Got the car back today, and what a difference. With the Evo 8 shocks on the stance is much better but the car has gone from being a matress on wheels to being solid. The new ARB's have obviously helped too. Power is up quite a bit being retuned and it feels superb. I'm a happy man  Now its onto the little things like giving it a good clean out, hoover, polish etc. The colt wheels aint on yet, they look to small with the low profile tyres, so ill swap them over with the current tyres and it should (I hope) look better. My temp gauge has stopped working, so thats another little job ill need to do. |

Car has been off the road for a few months while I got my new house sorted and my garage built. Just taxed it and insured to get it back into use. Ive managed to fix the rear wiper in the meantime but I'm running out of things to do  So, next on the list is: Evo back seats Its running a little rough off turbo, so ill check the pipework etc Replace fanbelt Replace gearbox sump plug Thats about it. With the new garage though, I'm tempted to sell her and get something American. I know it wont be worth a lot compared to whats been spent, but I have a soft spot for an 80's v8 pickup. |

If you do decide to sell her, let me know as it'd be good to have a nice clean one!

The rough running below 2000rpm has stopped. I think it was maybe the old fuel? I put 1/2 tank of Vpower in her tonight and took it for a spin and all seems to be fine. I forgot how nuts the 4ws feels, always suprises me on the first sweeping corner I put a dod of seafoam in with the fuel too. I'll keep my eyes open for a cheap evo back seat, but I might also enquire as to how much I'm looking at to sort some of the bubbling. It had a respray at some point and in general its a good job, but the rear spoiler corners and the top of one wing is bubbling. |

Withdrawn from sale Anyways, in for a MOT today and passed. Picked up a few advisories but nothing bad. A few corroded brake pipes and some minor corrosion underneath. Ive left her in to get it all done though Was tempted to but a bigger battery in the boot, and my good mechanic at The Garage had everything I needed, but thought better of it. I spent enough on the race battery/charger/cage already, so might as well leave it. It had a minor drip from the gearbox oil and this is being done too. I thought it was the sump plug, but it needed a new ring in one driveshaft. So, itll be back with me in a day or two. |
