i have had a big think about my car and wot to do next , i was thinking of goin straight to moddin it etc but i have got my sensable head on so i have decided to first go with getting my car up together instead of mods etc and re-maps.
list as i hope to do things.
tidy up and then get coilovers
then m.o.t time lol
-
i have looked into the history on my car and made a few phone calls etc and it had a full service about a month befor i got it so thats one thing off my list and also the cambelt and bits were done about 15K ago , so now i am ready to start with the mods etc.
iam in on both group buys when they start for the 5 piece boost hoses and the 007p vavle so they will be my next updates , but iam hopein to et somebody to do a broup buy on the coolant hoses also just for the looks lol.
