Track prep:

Oil Change
Brake Fluid Change
New Pads (PBS i was going to go for) + maybe disc - see what they look like in the morning
Braided Lines ordered

None of which I will do myself.

I have some 888's to go on which should be good enough on stock rims.

Car was sat for a while - idle control valve is screwed. Revs between 1k and 2.5k on its own. I can either:

a) look like I'm up for some and leave it running at lights
b) introduce a 'Start Stop' feature which is manually operated

Flitting be between the two.

Very embarrassing when doing the school run.

Apparently the EP3s don't like being sat - carb cleaner in the inlet should sort it - something like that (I'm spectacularly rubbish with mechanicals)


I'd not driven it in a couple of months

+ VETC - really screams - when you look down at the speedo it really is quite quick
- Steering - not mega bad but there is just something about it which requires 5% more initial input to get the wheel to turn - its back on stock wheels. I think thats just the electric steering rack. When you get over 'inertia' its fine.

Can't wait to get it on track - may have to take some sound deading stuff to get through the noise test.

It really is uncluttered simplicity.
