Well I've discovered that both the driveshafts are knackered, one of them actually has a hole in the casing, so I've ordered a pair of new ones which i'll hopefully get sorted out when they arrive.
Next week i'll be able to start ordering a bunch of stuff in preperation for the Nurburgring. I'm planning on:
Pro-Tech 4-Branch manifold mated to the original Phase 2 center piece (single silenced), and then ending at the rear with a custom fabricated rear box (2.25 - 2.5" exit with olive fitment).
Cambelt & Waterpump change, with new metal piping piece.
Fit new pads/shoes.
Sort out the AFM as it seems to be pretty rough, stalls quite alot when coming to a stop.
Rolling Road tune, was thinking either Skip Browns (3 hours away) or FC Tuning in London.

Ok well both new driveshafts are fully fitted and working. Does anyone know if I need to remove that white oil seal protector, or does it stay on the car ?

I'm gonna give Pristine a call shortly and get them to sort out my rear speedlines. Going for the same again, gloss black with a diamond polished rim.
The 8v seems to be surviving for now, but for how long....who knows. 16v is the next stage for me.

Looking great,
Incidently how much are they charging to do your wheels per wheel?

I think it varies between 60 - 70 per wheel, depending on the condition.
