JUNE 2014 continued...
touched up the paint a bit. mainly on the rear bumper under the left tail light and a couple of other bits. few spots on the arch where it rusted n paint fell off (will sort that out in the near future) and a few new stone chips on the front bumper while i was on the motorway. will probably do a proper touch up and get rid of all the marks and blemishes when i have the time but not too important at the moment as it still looks pretty good.
TO DO LIST
new tyres and alloys. tyres are going bold. rear alloy got buckled a little while back.
either new exhaust or a new back box.
timing belt. must be due for a change now. i dont know when it has been done last (if it has)
actually installing the car alarm/remote central locking + window closure module
actually installing the suspension, brakes and cv joint boots (booked for next friday)
EXTRAS
custom mod top half of centre console for Google Nexus tablet install
update dial faces
spray paint the interior. gloss black centre console. other parts in silver.
new gear knob. match the interior
new clutch. no real reason why. but i might aswel since im changing everything else.
short shifter. again no real reason hence an extra
knowing me, the extras will probably get done first. i dont really drive much (7k miles in 2 and a half yrs) so pretty sure it isnt going to die on me lol

sometime last week i went to check what the issue was with the back box. found out the joint between the rear and the centre piece was broken so it rattles and sounds pretty bad on low revs so would need to replace everything from the cat back.
at the same time, found out my gearbox was leaking which explained the whining and the recent clunky feeling. also my clutch has started to slip a little (but still very well drivable)
ordered my exhaust today though. stainless steel downpipe, cat, centre silencer, rear backbox.
next month (maybe in a couple of weeks) hopefully have a stage 1 clutch fitted. maybe stage 2 if i can find a decent flywheel also although that will probably feel like **** for daily driving. since im changing the clutch i thought i might aswel have the gearbox reconditioned as it has to come out to be resealed anyway.
car should be driving like new. onto the bodywork then
