Ronan 0 Posted September 29, 2005 What have you got wrong with your car? How long is your "to do" list? At the moment, this is the list I have, and I've had the car all of ONE MONTH... Replace the Crank Oil Seal (gearbox side) Find out why my car is misfiring between 4.5-6k Get a leakdown test done to see if the rings are fried Replace the rear brake compensator Repair the bodged headlight loom Replace the headlight switch Replace the fuse for my foglights Find out why my heater fan is so noisy Replace the cracked front splitter Replace the dented rear bumper Get the dents taken out of my bootlid/bit in between lights and bumper Fit my rear axle poly bushes Unseize the o/s/r brake caliper Have the paintwork mopped to cover up the lacquer peeling I need new brake pads Replace the broken bleed nipple on the o/s/f front caliper so I get a nice firm pedal Get a spot weld put on my CAT headshield, either that or remove it... Fix the wobbly handbrake trim/casing Replace the broken Driver's side handle find out why my water temp gauge doesnt work... Plans: Fit a FMIC, possibly the one I have in my mate's garage Refurb the wheels, or get some Porsche Turbo Splitties Get the arch lip taken out and the arches flared out Replace front numberplate with a vent for the FMIC A full respray or blowover Some more ICE, I don't have any front speakers... Get the headlining re-trimmed in black to match the rest of the car Maybe have something stitched into the seats If the rings are gone, possibly some nice new forged pistons, and bottom end bolts - that way I know it won't go again... Port and polish the inlet manifold Possibly a cam Thats it for now, it should keep me occupied for a while... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ronan 0 Posted September 29, 2005 :lol: im not gonna bother,i already hate the feckin thing enough as it is :lol: good thread though! Yeah I've seen from here, and ClubGTi, that yours has had a few problems. It makes me depressed just looking at that list. Do you think our two cars combined could make one good G60?

Henny 0 Posted September 29, 2005 I think I need to get some time off work.... :| Finish stripping out interior and replace heater matrix Fix heater flaps Install new gauges and tidy up the rats nest of wiring and alarm boxes refit dash Change head gasket reconnect heater matrix Install new expansion tank Get Darren to sort my spare G60 to R1 spec and install that Install water injection system Install boost return deletion kit + work out a silencing kit for it Install uprated brakes (been meaning to do that since Jan... :oops: ) Finish spare complete front suspension and steering rack and then fit to the car. Find out why the electric mirrors have packed in (probably not connected after respray) Get spray man to re-do the roof to sort out a couple of problems Finish off the spoiler brake light and wire in neatly (rather than the bodge job I did at E38!) Oh, and all of that's gotta be done while keeping the car drivable for as much of the time as possible... :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted September 29, 2005 I used a guy in Bollington... it's not the best job in the world, but it was reasonably cheap and I needed some of the bodywork sorting urgently as there were some rust spots that were starting to get critical... :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
