So finally got my front two wheels refurbished, plan on giving it a good clean on sunday and taking photos. I'm starting to run out of annoying things with the car.

So will move onto the next engine step. MY aim is to get 100BHP out of my AAV engine on injection. big ask but I honestly think over 90BHP is achievable. why you may ask, because I'm not a big fan of bike carbsand i love the idea of getting a fairly fast motor on a standard little engine as it keeps it more genuine. I think at the moment its probably running around 70 which is enough to keep up with traffic and overtake shit cars, but I want it to be a little faster than that! :)

Updated first post, to try and appeal to more people ;)

Nothing really has been done on Christine since bringing her of the road at the end of November, due to changing jobs, Christmas and my BMW taking all my time and money. I made a list of things that need doing before the summer.

  • An annoying interior rattle I cant seem to find
  • New speakers and wiring
  • New rear badge (snapped the old one)
  • Oil and filter
  • Rad fan didn't kick in at all when on the road, so will address this!
  • Fit my steering damper
  • Respray the drivers sill.
  • Little bit of paintwork
  • Better suspension setup and some engine work

Best get cracking!!!!
