Awful!!:(:( The minute she dropped off the trailer in the morning til bout half 2 i had major issues...Wheels rubbing arches,Handbrake,Fuel problems,Major misfiring problems and the list goes on on....Got an awful fright when i found pistons 5 and 6 had a good thick layer of oil on them,was thinking valves or rings but eventually put it down to little o ring rubbers sealing the plug holes from the rocker cover were leaking,sealed them up and had little problems after that,still down on power due to tps sensor acting up or not being set properly,it sticks the throttle which doesnt allow me to rev it,but got bout 5 or 6 runs after dinner,WOW she was running shit and the power is crazy,i love it,she'l link the straights no problem once she's running right. Im delighted with the suspension set up too,solid throughout although must go at my rack cause i dnt have enough lock,easy fix. 3 runs burned €20 of juice and bout 6 runs fairly well fooked a set of brand new 17's... i love it!!all in all happy for her first day out,bring on d-rift in october!!

Had no time for camera unfortunalty but there was a photographer out on track,must find out who it was!!

bout time i updated this....

after two practice days now with the car,both filled with issues....the worst being yesterday when a buckled wheel causes my 4 rear wheel studs to shear,resulting in the wheel saying goodbye and goodluck at bout 50mph slightly sideways!!Burst my spacer into bits & burst rear brake disc into 3pieces...So big push on again to get in the final round of d-rift this weekend...just dropped the car off tonight to get a manifold back stainless steel exhaust made up...its gonna twin decatted 2" pipes going as far as the back axle,joining to 1 with a 5" scorpion rear box...Once i get the car back i must repair the damage to the rear end,sort a few leaks & run a diagnostic and set my tps and idle control screw...that and wire in a speed sensor to the ecu as i think there my main probs for misfiring at the mo....be back soon with pics....

@ ste... if right was right the car should of never went on track this year,but without testing il never know the problems and so on...plus im filtering thru all the problems bit by bit and getting there slowly....that and the itch to go sideways is always there,so il keep trying even though what your saying makes total sense!!:D:D:D

@chuck my bday was yesterday a slowjoe...:P:P:P il still accept it your okay!!:D

Exactly...;):p

Exhausts nearly finished,collecting it tomor evening,and also completed my cosworth kit,so now have a front bumper,skirts and bonnet grilles to go on...:D as these are far more important than a misfiring engine and stuff:o
