[riplash]

Just curious what everyones got planned for their cars for the Winter months really.. unless of course its top secret until unveiling hehe

Im going to get mine looking as good as the day it rolled off of the production line, then see what happens after that

Whos gonna be doing what to their car?

 

[Clio16vPaul]

im considering washing mine, but probably late january. may even hoover if SHE will do it for me.

... im leaving the clio alone, got the other toy to mess with, nice to have a car that you can dismantle and do what you want with..

[Dean]

[weight]

[Daz]

This is what we like, Clio Projects - RSOC Styleeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..

 

[Smokey]

Am gonna be fittin my Willy 3 engine, after changing the Head Gasket, Cam Belt, Clutch and water pump, and gear box then getting it down to Hill Power for a Chip!!

Oh yeah and gonna get some Tar-Ox 40 Groove discs all round and gonna get it lowered 35mm

 

[Bubbles]

I havent decided what im going to do yet... but im going to do SOMETHING!

 

[Illusion]

Well, im gonna have a full service and having my front shocks, and rear dampers replaced to originals by christmas. Then having the timing belt changed in the new year.

Then have some body work done, cos I want her looking like shes spankin new, just like wot riplash is doing.

 

[Fred@BTM]

new engine!! (but its all top secret)

 

[DTWD]

The same things that have been on my list forever. Just need the money to do it. My car should be going to Hill Power soon for development fitting and testing of his new, near the bulk head, induction kit and getting a chip fitted then aswell. Then as my exhaust is on its way out (or it will be, if you follow my drift) hopefully a full stainless jobie over xmas. Maybe even as a part pressie off my folks. Then theres the suspension. I am aiming for feb for that. Then thats about it, apart from new road tax and a service.

[Bubbles]

Its not a waste, its therapy.. youre making the miserable winter months more bearable by spunking cash!

Sounds good to me!!

 

[Essex_Lad]

headlight bulbs, PH2 grille, smoothed door strips, de-locked, rear diffuser on finally, bonnet redesigned, good clean in and out, new front pads

lots to so and considerin the first show aint til April got ages to do it all!

 

[KDF]

I think I will be speding most of winter trying to change my orange indicator bulbs to silver ones, obviously I better stock up on waterproof plasters first.

well dude, who has the part numbers me or you???

muhahahahahha!

 

[GPRIM]

full service

then hillpower for induction kit ecu and possibly a new exhaust, not sure on sports cat from ktec though, depends on funds.

new clutch and brake pads are needed, maybe some discs too oh and i need new tyres.

new head unit (hopefully for xmas)

what an expensive winter it will be for me

might save up for the turbo as well, beat my mate in his scooby then

 

[tony 16V]

I brought the manifold of Barryd, which BB used to make a copy for there manifold.
