What are u gonna do to your AU in 2009? (If anything!)
Currently on my to do list are the following (in no order): 1. Change brakes 2. Change springs & shocks 3. Altezza taillights (Shutup, i found some really nice ones! Anything is better than S1 crap  )4. Complete the tuning with my current cam 5. Throw in Joe's new Stage 2 Auto Cam and tune that (more power, more torque and better idle!) 6. Dynamat my boot and hopefully my front doors 7. New tires & possibly rims 8. A few cosmetic items (chrome door handles, leather gear knob, patching up a scrape etc...) 9. Fit my tranny cooler 10. Some headwork (maybe) 11. I would love to get some SC whining going

I have a few things to be done,
1. If I don't sort the Auto out this month it becomes part of the list, rebuild and 3000rpm stall 2. W2A Intercooler, have been told they will be ready to sort it out early Jan 3. Diff gears... again, never buy second hand. Might as well go 4.11's this time. 4. Head and Cam 5. More boost and retune. These are the sure things, depending on if I move somewhere with a garage or not I also plan on getting it resprayed and maybe a different kit, I'm also in two minds about upgrading the brakes, this may or may not happen. Also need to look at doing something with the interior, but this may not be on for this year either, all depends on what I find and if I like it. |

as with mrghia, a lot of sucking up to the missus, but plans are as follows
1. lowered with reset springs in rear and new shocks 2. extractors 3. rear wing and rear bar to compliment the TS50 front and skirts (seeing as chief doesnt want to help a bloke out:( ) 4. start madley saving for a Raptor supercharger....maybe a 2010 mod 5. BA door strips in white...saves me painting my crumby black ones 6. panel repair and respray over sections that need attention. and i think that will be it for this year...all depends on how well finances go.

Plans are to make the car more "user friendly" for the missus.
1. Fix ABS issue so Traction Control can be used! 2. Remove chiptorque chip and retune with edit 3. Some 19's Other then that, nothing. As its looking like it'll be up for sale pretty soon!

face lift for the front of the mont, which is already modded to XR front. But this will happen between 25 dec-1 jan. Will be ready for sydney cruise on the 10 Jan. (hopefully)
Just keep it on the road in 2009 are my main aims, maybe some small interior mods? (every other spare $$ is going into the ESCORT build.)

hopefully have this new airbox in and run up on the dyno for some back to back runs and also want to get the pacey comps on and happening. Wouldn't mind also getting my new gauges in along with the gauge pod under the ashtray. Umm, Depends on how much money i can get saved and i may even get the stereo finished,haha.

For me:
- Paint repairs to my front guard, drivers door - Debadge - Mild body kit add on's to front & rear bar - Undecided on whether to go spoiler-less or T1 spoiler - Undecided on whether to go exhaust, cam & chip package or go S/C. (hope you guys can help with that one) - Strengthen gearbox (only if it sh!ts itself)

Having two young kids I'll just probably stick to fixing all the dam damage they do to it. Boys not even two yet and he nearly pulled the woodgrain door spear right off the other day! Daddy look daddy look, No No No! let it go!
