Then again every Escort Cosworth owner will swear blind that its the fastest car on road. Even tho my old posey 330Ci Convertible would keep up with one quite comfortably!

...list of things to do to your Coupe, that is
I'm slowly ticking things off my list, but new things keep appearing. The Forth bridge kinda springs to mind
Separate into "Essential", "Later" and "Maybe one day"
Mine:-
Essential:
Camcover oil leak Phase sensor Fit replacement front discs and have my wobbly ones skimmed Power Steering pump Backbox bracket Wishbone polybushes
Later: Track rod ends Lower subframe brace (needs a new one, current one is bent and bashed) Balance wheels Overhaul front calipers Fit replacement seats
Maybe one day:
Brake cooling ducts Intercooler water spray respray New carpet Remove, de-squeak, and refit headlining HIDs
I'm sure this list will grow before the end of the day, as I remember stuff
How long is your list? Hmmm - I managed ALL the stuff on the Essential AND the Later list. Never got round to the brake ducts and I decided the FMIC was good enough without a water spray. Most annoying though is that I DID manage to sort a respray, but three years later on, its ready for another However, my list is much shorter now EssentialReplace tyres LaterRespray One day, mayberear subframe flexible mounts Air temp gauge That's it

Mine has been reduced significantly, mainly due to me working part time for a year, but this is what's left:
To Do list:
Replace Engine Stabiliser Bar Bushes Camber Bolts, Rear Trailing Arm repair kit & Laser 4 wheel alignment Cambelt and Aux Belts before Jan 2011 Focal Front Components + thicker wiring Fix drivers window so it winds up correctly 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? Replace Bonnet Release Cable Sort Rust around front of car. Replace slam panel? Fit 20v badge & refurb rusty B Pillar cover Coolant Hose of Death Refurbish Alloys & Spray LE Titanium / Black? Fix indicator self cancel Matching side lights to HID’s Sort out the leak in the boot – looks to be coming from window seal? Definitely not the fuel filler cap drain. Gliptone match leather repair. Claybar + wax etc. Barnacle Widget Match inlet to head. Replace/repair exhaust manifold & match to head & turbo. Replace or patch up air con radiator & recharge Refurb headlamp covers. Retrim gear knob, steering wheel and handbrake console Seam Weld Front Subframe Sort overboost in midrange, replace PRV with uprated EBV? Boot polish on front inner wings. Get cloth passenger seat to renew foam for driver’s seat. Remove throttle body and match to the inlet Refurb rear brake calipers inc seals Check n/s CV boot for a split & replace? Replace both wishbones due to stripped threads. Replace ARB Drop links with Fiat items as OE are cracked Replace engine mounts - clunking with gear changes Replace Toyos at Front in next 2k
I won't paste the "completed" list as it's about 3 times longer than that one.

Maybe one day
Respray/fit bodykit Remove all those tiny dings New Turbo External wastegate New Manifold 18" alloys Replace interior with leather HIDs Alot has changed since my list. I got rid of the 16vt and got a 20vt for starters! But before i did i managed to do 2 of my 'essentials' ( 3" Turbo back exhaust & Cleaning Products).

I guess i might as well make a new list for the 20vt CommuLORD Essential Service Cambelt Oil Cooler + Pipes 2 New Tyres Thermostat Later Radiator Coolant Hose GB Gearbox/Engine Mounts Suspension Refresh Maybe one day Shorter commute & diesel hack to save the coop for my garage collection. Given the miles i do in the coop now, nothing much can be left to 'Maybe one day'. The 'Suspension Refresh' is the lowest on my 'Later' list but it will still need doing within the next year or so.

I've heard this is detrimental to how the car sounds? Doesn't it sound a lot better without the foam padding?
