Automotive New Years Resolutions

[Neil]

Or in other words, your 'To Do List' for 2014 :lol:

I have a number of things for the MX-5

- Finally cure the highly irritating rattle/buzz at 2000-3000rpm
- A new set of Eunos sport seats to replace the frayed originals
- Some new discs and pads
- And finally, to take her over 100,000 miles (92K so far and counting - making this by far the highest mileage car I've ever owned).

Other resolutions - to buy a new daily driver. The '5 is great throughout the spring and summer, but not so much in the winter. Still, I'm away for four months in the Falklands from May, which gives me plenty of time to think about it!

So, what are yours?

 

[Puma Babe]

wash the Mondeo, it's filthy :grin: then get around to putting the right registration on it.

put the exhaust on the Puma, get it VIC tested then decide whether to sell or keep

:shock:

 

[hotrodspike]

1. Get the OSF ABS sensor fixed before I go back to college
2. Use the Puma until the MOT runs out (next December)
3. Decide to run it into the ground, sell it or strip it (FRP seats and CF bonnet's got to be worth more than the car, wonder if I can get the sunroof out?)
4. Possibly buy an MX5 or a Focus ST (or 1.8 diesel).

 

[Ian G]

Tidy up and get my online shop sorted out.

And possibly diversify in to something else like MX5s or TTs. :hide:

 

[alexwilliams840]

Add boost by the end of Jan and forged internals by end of year.

 

[Dal]

Buy a V6 or V8

 

[Brian']

Puma;
- Get rid of the rust
- 280mm brakes/calipers
- Braided brake lines

Possibly a lot more but not everything is planned out yet

 

[3dcandy]

Tidy up and get my online shop sorted out.

And possibly diversify in to something else like MX5s or TTs. :hide:

[BenF]

I'm away for four months in the Falklands from May!

you are so lucky Neil! I would love to go to the Falklands. Mind you, for 4 months in their winter...!

 

[Neil]

Put it this way, they don't have mild winters...

 

[BenF]

yes - remember to take 2 pairs of socks!

 

[lrrhood]

Try to keep the inside as tidy as the outside. When hubby changes his car in the spring try to persuade him to buy a puma so that I can use it!

 

[Ian G]

Need a hand with the shop?

Software is set up but it needs filling with stuff, all of which needs photographing and weighing for postage quotes. Also all the categories etc. I am getting more organised, just takes time off other jobs which are more urgent. So yes, but unless you're local and work for sausage butties, I can't afford you :lol:

 

[biaggi]

Uprated brakes.
Change up the exhaust system.
Change over head units.
Full service on it.
