Theres not really much to update on actually.

Used he car on track at jdmcombe which ran well on the day only to find an exhaust blow when driving it back home.

Stripped the core off it to find 7 of the exhaust manifold nuts were loose so retorqued them up. The blow is better but its still there.
There is another nut right underneath as its the 9 hole version which i just cant reach so i suspect its coming from there.

So at the moment its just sat in my garage for the last 3 weeks as i went away on holiday.

In a moment of madness and the fact i just got bored of it, i also put the car on swapz to see what i get offered for it.

Ive contacted a few specialists to see if they can sort the blow out and tbh not many have got back to me or actually took over a week to get back to me which left me with no confidence to hand the car over to them....lets face it, if a buisness cant answer a simple email quickly then how long is my car gonna be with them and in what sort of hands?

So at the moment everything is on the back burner with it. Ive just got a bit sick of it all and tucked it away for now.

Some major preventative work is to be carried out....

See PART TWO on separate thread....
