2014 is going to be the spending year for me, bought her a few months ago now and I'm just enjoying the drive. Januari MOT and I already know there's some cat isues and maybe some brakey thingys at the back :scaredtoss: . When the costs aren't to high I lower the car in februari and depanding on if my job promotion is going trough by then I'll start hunting down an s-type lip/skirt kit, dark head lights awesome rims etc. etc.
When summer starts I'll stop spending on (big) upgrades (since I probably cant resist super awesome things I run in to :jdm: ) and start saving for a 350Z or a s2k while driving the lude for another year or 2. 8-)
Love sucks, true love swallows.

Fit one of the sets of EL dials I've had for about 3 years - still no
Fit nucleustylzlude chip that I've had for 2 years - still no
Swap the JDM OEM manifold into it off my JDM - nope, but I bought a second one so the JDM doesn't need to donate first

My progress - or lack of - over the last 12 months.
Service, including timing belt...... Not Done. This is something I really need to progress.
17" wheels (motegi or similar).......Bought and were fitted for the summer. Motegis aren't in bad condition though ideally need a refurb. Tyres are too good to throw away but prob not good enough to warrant removing and saving. Refurb still waiting for now.
HID headlights..... Done.
I have a spare rocker cover. Going to fit that once I have had a go at a refurb .... what's the worst that can happen? :D Not done anything with this yet.
Also got a japspeed manifold to fit when the weather improves...... Still waiting for the weather to improve from this time last year! :oops: Maybe before Japfest..
Would also like to get the bodywork tidied up a bit, but can't see that happening any time soon..... Still cant.
Going to fit a climate control system (bought ready) when I get a weekend free.
Still waiting to get it lowered once I buy a set of coilovers.
Now added a set of twin-pot calipers on to the 'to-do list.

My secret plans for last year was to start collecting parts for a 2.0 turbo build. I ended up with an R34 at the end of 2013.

I'd like to say she'll be on the road by the end of January, but that might be pushing my luck. Done
Statistically, does that make me the most successful member, in that I've completed all I set out to do?
