Ho Ho Ho The Christmas thread

[Chilliman]

I have been thinking about what to buy beastie for Christmas

Apparently, there's not many shopping days left, and if you're thinking about mail order or whatever it's called then you've also got to consider postal mayhem and delays as the festive onslaught gathers momentum...

There's about 34 days left before the big one, so I reckon decisions have to be made within the next two weeks if we're to avoid a very disappointed P&J sitting in the garage (or on the drive etc). And we all know how they can be if they don't get what they want. It's even worse if they've overheard you mention stuff like big brakes or coil packs. And they don't materialise....

So, what are you buying that special someone (no not her, the one with tyres on) this Christmas

Note: a miniature xmas tree glued on the dash doesn't count

Gonna be new pads and 888s for my P&J,ready for the next trackday.

New seats, although they may have to wait till our 10th anniversary in Feb ( me and the car that is) as I already have an electric nut gun on santa's list.

LOL, the one for the car is battery, mine is a 240v

The list is growing:

Accusump
Oil cooler
New set of 888s
Track seats
Full harness belts
New carpets
Front end re-spray

But most of all I need to clear our one garage and get him into the dry.

[jojackson4]

Drop links.
Shocks back to gaz for service
Rear bushes
And oil and filter change

[Colin L]

New Lights from Steve Edwards is on my list.

As for Christmas Postal Madness, it's already started so order the stuff now guys and post early for Christmas.

My next day off is Christmas Day

Still will pay for the upgrade and maybe that Spa track day trip next year

Going to give my car its engine back

[phazed]

Don't laugh, just bought this for the old darling!

It's a Lotus race seat, got it for £150, should be delivered in the next day or two.

Thoughts are, recolour the pads to a neutral colour and bolt it in for TDs.



Oops, didn't load the piccy!

It's on the engine stand ready to go back in! Honest..............

New loom's in

[estutjaweh]

Following the engine swap I've overtaken a few too many parked cars sideways so I'm giving the chimp what she and I both need for Christmas - Handling! I've already got the GAZ adjustables and Cosworth brake upgrade (had that for a while actually - i'm just too lazy to fit it), just need to find suitable wheels that ze German authorities will let me fit (I 'have' to sell mine although I love the style!), and then I can get the Toyos and have the geo set-up right. Awesome.

[Oggs]

I have bought the Protech shocks for it and rear droplinks :-)

[NickM450]

So far:

Heads
Large Plenum

Still to come:

Emerald ECU
Fitting it all and all the other bits that go with that....

Just moving the Chim out of the bedroom and back into the garage will be enough for most women........
