So come on, how many peoples cars are in bits, and will you make the may deadline to get them ready?
ill start, mine needs a few more horus work under the bonnet, some body work, and a really good clean out of water thats colelcted in the tire well, and all the crap from stacshing stuff to rebuild the car.
confidence level of car making it ==== High!!
Set a deadline of March 19th for mine without a floor. Eeek!
Can't wait to see yours man!

oh yeh i bought some carbon fibre :P lol
Well i've got new brakes allround to order on payday, i need to investigate the noisy RB gearbox i have fitted (poss rebuild), need 4 new tyres and I have a gt28rs in the shed that may make it onto the car before the trip.
Not much then
V8 needs lots, and lots and then some more - should mqke it though
Daily needs a new sump and some bushes. Should be fine
I'm not a big ford fan but the RS500 is a legend, you cannot take away from it its Icon status and to suggest that its a chavvy car is like saying Kirsten Scott Thomas is a council estate slapper
Few little silly niggles to sort, plus some alignment and a remap are needed for meAlso fancy some ferodos for the front but not essential.
I may have to buy a new daily though, and if that happens then I doubt I'll have the money to go at all. Its touch and go if I'll make itReally want to though.
my bro and I don't have any paint on ours, it's a minor detail! Should be ready in plenty of time and can't wait to get out there in this car- I'll be driving it a bit more respectfully than I did the old peugeot I last went in though!

I really dont think people quite get the sense of exatcly how much crap has accumulated in the car since it was last on the road.and all the crap from stacshing stuff to rebuild the car.

Seriously considering hiring us a skip
Back on subject, my car just needs MOT and tax to make it road worthy, but not ring worthy.
Got a couple of things that i'd like to fit before then. *Deep breath*: 5 stud hubs, Nismo wheels with new tires, GTS-t front brakes, Z32 rears, braided lines, walbro, manifold, downpipe, shiney new cat-back, fmic, Tial BOV, colder plugs and a good servicebetter pull my finger out really.
If there is time before, i'd also like to go Nistune, t28 of some variant and take a look at upgrading the ebc.
Then when there's time, fix the 200
I don't need to touch the interior of my car, that was easier than listing everything I need to do with no job or money.
Basics are new engine, brakes, suspension, wheels, turbo then tax, mot and insurance.
I can use the standard wheels if I get 4 new tyres on them so new wheels can wait but I seriously doubt I can make it this year.
I got a set of S14 fronts or are you wanting to upgrade?
Nah mate, it's a product of love, effort and time though dude. That's where the respect is at! Loud and fast is just a bonus!dont get to excited mate, its only an s13, with a sil80 front end, with dodgy colour panels, and crap wheels. lol. but it will be loud and fast
You forgot the scars too
Upgrading really, have a full set of s14 wheels that have bold or very close tyres on them.
Mine is at DCMS with the engine out, but should be all back together by the end of the month. Had new coilover fitted as well.. Asked Graham to change the brake fluid, as it boiled last time I push it hard (Isle of Man), think its just DOT4 at the moument which won't do..
he was talking brakes mate.
Mine looks like this at mo but should be back on the road in another couple of months. I told the body shop no rush as I dont want to drive it in the salt with new paint but mechanically its 100%. Just body work, new black interior to fit, bit of a tidy up and its all sorted
Upgrading those aswell, or just a refurb for now.he was talking brakes mate.
surely working std bits to get you on the road is fine for now

Highly doubtful that mine will be ready, but ill try.
Not taking it on the Ring tho
Mine will be ready even though its not a 200
Cam's, Exhaust and Remap are end of next month then 4 pots will be put on April along with some Coilovers
Oh and some new tyres suitable for the Ring
