I get paid on the 28th and then it's my 18th on the 4th of June.

I am hoping to get a proper induction kit for the car. Have all the black trims, door handles and black bumper trims sprayed the same colour as the car. Have it lowered all around by 35mm and get that prima racing evolution spoiler sprayed and fitted.

After that I will be happy with the car.....if only I had cash now Confused

Anyone else planning things?

Well yesterday I discovered one of my brand new 17" Toyo Proxes has sprung a leak. Not sure how long I'd had it but noticed it when I finished work yesterday!

At the garage the reading of the pressure was just 9psi!

Anyway I pumped it up to 29psi and after 24hrs it had dropped to 24psi, so 5psi/day which by my calculation means I acquired the puncture about 4 days ago! Not happy at all! Evil or Very Mad

Well anyway I'm buying Mark's (red19rt) Clio Turbines for the car next month to double up as a second set to be used in an emergency/for any performance-oriented event and just if I ever fancy a change really!

Want to get the rear of the car lowered DESPERATELY as I'm fed up of the car looking like a snow plough. Maybe Chris will sort this out for me when I'm up collecting the Turbines from Mark....

Incidentally I've proposed the idea of a Scottish meet when I'm up there, I've suggested a meet to Chris and Mark and both are well up for it, so if anybody fancies a Retro-Renault meet north of the border then I'll get a date sorted out!

The 19's bodywork is really starting to bug me as well, need to think about getting out of this student house and moving back home first though, and then get some cash behind me!

Also need to get credit card paid off ASAP.

I need to do the bodywork desperately before it gets completely out of control! Mine seems to be a funny colour, 414???

Oil and Filter change
Air Filter
Fuel filter

I'm going to wait until just before the MOT in July for all that, give the emissions a helping hand Very Happy

.

Need to look at the spring hanging down from the gearbox.
Clean or swap the oil soaked boot carpet!
Wash it inside and out

Swap out the bits that the parcel shelf sit on at either side cos there's been big dogs with big teeth chewing on them!

Sort out the leak above the back window - urgently!

Put the stereo back in properly!

Oh, and take the wheel arch liners off to clean all the crap out from behind them! (is there any way of getting the stupid plastic clips off without them breaking???)

Got a trolley jack and axle stands yesterday which will hopefully help matters alot!
