Summer plans

[Chris]

What's everyone got planned for there cars over summer?

 

[Sean197]

My 8j speedlines will be powdercoated anthracite (currently white) in the next few weeks, then all going well the rebuilt Megane engine will be fitted in the last week of July. Also considering slightly shorter and stiffer rear springs for my B14s.

 

[chris1888-197]

Going to get the wheels on the 197 powder coated again and bolsters repaired and all brakes done and try and get the track car sorted.

Mot & service, fit non-res scorpion, new tyres, poly bush torque arm and remove upper engine mount, maybe fit gearbox mount! Track day at Clio fest

 

[Pav]

hmmmm..not a lot i can do to it anymore :lol:
hope some track time...

Ideally:
- rear windows tinted
- Hekos purchased and fitted
- Sprint spoiler purchased and fitted
- alloys powder coated
- Scorpion resonated cat back exhaust system purchased and fitted
- Powerflex engine mounts purchased and fitted
- full decontaminating and machine polishing of the paintwork
- Eibachs purchased and fitted
- if initial talks with Mega Carbon are successful and genuine carbon wing mirror covers become available - purchase and fit them
- drive the absolute hell out of it!

I suspect that a lot of this list may end up not getting competed though.

-I've just had Powerflex inserts fitted - upper torque, lower engine and gearbox.
-I'd love to get a Scorpion resonated cat-back also. On the lookout for one at a decent price at the moment. [MENTION=40637]Beany-08gt[/MENTION] I might be cheeky and ask for a listen of your non-res when you get it fitted, to see what that's like as another option
-The long-awaited wheel refurb...
-Paint the rusty brake hubs black...starting tomorrow

 

[Beany]

Yeah @jimmyd81 It'll be a couple of weeks yet before it goes on but I'll pop down / take you for a spin when it's all done

Decision between scorpion non-resonated, resonated or just silencer delete and then fit
Cup spoiler bought and fit
General service (oil, oil filter, gearbox oil, air filter, spark plugs)
A/C recharge (if its just empty :thumbdown

why not put the new tyres on the front?

 

[Greg0986]

Fronts have got brand new F1AS3's, I just want them all round Rears still have a little life left in them. A bit scary going around a corner and losing the rear end

 

[Pav]

what's yours Chris??

Your better tyres should always go on the rear on of a fwd car. I know it sounds backwards but that is the commonly accepted knowledge.

Sorry to sidetrack the thread.

[Sideshowfred]

Fixed back bucket seat and harness which i'm currently trying to sort out. Some track day tyres for the two that i've got coming up (Bedford evening in June and Rockingham full day in July) and a roadtrip around Scotland in early September, if that still counts as summer!
