Rotor arm £5.75 (dizzy cap is copper contact, just needs a clean)

Fuel Filter £21.50

Pagid pads £39.95 & £33.95

and then Red.Dot groved and drilled disks.

~ £250

and any re-conned calipers as needed (about £100 a corner).

and lob an oil change in her too ..

[Rookey]

Looks like a good list...judging by the way you drive I would say you will need all four corners right?lol

[Bibbs]

heh heh .. only 3 weeks for a reply .. :D

Well I'm ordering the disks asap .. and the rest will come from Fennies after I've had a chat with Leeky about a group bulk order ..

[Rookey]

Coolant is fine .. do that as and when.

Dunno about the bushes, dunno what my coilovers need

Braided hoses - got .. 5.1 fluid - of course (but I'll let Millway use theirs)

Tyres - I'm not loaded :)

Samco .. I need the one to the AFM .. but I can't afford £80 ..

[Rookey]

Before you go to samco hosing, as you're a poser...You may wanna clean your engine first?lol

[ricomr2]

Do the ht leads need replaced often in the turbo cars?

Just wondering because they way Jims car breaks down in the wet

suggests they need replaced.

But he only changed them about 20k ago

Bah, hes not man enough to slap, he couldn't even lift his hand to a sponge to clean his car :D

[bfuller]

Pull off a charge pipe, and check to see if there is any oil residue etc etc

Might be worth checking your turbo isnt on its way out before you spend elsewhere :D

If your not running a catch can it'll be full of crap no matter what condition the turbo's in :D

[DeusMR2]

yeah miens caked in a thin layer of oil. Gonna make meself a catch can - all you need is a paint can and a drill!

[ricomr2]

Are we talking about Jims car now??

Mine too. Saw a GReddy catch can on eBay that didn't cost too much, so I guess that will have to be done too this year. :(

[Bibbs]

Is it just the pipe from the cam cover to the intake that needs a can on it? The "breather" pipe of whatever it's called.

Then just plug the hole in the intake? Oil in the intake can't be helping the octane.

I guess it must be, but it looks way cooler to have a GReddy catch can in your engine bay

[Bibbs]

Well £230 from Fensport for the odds and ends.

and just ordered my disks - £205 for fronts and £190 for rears - grooved and drilled.

So that's over £600 in parts .. and it's not even seen the garage yet.

She doesn't have a say in it, but seems to encorage me. But then she did go through about 10 sets of tyres (Eagle F1's) in a year when she had an MR2 ..
