2009 = turbo power.

When my house sale goes through mid Jan I'm hoping for a shiny new Snort Performance turbo manifold to come my way. Once that sucker gets delivered it's hopefully not too far away for it to be fitted along with the rest of the turbo gear.

2009 may also result in the accumulation of additional demerit points.

It'd also be nice to get the car washed and to have the damaged moulding panel between the doors replaced. I have the moulding I just haven't gotten round to replacing it. Getting a buffer over the car would be nice too.

Parts already on there way -
KYB Shocks
kenwood dvd player now sitting on kitchen table
MSD Leads and Coils.
pull heads and intake off and race port - valves and gaskets waiting in shed.

And then the want to do/get.
make proper custom sub boxes for my 2 10's - been meaning to do for 6 months.
Make custom air box and air intake pipe.
make custom parcel shelf - also been over 6 months.
Fix tail pipe up so that it actually comes out in the centre of whole and add tips.
Get both passenger side doors painted.
Do something with wideband gauge so its not just sitting there loose.
Possibly 331 stroker, depends how the engine survives as to when.
Get tear fix in leather on drivers seat.
I probably should wash, clean and polish it at some point.
Innovate data logger to go along side wideband lc1.
ostrich 2.0 realtime tuning emulator.

Fit airbox, retune, then drive the thing. A few cruises should do it some good.

Then sell mid year for B series V8 or boost the AU.

I already own it, its sitting in my garage. Its nothing special though, just a series 3 forte, but with only 104k's on the clock. My good bits are going on that (some of them anyway), and the monty is going to be sold for around 6g.

Sorta started looking around for another car, but when you're locked in with a house, splashing out on a car isnt something to consider.

With 93000ks on the clock for a 99 AU, its got a long life in it. Plans, just to drive it and keep it neat.

Fix or clean out the sticky window switches, fix or bin the 6 stacker, and just routine maintenance and cleaning.

It was for sale, and had a few calls on it, but the have decided to not to get in any more debt by upgrading, so AU is staying !
