I must be mad!! Somebody stop me!!!!!!
« on: 14 December 2018, 11:32:52 PM »
I can't seem to stop buying bits and pieces for my boy (by "My boy", I don't mean my son...although he seems to demand loads of things too. I mean the Aero!).

Just acquired, for a very good price, a set of rear brake calipers that I intend to send off to Big Redd to refurb, so that at some point, I can change all the calipers in one go!!

I'm still waiting for a driver's side front wing in 170 black that I ordered at the same time, to replace the slightly rusty and poorly repaired one on the car at the moment!!

This is to add to the folding wing mirrors, the 314mm front discs, pads, back plate and refurbed big calipers, and front splitter I have yet to paint!!

What else does Jet, my 56 reg Aero deserve?

(I can just see the Missus rolling her eyes again :D )

Pah, that's nothing, I have a more serious version of the same disease having taken sympathy on four 9-5s in the past month or so  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I know I will have a drivers wing going spare eventually, but it's not for a Dame Edna

If you want to get ambitious,how about a factory sunroof ?

I was wondering about heated seats but not sure if wiring would be there,  and I think I'd need a new climate control panel too.

I'd love to have another 9-5 again too, but the driveway is at full capacity :0

Yes, my new one has that :-)

No more cracking vinyl flashes.

I do intend to do a Noobtune remap at some point, but once everything else is tidied up.

What is a BCB remap and is it better than Noobtune stage 1?

Steve,

You could always look at this as an option. Their stage 1 claims are pretty impressive in my opinion: https://www.brewcityboost.com/product/ecu-upgrade-t8-handheld-3/
