    I had nothing but an oil change to do. But then last week took the car apart and have started on my winter mods. Nothing like a deadline to keep you motivated

    Make injector loom,
    Fit new reg, inlet and all the other tat,
    Mapping for idiots, bit of luck the adaptronic will do some of that.

    Re: Work needed before Renault Turbo Festival?

    Well with outstanding project car work and losing a week rebuilding the octavia 4x4 chances of getting the track beast out for this track day are zero and only needs 2 full days work to finish

    I do however plan to try and get the 1st VX220 TFSI conversion completed for a shake down if possible - a shed load of work left to do but moving it to my garage at home this week to focus on it between work, farther duties and house stuff after moving in lol

    Not helped last night by the fuel pump on the octavia giving up on way from home and loosing the evening which had planned getting my trailer - bloody cars!!!!

    So 375bhp high compression direct injection audi s3 lump, 6 speed box, lsd will not be fitted in time and the geo will not be done and or the suspension / brake work needed lol. Sure it will be just fine LOL

    But fingers crossed will be out as cant take another year of attending RTOC ND/ track day without a bloody car of my own working

    Re: Work needed before Renault Turbo Festival?

    My list just got very short

    Just need tax now, went through MOT without any issues today. Going to clean interior before making my way up though, looks a bit dirty

    Then just need the rest of the list for the car

    Rear window swap
    Rear Raider sticker on
    Hot air feed
    Exhaust heat shield brackets
    Dash wiring loom
    Raise back end up a bit
    replace engine brackets with re-plated ones
    Sort out radio to get working

    Think thats pretty much it

    Next week, balance front wheels

    All done bar having the wheels balanced and ESP, ESP i can deal with and the wheels i'll have balanced once they're off the car. Just ordered some 15mm spacers to go on the front just to fill the arches a bit more so the wheels will come off when they arrive hopefully Tuesday/Wednesday

    Will dig out the camping gear this weekend:

    Tent
    Inflatable mattress
    Sleeping bag

    Then check the tools, jack, pump, torque wrench are in order. Charge up the MP3 player, dig out the coolbox for the drinks

    Failing that, just bring extra wads of cash or credit card to cover any 'problems'

    Dare I say it I am almost ready just a oil change, fresh Thermostat and a clean of the car away from being ready.

    Oh maybe a little increase in boost too.

    Just shortening my down pipe, got a fMIC to trial to see if it cools enough, got an exhaust pressure test to do, then put it all back together and clean her up.

    Friday morning - pack up and get on the way.

    I love this annual event - If there is only 1 event to go to - it's this - great people - great action - Looks like the sun may even put in an appearance.
