    My list got bigger and I just realised its next friday. The rear shock bushes in the z32 rear uprights on one side have failed so I was driving around today buying spherical bearings, circlips and alloy bar so I can get something made and fitted in time.

    2 weeks to go and I still have no rear suspension (away for reconditioning), no MOT and it hasnt been driven in 6 months

    Should I be worrying yet ?

    My turbo is being dropped off tonight to be rebuilt, then I've got to wait for it to come back so I can get the new wastegate fitted along with a flexi in the downpipe and hope that it all runs nice and sweet lol.

    All thats stopping me this year is a nail in my tyre. Getting that fixed this weekend then the cars actually ready. I think this is going to be my first weekender where the car isn't up on axle stands the night before it goes

    Oh and to top it off I am in the middle of sorting out decorating and moving into a new house and am on a course this weekend and next weekend which also requires me to do 2hrs studying each evening during the week.
    I also can't take any time off work at the moment
    Decided I'll bring the black one so have booked it for coilovers to be fitted and wheel alignment done on monday

    That should be me sorted!

    still haven't got the engine sat just right in the silvia
    bought and mx5 for a cheap track hack and it failed the mot on rust (as i knew it would)
    so... it's either concentrate on the silvia and hope, concentrate on the mazda and get that there or just chill the **** out and rock up in the oil burner...

    ...bmw's more comfy

    Clutch slipped on the 5 the other night so I have booked a trackday at Llandow on Saturday to either put my fears that it is going to go completely to rest, or kill it dead so I have to fit a new one next week. Getting one to hold the torque in the UK is both hard and really expensive though

    Well I just added collecting, painting and fitting a bodykit to the list

    I have a rollcage sitting in storage at the moment but probably unlikely I will try to fit that before the weekender.

    Are they that much smaller diameter than a 200 clutch?

    what's the reason they can't cope with your set up mate? Or just not that many blown 5's out there?

    Time is up.
    The prequel is finished.

    New thread is up for anyone with unexpected issues. Those with known issues should have them fixed by now
