What do you want to do to your car....
Discussion
Some interesting needs to be met on here. a bit more simple for me in the near future anyone ever fitted the alloy pedals, how do they perform?
Ive seen a Leven set going, adjustable brake and clutch length but the accelerator is bolted ontop of the rubber not on its own arm? Anybody got experience of this?
Cheers

I have a fairly long list of things I plan to do, but I work a good 100 hours a week at the moment, although soon hopefully that will change. If and when it does then my first thing to do will be to change the crank seal as that can be the only place where she is leaking oil from and she is not very drive able at the moment.
So within the next 2 years then say, I would like to body off. I will have the interior fully re trimmed, I think I am going to go for a white leather with red stitching detail, possibly a sightly custom dial layout as the wheel obscures my vision terribly. polished metal surround.
Sort out the leaking seals, drivers door is not so good at closing without a hefty pull. Arm rest into revised door card. custom pedal box, the existing pedals feel like jelly and i cant stand the long travel on the throttle.
Strengthen chassis, or possibly make new stiffer one. I'd like to convert to rose joints on the suspension. brake upgrade with floating discs, full detail on the engine bay. I really fancy a sequential box although would cost more than the rest of the car put together so that is probably the last thing I'll do if at all. on to the engine not least i'd like to bore out to 4.5 and lightly turbo. billet crank and some other nice internals, new ecu with various modern features. I may machine up some new heads to suit and run gdi, not 100% on my plans yet.
But a good project, I intend to keep indefinitely.

And buying new gearbox mounts as both are split and a new flywheel as the incorrectly fitted rivets on my paddle clutch have destroyed a spanking new raceproved ultralight in less than 800 miles.
Service with a smile from Power. Ordered my bits yesterday and all on my desk by 10.30 today. Nice shiny BLACK flywheel. That's a bit different, shame you can't see it once it's on. A bit of light spannering tonight and them put the box on at the weekend I think.More focused list in relative order.
1- Part interior retrim (roof lining, centre bolsters and door card s by dave the trimmer Oct)
2- fit alloy foot pedals
3- ceramic coat manifold
4- new heat shielding to engine bay and cables
5- electric power steering pump
6- SPA digital electric oil and water gauges
7- Big brake upgrade (AP Caliper with 343mm discs)

I believe No More Nails is the preferred substance for fixing headlinings.
Really ? The cloth looks quite thin. I haven't looked at it in detail, but if there is something between the roof and the cloth, it feels as though the cloth has separated from that, rather than the whole lot from the roof.It's only behind the roll-bar, maybe the rollbar cover would hold it back in place if it was back on.

I've thought about it but I'd like to do the job properly. Just quietly saving up the money and will use the power of sulk nearer the time. Having spent £10.5k getting the car mechanically perfect, I'd like it to look it as well.
I'm trying to keep the car as original looking as possible so want to respray in rosso pearl, but it's so faded in places a full respray (everything off/out) is the only option.
Ever thought about having it plasti-dip? A guy on here has a body shop and seems to be the UK main dealer for the stuff. It's pretty impressive and at less than a grand for even some great flips and pearls it could be a great interim solution for you.I'm trying to keep the car as original looking as possible so want to respray in rosso pearl, but it's so faded in places a full respray (everything off/out) is the only option.
Peel it off when your done and it is good at fending off stone chips.
My Cerb is off there shortly for a full colour change....
Going to send mine upto Joolz for his short induction kit followed by the emerald ECU and a couple of sessions on the RR.
Post that, I need to sort by front brakes out so will be giving my man Brummie for some of his shiny 330s.
Once thats done...I think it'll be sorted for at leats a few months until I find something else "vital" to do to it ;-)
