I'm going for..

1. Major service and for once i'm being lazy and have put it into a garage for them to do it.
2. Steering damper.

Haven't really decided what else to for yet but have been eyeing up larger capacity fuel tanks so i can do more than 100 miles to a tank and getting new forks and shock all setup to my weight.

1) Charge temp gauge
2) Knock link
3) AP 6 Pot 330mm brakes

But by the time i have finished chatting to Zak, i think a few other bits may creep on.... not so much about more power, just keeping reliability.

Looks like a few more mods are now needed having visted Zak today....

4) Wrapping of down pipe
5) Uprated fuel pump
6) Fuel pressure regulator
7) Ported Headers
8) STI V7 TMIC
9) Modified 440 injectors (rated at 740)

Ive got quite a bit to do on my sx.
Firstly i need to send the english spec head away to be skimmed and possibly ported a bit,hopefully APT can sort that out for me.

Brakes are next,im fitting s14 calipers on the front with new discs (not sure what make to go for though) and braided brake lines all round.
Every single bush is fubar so they will be replaced along with shock absorbers.
The standard turbo is next for the chop,i will be replacing it with a t28 from an s14 sx and a greddy front mount,just need to find some pipework for that job.
Im going to strip out the interior and give it a bloody good clean and strip out soundproofing,then fit some decent looking seats and harnesses.
then ive got the arduous task of removing rusty bits from the bodywork(which is on the bottom of the rear quarter panels)and get rid of the spoiler on the bootlid,then prep body for a respray.
After all that im going to run it in properly so it might actually make it to a trackday,instead of blowing its guts all over the A11.
I will try to post some pictures as i go but electronics arent my strong point so it may take a while.
