Decided to set myself a challenge/mini project! I want the car running and looking good for this show

The idea is this, currently my vrt needs or must have the following:

1. Fix oil leak which involves removing the gear box

2. Full service (y)

3. New leads (y)

4. Clean the MAF/throttle bodies/isv valve to try and sort out the running issues im having (y)

5. Weld exhaust as it is blowing on the downpipe (y)

6. FULL RESPRAY (and i dont mean inside the doors and bay just what you can see as this is adaily)

7. New wheels, ideally split rims but if i cant find any in time, poss D90s or merc wheels

8. Wrap exhaust/turbo boost piping etc to stop heat soak

9. New splitter (still looking for one help please)

As you can see there is alot to do, will i get it all done, Place bets now! And all this isnt me dreaming i have been saving up so funds arnt an issue its parts and time that is lol!!

Ill keep you all posted if anyone is interested

Right so i got some work done on the car yesterday, a few things off my list. I cleaned the MAF, changed the standard ht leads which were a mess to 10mm dubpower ones, changed the plugs, changed the oil, and cleaned the air filter. When we started the car it was running like a sack of spanners and smoking like mad out the exhaust (white smoke) Tried putting the old plugs back in but still did it, tried the old leads but still did it, so thought it might be the stuff i put on the maf, turned out that 2 ht leads wernt in the maf properly!

Anyways that stopped the smoke and misfiring, took it down the motorway and its still having problem when im in 4th and 5th with my foot down its spluttering like mad and hesitating, its like the engine isnt burning the air fuel mixture quick enough and its blowing the spark out. So still not got the problem fixed there.

Next on the list is fixing the oil leak which involves removing the gearbox and fixing the blowing downpipe. Car is booked in for monday to get these sorted!
