General What's your plans for your GP for the next 12 months?

[Aircooledbug]

As the title says, whats your plans?

I dont think I could go as fas as June but mines is the following:

Jan: Rear bumper, sprayed. New EGR valve. Exhaust fitted and new secret interior plan.

Feb: Side parts, sprayed and all the kit fitted.

March: Hopefully get remap, new intercooler and induction!

April: Wait and see

 

[Tris Harris]

January: insurance!

February: get abarth springs fitted

March: will most likely save for wheels

April: Save

May: Save

June: Wheels will probably be around here

My plans have just been ruined to this as i've lost my Sunday bar job (which was for car stuff really), so just my normal wage coming in... making the saving process 4x as long!

EDIT: in and between the wheels etc, i'll be spraying the front grille (have the paint already) vinyl on the front bumper, abarth lights, abarth dial cluster surround and some other bits and bats

Just ordered H&R springs, so I'll be fitting those any day now. (Feb-March)

Booked in to a vinyl specialist to put some matt-black vinyl on the bumper.(Feb-March)

I'm still deciding whether to order a badgeless grille or just paint the upper grille in black.

Turbo from the Abarth version is on it's way here too, but that'll have to wait until my warranty runs out:devil:

 

[Vimto Rolf]

Jan: pass my test, get insurance sorted and declare GSR

Feb: save

March: save

April: save

June: save

July: wheels or save depending on which ones i decide on.

August: save

lower to 40mm ebach springs

take off the rear spacers, can't live with them coz they're spoiling the handling,

try and get a new sports exhaust, any suggestions welcome, coz i just can't find one on the web for the GP,

hopefully change the lights to black angeleyes (awaiting slagging)

In what way have they spoiled the handling?

how much does a system like that cost?

id like to do something with my exhaust at some point and heard good things of supersprint but people also say they are expensive.

 

[1.8Stilo]

well carl.. It ain't cheap! Around £300 mark for back box, then depends what you class a full system as, manifold, sports cat, centre section... Near 1-1.5k, I remember pricing centre section and back box up for my Stilo with a discount from GSR was round £600 and the cat and manifold are the expensive bits

bugger that then.

theres a magnaflow dealer round here (magnaflow are the makers of the exhaust for TVR) so i might see what they can do when i get my wheels and that sorted.

 

[punto_matt]

for full system inc manifold and sports cat? Be more than 1.5k for full custom one off i can assure you

:chin:

fitted by nemesis uk and theyre only up the road

 

[punto_matt]

They look ok, bit like powerflow though. If i was you i would just buy a supersprint backbox and leave it at that.

how much would i be looking at for that?

when i pass and can afford it i might drive over there to nemesis uk and see what they can do and if i get really stuck theres a powerflow place in kings heath where most of my mates have been.
