What to spend cash on...

Post by Rich H » Thu Feb 16, 2006 3:54 am

Right, being positive about getting the AA the cough up, what should I spend the cash on? I have mentally adjusted to having spent this cash so it is available to spend (My parents are from Yorkshire, what can I say) £475-£520 or so. The Hi-Power track course is £130 at KH but what else? Or sould I now start saving for HGF? (Touch wood!)

Suggestions anyone?

I take it you have the usual suspects?
Filter, exhaust?

How about finding a 2nd hand set of nitrons or buy new S2 set up?

HGF should be covered by the AA warranty. Ali used it for his IIRC.

Yep, hurricane, new flexi CRP and Larini fitted along with harnesses, quickshift, gear linkage upgrade, uprated headlamps, S2 wiper and headlamp covers...

I was about to go for a SteveB kit just before my clutch went (Just trying to justify it to myself... :oops: ) Problem is that the kits are £~530 and a Geo is another £~120, so a bit much at the moment. I am on the lookout for second hand mind.

I am supposedly saving for when my contract runs out and I need a new job, but that's boring, and besides I have 60 weekdays to take off between now and Nov 26, what would I do without a car? (With Nirons... :D )

That is essentially why a got it but having had the runaround with them so far I'm far from confident in their service. We'll see.

Is LSS worth considering, there are a few sets up for sale?

Got my cheque today, £475. All I need now is an HSBC bank to pay it into. Nearest branch? Edinburgh. Feck. Have to wait till w/e now when I get to the g/fs.
