I wonder how many people carried out their last years new year jobs :?

Mine was to use it more, it didnt happen sadly :(

Next year is to use it more and maybe look at an E34 M5.

1) Lots of detail things that TBH I really can't be ar53d to do because they don't keep the car off the road.
2) Get it dyno'd (before Christmas, hopefully) so that I have a baseline to work from when I.....
3) Upgrade to aftermarket engine management before too long.
4) Get a diff fitted that isn't noisy. :(

Other than that, I wish to be able to drive it as much as possible. :drive: It's about time it went a whole year without being off the road for weeks at a time. :roll:

Tbh, i,m not feeling either of my E30,s atm, plus i need to prioritise my commitments.
May just keep the Touring and look for a cheap and cheerful MX5.

The expensive bits that ive put off this year......

New set of hydraulic tappets.

Attention to minor bodywork dents in various places.

Repair of electric sunroof.

Fixing of instrument cluster wiring.



.....I dont even want to think of the costs. I think the trusty Corsa will have to be parted with and all my offshore bonus used up to achieve all this :(

...be beautiful when its done though :D

try to avoid all the other expenses that come along and use the spare cash that would otherwise be spent on the car. The list is long, and i've managed to cross off two things :cry: :D

My m50 conversion is in and running but in the year (once I get bored of it) I will be buying a turbo kit for it. Rather than stroking it out I just want an m50b25 turbo!! Make around 400bhp and I will be a happy man!
Coilovers, tech 1 spoiler, is front lip, angel eyes (outside 2 only) all 4 fronts smoked including indicators and fogs, smoked back lights and a set of stagard borbet A's. Going to do the faces gloss black and the lips alpine white 2 same as the car!
She should look kool as! 8)

Im unsure. I wouldn't mind a trip to the bodyshop, a set of bbs rs's, some s52 cams, remap, full stainless exhaust system, some wms brakes and some uprated anti roll bars. But then i do keep saying im not going to spend anymore money on it for a while!
