need to get out in my freezing garage and strip then rebuild the engine in my track 5!!got all the bits except the new turbo!then need to sort out getting the body sprayed!!hopefuly ready for some track/pod action this year as did hardly any last year!
Finish putting it back together, get it mapped and go hassle some scoobies :D
Im doing the following:
converting to the 2ltr aka F4R engine on throttle bodies
once I have the engine in and running, it'll be stripped and resprayed with new panels galore
all of the braking system/fuel lines will be overhauled
once the body of the car is pretty much restored, I will be looking at tuning the engine further ie the cams, a bespoke manifold and exhaust system
My aim is to get this ALL completed within 6-8 months.
I will be starting a project thread as soon as I collect the 2ltr engine :)

Well my plans are to complete red 5 for Pod Day, its 80% there just the annoying little jobs left on the engine bay then wiring. Fit all the interior bits then start it, map it then go thrash it at the Pod.
With the campus its already done, will do what ever needs doing to it throughout the year, do a few track days and maybe a few extra little tweeks :D
well i plan on getting it to germany an back without any trouble...
:D
1st thing for me to do is get the fecking snip 4 kids is enough for anyone :laugh:
With ref to 5 plans well need to put current c1j back together in next couple of weeks also going to build a high spec c1j this year.
No more engine conversions for me:ashamed:

fit koni's
fit new brakes and lines
buy & fit polys new mounts + a scoff mount im yet to buy
fit my nice spec engine run it in for a 1000 miles maybe and then my t28:cool:
gonna need a cage & might respray it but tatty fast 5 sounds like a laugh:smokin:
i plan on
getting a decent air filter (ive never had 1 on the car in 3yrs) and routing it properly
zircotec on the fanny mould, turbo housing, downpipe, and wrapping them all in dei wrap and sealer
make a heatshield for the fanny mould and turbo and a ram air box for the filter out of nimbus
new exhaust cam
new 750cc injectors
remap/live setup
and a bit of general tidying/painting/wiring
i hope to get this all done for the start of summer so i can go have some proper fun this year.
but i need to finish redoing my hallway and a bit more in the kitchen before i can start, and thats taking all my time and money for a while.
then more long term i plan on learning to weld so i can do some cutting and shutting :cool:
im gunna cut out the floor, baulkhead, turrets, and make my own.
later in the year im gunna show the m3 some love with a rerouted air filter, ditching the box,
electric rad fan conversion
remap.

really hoping to get started on the efi conversion this year
failing that id be happy to sort the poor handling out
and make a few meets:agree:
not sure as to what yet from me.
playing with the idea of selling/stripping the hybrid R19 cab for parts and selling the R5. then bying a newer car for a bit of comfort to ge tto work and back...one that hopefully combines fun with reliability.
i was looking at a R26 F1.
if that doesnt matterialise ill be ripping the interior out the R19 roll caging it, dismantling the roof and rolling it at the nurburgring!
Whether it will happen or not i'll still list what i'd like to do with the 172 in 2010, i'm just hoping i can keep hold of it
Strip out and sell the interior
Would like to fit a 6 point cage
Pair of bucket seats and harnesses
4 pot calipers
Fit the braided brake hoses and renew brake fluid
Sell the Koni suspension and fit coilovers

Fit the my new t28 and a few other new bits, set it up for 22psi, then fix it when it breaks!
Ohh and get my windscreen surround sorted before it gets to new panal time!:)
I would have loved to take it to the ring but I don't think it will happen, not this year anyway:cry:

Think I'll just aim to get .7 bhp more than Ashy again.
I'll be removing the Ktec turbo set up and fitting a selection of hand picked parts that should give me in th region of 300bhp. Then I'll mostly be improving my gearbox swapping skills :)

Glad you are keeping it.Think i know what colour you will go for :).Il be coming to you to get mine sprayed liquid yellow next year id say.Ive finally settled on that colour after thinking about leaving it tungy or doing it white/black like that tribal style gallardo.
Plans are, keep the old trusty ph1 trudging along, and generally abuse it :D
Have as much fun in the "coupe" as i can and do as many trackdays as my wallet will allow :)
my 2010 plans (apart from diet)
Get 21 into a position to be a daily driver.
Also with the help of Marky and GTnutter get my clio on the road.
finish it and then sell it to paul (hydrotech78):D:D:D:D
