Shocks / springs
Possibly some proper seats, I'm using the steering wheel to hang on in some corners
Alignment bits
B16A2 (170hp) conversion possibly, couple of other options around as well
Probably a full poly bush conversion as well for the entire suspension

Whatever comes up on the MOT next week.
Some beefier bulbs, second-hand vi alloys + better tyres maybe if I get a job.
Pushing the boat out eh?

Even if you source the parts from lithuania, and dont care they are probably "hot" its still pretty pricey to get everything needed for the E39 satnav. And even then its not as good at navigation as a tomtom!. Just looks cooler.
However, the display itself is pretty good, and can be converted into an indash monitor for a "carputer" with a proper software satnav
. If only tomtom would just release "navcore 7" for windows! I would absolutely love to have integrated TomTom navigation, and a hard drive full of 1000 hours of MP3s

Probably run it in to the ground now whilst keeping ontop of servicing and making sure it drives the way it does now for as long as possible.
Probably will try getting a quieter exhaust if a cheap one turns up.

Just service and replace anything that needs doing. Really don't see the point in modding to be honest. I have better things to spend my money on!
Will be replacing my car when I eventually get off my backside and look for a new one in Manchester
Main thing I want to do it get my bike license.

One with a glass screen so that I don't have to keep getting out to chop it when I open it. I've also got a SmarTTop on the way so that I can open and lower it while moving with one quick button press. Having de-tangoed it last month, that's probably all I'll do for the moment although I keep toying with alloy manifolds that keep going cheap on the bay, but I am wary of putting them on the car as I've heard mixed reports as to how good they are. I'm thinking you get what you pay for.
Does no one else think they look like amputees in top hats?
My plans for upgrade, buy a new car first.
I'm looking into a lot of different VAG.
