Owned the car for around 8years now and she has been on the road for just over 8months. Thought I would keep a track of work done, as well as list what is needed and nice to haves:
November 2011 - (£450) to get car thro MOT. Markey Mark helped pull the car out of a bush and did the work required.
December 2011 - Bought an engine off eBay (£750), suppose to have low comp pistons, high lift cam, knife edge crank, etc... (not forged)
February 2012 - HID XENON Conversion Kit (£50), Short shifter (£35), random bits off ebay (bonnet, body kit, strut brace, side exit, 2 1/4 inch down pipe) (£450), AEM UEGO (£150)
March 2012 - Engine bought back in December was put in (£250). Raceland Tubular Manifold, with new gasket and nuts (£200)
April/May 2012 - Grooved disk all round (£100), More random bits (braided brake lines, oil pressure gauge, rear spoiler, dump valve, boost gauges) - £300
Rover Tomcat 200 Turbo (T25) unit = (£10 - eBay) - REBUILD (£350). Adaptor for oil feed £30, new oil, filter, gasket - (£40)
Jun 2012 - Bought BMS downpipe (£230) and external oil cooler (£100). Armtech rev limiter (£50)
To fit:
· Short Shifter Pin
· Oil Pressure Gauge
· Braided brake lines/hoses
· Side skirt clips
· Rear arch
· twin headlights - Want to make up XENON Angel eyes, plus need standard bonnet
· boot release to fit and wire in
· Fix AJ tuning front bumper and fit
· Fit rear bumper
Nice to have:
- 200 BHP
- 220 Toruqe
- clean car all round (paint and interior)
- Exhaust braket under car fixed
- Never having to use "cable tie" to keep my car together/on the road
TBC...
