Car has since had a 22mm front swaybar and HD links. Looking a the next round of stuff. Been very tempted by e85 and fuel system upgrades, but think I am holding off for now to see if it (ever) becomes feasible now that United have seemingly stopped building new service stations.
I did Email BP to see if they would ever do a retail ethanol blend, and the answer was:

Dear Sir
Thank you for your enquiry about BP selling E85, currently we have no plans to enter this market. It does not meet our requirements for a performance fuel due to its low energy content when compared to hydrocarbon fuels which means it tends to have specialist application to flex fuel vehicles or modified racing vehicles. Overall demand for E85 is low.

So anyway, to throw some more money into the pit, I have noticed since doing some track days the heat from turbo area without a heat shield was pretty epic and the I/C was just getting hammered.
All this shit should sort it out pretty good.
Perrin Turbo Heatshield, Blanket & Downpipe Blanket:
Perrin Pitch Stopper (I think mine is farked and contributing to other problems)
Mishimoto X-Line Radiator & Hoses
HEL Braided Clutch Line & Bleed
Gonna drop the oil in the gearbox as i'm not sure if it's been changed since it went in. 75W-90 the go for 6 speeds?? Was just going to put some Penrite Pro Gear in, 4.7litres worth i believe is the right number.
Took off the r-comps which I was daily'ing on too which was probably a good idea heading into wetter weather and driving around on this shit.
