got it back the other day, not allowed to take it over 4.5k for 1000 miles, and not allowed to let it sit and idle, but was told i can drive it normally :)

just a bugger i can't use all the revs, 200 miles down already though :P

only problem i have now is head unit wiring is screwed, plus the oil light will not stop flashing, it's flashed ever since i've had the car, all the oil pressure switches have been changed and the pressure is bang on in both the head and the bottom end, so there's nothing actually wrong with it, i think that the person i bought it off has mucked up the wiring when they put a pb engine in it, as it originally had a kjet.

spoke to a a big auto electrical company today and they said they won't touch it cause of the age... now i'm at a loose end as to what to do! :(

on a brighter note i back to blacked all the trim and fitted my undamaged front splitter, pics to follow when the bloody weather clears up  :laugh:
