Plans for the year ahead

[Nick]

Well it's been fairly quiet on here for the last few days so I thought I'd make a list of things I'm planning to do to the Banshee this year and if anyone else wants to join the thread feel free

• Fit Lowering pins - got but havent sorted out , hopefully my Hydrogas pump will help.
  
• MGTF rack - got but not done anything about it looks OK to fit but need pennies for a
• wheel alignment so might as well do at the same time as the pins.
  
• Fit Mike Satur Bell crank - got but havent done anything with it in 2 years! just a bit scared to fit as I've heard horror stories about the roll pin.
  
• Polybushes - got but done nothing with them, and (probably wont to be honest)
  
• Mems3 conversion - planned
  
• Z&F remap - planned
  
• Fit solid subframe mounts- not got,not costed, not got a clue how tricky to fit they are
  
• Fit subframe cross brace - got but cant fit until solid subframes are done.
  
• I've also got my eye on a set of individualising valves for the hydrogas pods, just need a steer from Matt if they are any good, oh and I havent got the money either.

I think thats about it, not a bad list considering I thought I'd done everything I'd ever want to get done back in 2010
Any advice or thoughts greatfully recieved.
So whats everyone else got planned???

I take it you're referring to the little silver one and not Ollie. Just don't try going to the dark side with it!


Actually, in all fairness, it's not a bad little runabout to get you to work and back. There's a lot worse out there...

[andyhells]

Aye the new grey one

Have to have something "sensible" to lug our camping/gig/cycling gear around eh?

That'd be a major challenge in the eff!

[Rich]

Oooh, challenge! We like challenges!



My plans are to keep Smudge and TC on the road at the same time, pennies allowing...

Both cars are near enough as I want them but subtle mods will creep in... but they're top secret so you'll just have to wait and see what I've been up to.

And Smudge still could be sold if the right buyer was found... just so I could start another small project!

ZS-hopefully get a Janspeed exhaust & manifolds
MGF-possibly sell it, depending on how I feel. I fancy a 75 Connie...I'm getting old faster than Colin!

Bromance alert - If you two are going clothes shopping together might I suggest you buy a matching pair of MX-5s rather than ZTs?

Mate-I'm currently eyeing up a 1.8 turbo saloon in Royal Blue, with cream leather & wood...shall I see you down the bowls club?

[Rich]

De-chrome it and you'll be forgiven!

[Stu]

For me i would like to get a 2nd motor to do the work mileage as its now 250 a week and let the trophy be pampered, depends on what comes up .

mods will be minimal,starting with putting original trophy badges back on and looking at suspension...........but i might be tempted to buy something shiny

[Rich]

Stu, I really need to get your calendar to you... That way you've got something to make your plans for the year on! I think we'll have to arrange a meet up somewhere.

[Stu]

Rich, yeah i was hoping to make it to a thursday meet but it just never works out for me, looking forward to seeing the calendar and ordered some other bits aswell from shop...not sure how it works??

Hope to make stoneliegh but not definite hence not put my name down....could do it then
