The 4i needs a visit to the legend Moan of Turbosystems for a mapping session.


The 3dr needs the original wheels refitting.


No shows booked yet as I am moving from Kent to Somerset in April. Will have plenty to do in the house but I have a very nice 4 car garage with a workshop space at the back to play in.

God knows what else but safe to say progress will be slow. I bought the wheels months ago and they haven't been anywhere near the car yet. If they don't clear my brakes I'll be fucking gutted

 

Take the rs out of the garage and mot it ))

 

Mot and tax... Easy enough
Once retrimmed interior is done, swap it all over...
Fit new manifold and book it in for mapping...
