GTR- Finish it! Needs managment, head porting, engine fitting, want nicer interior, and nicer brakes. Would like a sequential box etc, but cant afford it really.
SX- Just got a load of mental stuff for it engine wise, so fit all that and finish twincharging it. Want a rollcage. Big alloy rad. Proper fuel system. Decent harness. And just use it (hopefully in competition) till it blows up or i write it off. Once engines dead ill get some uprated internals and just carry on like that.
Cars such a crazy spec already I not got much else to do, just always feels like i do as ive spent so little money.
Volvo 360- Get the diff welded (tomorro maybe). Diff the shit out of it, like im already doing.

well had the car 3 months no bother 
1. so more boost i think
2. then a straight cut box ( the car is a 4x4 saff )
3. coil pack conversion
but for me to do all that i will need to win the lottery, so looks like it will be just number 3 for now
thats all the car needs

I have a completely standard Fiesta ST so anything would be a treat for it, would like to get it lowered and then hand it over to Chris Todd for some TLC once I've saved up

FRS get's a new exhaust.
Won't be doing anything to the 3d just yet as we're still not sure if we're going to keep it...
That's it. If you think your car is a bottomless money pit, try building a house

Had an expensive couple of months with brakes, ICE and ahem minor panel repair with clutch, springs and major servicing before that.
Plans for the new year include:
Wheels with road tyres and semi comps on the stock rims for track
Power FC
Couple of gauges
Repairing it when I break it!
Events:
DECA Motorkhana's
Dutton rally Victoria round (spectate NSW and QLD)
WRX club track days at Phillip Island, Calder Park, Sandown, Winton
NSW Road trip to Wakefield and Eastern Creek again hopefully
