Car Plans 2015
 

So any ideas of what you might do to the car?

For me it will mainly paintwork and getting rid of dents. Unless I come into some decent money then that will be it other than general maintenance.

Front end re-spray to get rid of the stone chips and then selling :(
You say that now Tim - let's wait and see! ;)

Sell it unfortunately.

I think this might be the year mine goes too.

I'll have had it four years in February and I reckon it might be time to try something else... V8 based hopefully. :D

We'll still have Mrs Stig's Impreza though...!

Drive and enjoy it.... Might do some of the sprint rounds

Enjyoung mine as much as ever,and enjoying having the new sti in the family

Find and buy another Impreza and get some much needed enjoyment out of it

Nothing at all :-)

Do a wrc theme for the bug, (no stickers!!)
Not sure how far to go but lots if ideas in my head

Struggling to find wrc mirrors for less than £220 atm

Order a set of gold revolution milleniums in a few weeks time .

Hopefully not too much to do this year on the car, its cost me enough lately!

Only possible plan might be a second set of wheels and some track rubber :)

Pass the MOT, and replace disks.

Then refit & relocate oil cooler, tidy up the engine bay, refurbish wheels, and sort out suspension (MOT advisory on springs so either replace with new BC springs and possible shock rebuild or go for Bilstein B6 shocks and H & R springs)

If funds allow, new turbo.

Sell it as don't get used

Bug - Been a little unloved lately, so new exhaust, VF35, pinks/hawkblues, new rear suspension, general tidy up.

V1 - Car park dinks, ecu swap.

Landy - 200TDI engine

R1NGO - Actually do something this year.

Try and keep it and get it to Spa !

^^

What CJ said ;)

Good to hear after you were considering breaking it.

Starting to miss it now :getmecoat:

Buy it back and come to The Ring... :doubleup:

Then sell it back !!! :lol:

Lol it's probably done about 25 miles since I had it back so it's all ready when you want it back

Has anyone heard of McRae 2121 revolution wheels .

why dont you two have shared custody:ok:

Not much planned for mine.
Biggest mod will hopefully be a garage to keep it in!

On my wish list is,
Get Liz back on the road, serviced and mot'd ;-)
Front, side skirts and rear bumper sprayed on the Wagon.
Front brakes refurbished and wheels on the Wagon painted.
Front end refresh on the blob and sort an annoying windscreen chip courtesy of last year's ring trip oh and drive it more than once a year:drive: :-D

Yes drive everyday that's what they want :drive::drive::drive:

LOL, if my extension was done I'd be tempted but from March i'll have no garage for a while, or driveway come to think of it as it'll be covered in skips.

HA HA. Don't think my life would be worth living until I get the house finished. And besides, the next one will be black with the odd orange sticker 8-) :lol:

Thats ok can come with free garage storage whilst the extension is being built with 24hr access for you when you want to come and use it as i wont be using it.:five:,the garage that is

You could always rent it lucky:rofl::rofl:

Either:

Keep it and try and get done what I've wanted to for the past two years or Mot it and sell it. 50/50 at the moment.

RUST!!!!!!

Keep it, if it aint broke don't fix it....:ok:

Brake discs to fit
Brake pads to fit
Brake fluid change to do
Full whiteline suspension bushes / arbs/ control arms/ etc
Sports decat
Through exhaust sections
Remap
Re spray roof/ bonnet/ skirts/ driver door
Under seal treatment
4x new tyres
Wheels refurbished
All my Samco hoses to fit
Braided brake lines to fit
4x wheel bearings to fit

Then I might make the ring 2016!!!!

Nice I like it....

But that is a list for Wagon Si and Jo to do 36 hours before he leaves for the Ring :lol:

Ha ha ha!

Well they can always come help me do mine 72hrs before ring trip thus still leaving them 36hrs to do theirs :ok:

I have all the gear and no idea! Pmsl

No going to have a relaxed year this year, no more last minute Ring preperations.

Well at least we now have that in writing!!:rofl::whistle:

lol

Have a small list of things I have planned, most of them to coincide with my first trip to the ring!

Cambelt and tensioners etc.

Possibly clutch as not sure how long the current one has been in the car, feels good though!

New front pads suitable for the Ring, any ideas on the best of both worlds (road & track) people...?

Rear anti roll bar and drop links

Possibly front anti roll bar and drop links

Re-spray and fit the front bumper currently in the way in the garage at my parents!

Fit the front splitter 'Santa' got me for Christmas

Would like a decent head unit however budget and the performance parts come first!

Minor service, keep it clean, tidy up body/wheels...

And that should be about it, although I want to fit some coilovers too as my biggest desire, question is do I murder the credit card or not :-o

front pads for Ring. Performance Friction Z rated i would say and change the brake fluid, I use ATE Super Blue or something.

:agreed:

I am currently running Motul Racing Brake Fluid 600 factory line / DOT 4

Ive had no brake fade at all but there again I dont go very fast.:ok:

Just had a look at some of those Si, seem like a good choice. I have spoken to E too and he has suggested the same pad, will look in to fluids also.

Forgot to mention braided brake lines on my list too...:grin:

Alyn at http://asperformance.com/ can supply you all you need..

I didn't like the pf's compared to ferrodo ds2500 for day to day use. But you do pay more for the ferrodo.

Alyn supplied me performance friction pads for Xmas and motul 5.1 fluid too - great guy - get all my bits from him. Will be calling him Monday for whiteline bits :ok:

trouble with ds2500 you have to make sure you wash your wheels all the time as the pad dust is corrosive, or atleast when i used to use them years ago.

you are right but they work well with my alcons

already have my quote for the paint on the car. roof, new fog covers and bonnet to get some attention

Another Ds2500 fan here!

Liked the ds2500's too . But mintex 4r's are awesome :)
