I also got around to giving her a service!
My new philosophy now when it comes to repairs and maintenance now is OEM or better (apart from the FREE shock absorber!) So I ordered Genuine Filters as well as Ecstar Oil, as I couldn't find 0w20 anywhere.
I also swapped out my spark plugs, as I couldn't remember if I'd replaced them since I'd owned the car, and I had what I thought were the correct Denso ones lying around in the shed. I think I got them from Euro Car Parts, never fitted them as the rubber bung that attaches to the end of the lead had gotten stuck and I couldn't get it out.
Of course with further research I discovered they weren't, part №s weren't anywhere near the same, so I ordered the correct ones from eBay (still Denso) and got them fitted.
Good for another Year/10000 Miles!
next I should probably change the gearbox oil.

Finally got around to fitting my JDM steering wheel today! it's only been mounted on my bedroom wall for about a year like some sort of hunting trophy
. Was easy enough following the guide on the wiki and the old steering wheel to grind it to size. Goes well with the stalks I installed the other day too!

Finally got around to replacing my seat base today, it's been crumbling not long after I fitted them.
Next on the mod list may be heated seats...
