Working on the plans at the moment, but will finish with a re-map from Vantuner 8)

Replaced all 4 tryes with correct sized ones 195 65 15 (Only temp measure)

Rough plans at the moment
Replace drop links on front along with anything else that is causing odd noises from the front end.
Change oil filter & oil (asap)
Mot & Re-Tax

Then,
Sort gearbox cables or whatever it is causing minor gear changing problems (Not read enough to know whats wrong but i'm certain with the people I know already on here i'll get it sorted) Hint Hint :lol:
Air box from Ford Focus with new filter (Need to read a bit more in the connect forum on here to ensure I buy & fit the right parts)
Rear disc brakes conversion (Believe its just 8 bolts & some scrapped knuckles :lol: )
New wheels & tyres (Have no clue which yet)
And anything else that can improve bhp & handling? mid life crisis :lol: :lol:

Still researching what else I can do, so have not decided yet on anything else
