The rattling drives me insane and despite plenty of attempts to eliminate them they still return.
I always thought that the day I get a little tired of the car I'd just get it mapped to bring the excitement back but I've had it over 2 years now and still haven't got round to it due to various other things getting in the way, be it cosmetic or mechanical maintenance. It seems that every time I'm close something else needs doing which is more important. That's the same with every car though, they all need maintaining and we all know modifying isn't cheap. I've retrofitted genuine xenon headlights and upgraded the suspension which transformed the car but I think I might leave it at that for now.
Sometimes I think spending a bit of time giving it a good clean and taking for a nice drive can make you appreciate it more. I do think it's hard to find a replacement without spending a lot of money.

That's exactly it. Having a 'to do list' and then all the budget going on repairs. I'm not giving up yet though!
