Well with just over 7 weeks to go what have people go to do before PVS? 7 weeks can either seem a long time away or like its tomorrow and at the moment it seems like its tomorrow for me 
Left to do is:
Remove engine
Rebuild top half of engine
Paint engine bay
Fit silicon hoses
Touch up scratches and chips
Tidy up interior
Renew tax
Renew insurance
Seal exhaust as its blowing
Replace all my dash bulbs that dont work
New number plates
Waxoyl front crossmember
Doesnt sound like a lot but in between working and other commitments its going to be a squeeze!
Are you ready for PVS or is there a mountain of things left to do?

Just generally tidy up a few bits and bobs here and there. Not going for anything major yet as it'll be my first PVS. So basically, spray boot and fit spoiler again, alloys, exhaust maybe, find a black 5 door parcel shelf

Cheap enough? Just check the offset and your away. Scene people dont realise BMW rims fit aswel 
Nic why arent you going? Its like the biggest vauxhall day of the year where you can do straight line drag (the thing you like doing) and youre not going? Why?

£25 is too much? Compared to how much you spent on your car £25 is too much? i thought you would have loved the chance to beat everyone including middle aged men in monaro 500's

25 quid for 3 runs is a fuckin joke. would cost me easily 150 quid or more for a weekend. just aint worth it. i aint earn pop star wages. dont have cash to splash about.
