It's a labour of love though

http://worsleysturbocoupe.blogspot.com/

well i am atually quite pleased. thought mine was the only one with coop problems and i was getting down about it but my list isn't as bad as some of yours!

This thread is great for me, as I'd forgotten some things which others have mentioned, they've now been added to my 'To Do' Word document

Does make you sigh in relief when you read this!

Apart from obvious scratches and chips I'm not going to bother with sorting out the body work at the moment, my doors look a bit like someone has tried to straighten a crumpled rizla paper.

which leaves:

Hazard lights dont work
Cambelt
Clutch
Oil change
Oil filler cap leaks
Electric mirrors dont work
windscreen chip
slight coolant leak
remove and clean skirts
clean up exhaust outlet
passenger seat doesn't lock back when tipped
Rear wash spray doesnt work
undertray missing
paint rocker cover
de-grease engine
new coolant tank
slight rust on rear arches
Light covers polish
de gunk and paint centre console

Scorpion cat-back gets fitted tonight

spray job
low oil pressure
miss fires some times
bonnet release cable
new drivers seat
new gear knob
re fit the blue flame exhaust
under seal the car


more to add when i remember whats missing

Sounds like all our Coupes need some serious sorting!

Can't believe how easy these cars must dent

Why did I look at this post

New Springs
New Dampers
New CV Joints
Sort Blowing exhaust
Get it through it MOT next month
Get a correct coloured door and boot
Get a new bonnet
Get sideskirts sprayed and fitted
Find out what the annoying noise is coming from under the bonnet
Find out why the injector light is coming on, on full boost when driving at (excessive) speed.. :'(

grrrr!

Ok after reading all these maybe my car isn't so bad lol!

We could do a Spray Job group buy at this rate!

Gareth

now thats a idea :-)

a full re-spray
turbo re build
studs re drillled out of head for manifold
bumper fixing and re-fitting
rust sorting out
getting through an mot
a very good clean
rear washer not working

think thats it but a group re-spray is a very good idea

going in next week and
clucth, fast road
cambelt and all the other stuff with it
rear brake lines
trotle cable
ruber thing over the steering rack
then flea can work his stuff in sep
come to think of it iv not spent much this year (so far)

respray group buy... i'd be up for that!!!!!

We could probably get it really cheap if we had them all sprayed the same colour

Oh, now I have to add to the list! Mine isn't boosting! Hmm.

Gareth

POST REVIVAL!!

Here's what I need to do between now and the end of summer...
1. Fit Hybrid - Taffy (March)

3. Remap at uncle fleas (March/April)
4. Change EBV or fit a PRV (overboosting) (ASAP)

* respray rear bumper

8. Respray Plus alloys in a groovy silvery gunmetal colour (like Danthemanc's)
9. Clean up engine bay and polish rocker cover

Doesn't look like I've done much but de-rusting and repainting parts of the engine compartment and various bits has taken ages.

Upper O/S Light cup corroded but hand-painted with Sprinty-coloured Hammerite.
Really like to give all 4 the LE/polished look.

PS. And an FOC Flea live map.

Mine,
Most of happening next week hooefuly!

Change cracked manifold,
Cambelt change (can't wait! Woop woop)
Service
Gtec 1 chip
New exhaust
Wash
Polish
Hoover
Drive
Air filter replace / modify
Tidy up toad alarm wiring
Make some panels to cover the middle of centre console (by your feet)
Rolling road to check and find out what power she's putting down.
Drive some more
Wash once again
Hoover once again
Get bored and decide I can't be bothered to polish it again
Return the new set of headlights I have (cheers taffy)
Refit hid kit to the new headlights (with the right bulbs this time - don't ask)
And finally, fix all the things I have broken while doing the above things.....

Gonna be a quiet week.

OK, I'll join in:

Send to bodyshop for fix/touch up of 5 minor bubbling/lacquer peel
Fabricate new centre console for double din headunit
Get centre console and handbrake surround flocked
Fit new Rockford Fosgate speakers front and rear
Buy and fit new amp and wiring
Fit rear headrest LCD screens
Fit new DVD/DVB-T/Sat Nav headunit
Wire in JLow style fan indicator LEDs

But first.... get it back from Motormech once the engine is back in :-)

I think maybe my car isn't so bad after all!

It's my daily driver and work car so 000's miles per month.

The list runs:

Passenger rear qtr dull paint - poor repaint some time in it's life
Lots of dings and chips down each side
Scuff on the pax rear bumper
Stone chips on the nose and a small dent right on the front edge of the bonnet.
Drivers door stay broken - have new, just no time to fit yet
Wheels need refurbishing
Wheel arch lips beginning to bubble front and back plus paint erosion through winter use
Full service coming up in the next couple of weeks
Belts due this year

But the worst thing is the bloody awful squealing from the front brakes - my fault fitted new discs & pads on Christmas eve and just have not found time to sort this problem

Oh and the rear wash does not work

...and it needs a damn good clean

Following another visit to Solo Italia yesterday and with a VIS manifold and new radiator fitted not much for a change.

However if I could really justify it, I'd sort out the various paintwork issues on mine with a full respray. However with prices rock bottom on Coupes at the moment, I just can't justify it.

Interesting to see my old list above. My current To Do list:

Replace Engine Stabiliser Bar Bushes
Camber Bolts, Rear Trailing Arm repair kit & Laser 4 wheel alignment
Refurbish Brembos with seal kit & spray red.
Respray car and remove all dents. Fit LE Kit & replace rear bumper. Or fit PIU front & rear, with Zender sides. Get centre console sprayed too
