So with the new year comes a fresh start and all that......but what are you plans for your car for 2015? Mine are new tyres (due soon!), fit headers/100 cell cats when they arrive and sort out my el cheapo anti hop rear axles. I'd like to be adding more power this year but will need to see later in 2015 for that.

I'm all spent on mine. Pretty much done all I want to before it starts getting REALLY expensive.
Only thing to really plan to do is undersealing.....

Not sure that there will be anything in the pot for this year frown though if I can scrape the funds together, then who knows. hehe

The cam should have been early 2015, but was done early. There's one more modification to come, but as with previous mods, I really don't want to say too much until it happens - in case it doesn't.

There's also the paintwork that needs addressing. I haven't been happy with the front bumper for quite a while, and there's a few stone chips that need addressing.

Oh I've got a couple of interior bits I want to replace as well.

But 007 you're right, some driving as well....

Mine's throwing a fit, think a battery may be first order! (Just had a new one, think a few weeks of minor use and the cold snap may have prematurely offed it...)

Intake to go on with ancillaries (TB, fuel rails, injectors), book some dyno time to do the spark tune (calling the engine mods 'done', would probably start over if I really 'need' to go bigger), and traction control. Finally finish battery relocate and 8" subs install.

Ive got a full respray booked in for end of February, might get round to fitting some of the parts ive had in the garage for the last 3-4 years also lol

Pedders extreme suspension kit.
Walkinshaw cam, forget which one as Ive had it for over 3 years,
Yella Terra Lifters,
Uprated front pulley,
Rotofab intake,
New front and rear anti roll bars.

Not taking up too much room so no rush.

Still debating wether to fit the pedders extreme suspension which is buried somewhere in the garage, only issue i have is even as standard the bottom lip of the bumper hits the ramp on the way in/out of the garages where i park it, so cant get my head round fitting it but keeping the same ride height as standard.

When you get to my age you become focussed on the bucket list. My "plan" is to be able to see the year out and I'll take it a day at a time.

Thinking I probably sale mine if I get the right price for it ,(if not it will just in the garage for another year) as done less then 1k in mine the whole of last year, and cannot see i be doing much more in it this year. Got a few holidays going to be booked up including Austin, Texas for the F1 bounce
