Default What have you got planed for your car in "09" ?

Was thinking last night about stuff I need to get done to the car in the new year.

So far the list is:

New Clutch
Get the MO's refurbed
4 New tyres
Fit the new big brakes (+ buy some brake pads)
Solid mount rear beam
Get the tanks, breathers etc powder coated black
Fit New cam cover
Finish the dash surround i have started and fit the gauges

What plans have you guys got?

Hmmm.

Paint in the new year when the better weather comes, just a freshen up.

Thennnnn, i want more power. Bigger turbo, exhaust, cooler, uprated clutch and a fresh remap to suit. Should give a nice 350+ lb/ft of torque.

A substantial amount of petrol. It doesn't need anything else to be the perfect car.

For the 3 door, either brake it or put a V8 in it I think, although I might leave that till 2010 now, and just use it for another year first.
