Default What Mods/missions planned for 2017 ?

Mine are:
Take all bits off underneath like diff propshaft exhaust etc give it a good clean and treat with some billet hamber products and replace arb holders for whiteline ones
Arp induction kit needs dipping to match rest of carbon bits under bonnet
Plenty of claybarring and polishing etc
Try my best sourcing some 17"bbs alloys cheap to come away from the white ones
Maybe few more ***** to the collection would be nice

Anybody else?

I have some nice new 18" wheels coming for my hatch which should look good once fitted.

I am also in the process of fitting a rear diffuser to it as well as

rear light tints as well as tinted front lights.

Replace rear brake disc backing plates, clean up rear ARB, replace rear ARB mounts and brackets, clean up driveshafts and propshaft. Although no signs of any problems I am looking to replace pistons for forged ones and replace head gaskets and head bolts,

Not too much. Just a roll center correction kit, plus some sti alloy front wishbones and new poly bushes. And possibly a new clutch.
Definitely not a re-map.

I'd really like to give the underside some tlc and make it look a bit fresher. Got a load of superpro bushes, whiteline and hardrace kit to go on so would like to do it all at the same time. Keep saving for a nice forged 2.5 build lol

Barring any unexpected issues, I'll be picking up my new, to me, Spec C Type RA in the next few weeks.

To do:
Full service
A few choice engine mods before a remap
Depending on condition, I want to refresh everything underneath.
All the pink stuff cleaned up.
Wheel arches stripped and redone in white.

Cosmetic mods planned:
18" Revolution Millenniums in gold
Red rally armour mud flaps
Brakes refreshed and painted red
Recaro Speed or Profi seats (black but maybe red) or modified DC5 Recaros and Sabelt harness.

It's what I want (90s rally slag look ) so not everyone's cuppa and nothing that can't put the car back to standard in the future.


Oh, and make a clean spot in the garage so it has somewhere to sleep!

Repair some rust on the passenger side rear wheel arch, tidy up the previous repair on the driver side. Fit my water/meth injection and fuel swirl pot. Anything else I decide to do.
