Just a thorough cleaning and going to take out the resonator thing in the inner wing of the car to see if I can get some more recirc dump valve noise.

Picking my 07 plate hawkeye STi up from Richmond and then entering scooby ownership!!!

Fitting my Kenwood DDX-7029 on the sunday and then giving it a good detail even though it has just been done.

Booking in to get a Revolution front splitter and then I'm on the hunt for some decent 18" alloys.

Still need to hear the Blitz Nur Spec R before I decide to buy.
