Thanks again people.....  :cool:


After the short run ending with serious exhaust trouble I got underneath and dealt with it, couple of hours of striping the exhaust, sealing and hanger bending, it was all better again but................... then I noticed thick greased sprayed about underneath!  :shocked:  Inner CVJ was coming apart!  none of the bolts were done up! whoops!  :embarassed:  sorted now so took her out for a couple of photos as I am sick of seeing pics of it on the drive.

Drives well considering but sounds like it's consumed a cutlery set!.. Valve clearances need addressing.  Oh and she's very very thirsty, almost like she's drinking enough fuel to make up for the past.  Meh, it's only just begone.  :grin:



Where are the pics then?? :huh: :huh:

Yep..... I'm her sugar daddy again!

The missus said to me tonight, "you done now then for this year? You don't need to do the cosmetic stuff for ages do you, you have all the time in the world...." Hmmimmm, Have to manage my time well now to keep her happy, kind of.  :grin:

So Lemski, mines a Big Tasty Meal please mate.  :laugh:

Some quick pics, sorry about the Red Nose but the missus made me put it on for good luck and thinks I should leave it on as it suits the car, um no. I'll take it off when she's not looking despite the fact it appeared to have worked.  :shocked:

Well done, that's a huge milestone for your project :afro:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
