freshly re-covered in red. Black 18" Speedline Corsa wheels (calipers are being re-painted in red) CAE Ultra-Shifter stick thingy.

 

plugs might well be worth doing, especially as they are a PITA. shifter bushes?

 

Oils, belts, bushes, tyres if old/worn, I'd also check and then contemplate a silicone hose kit if any are worn or show signs of possible failure. As you'll have half the bottom off already might as well do bushes tbh. Don't know your service schedule or history so maybe fuel filter/pump. While doing the cambelt it's generally advised to do oil/water pump at the same time and as mentioned spark plugs, but it really does depend on when it was all last done tbh
