Gave it a clean and took some pics.











You can see attached to rocker cover is the ISV, which i will be plumbing in soon after modifting the megasquirt with the right components.

I Seem to have a problem with knocking on the front end. Sounds like something to do with the driveshaft. A quick look underneath showed nothing obvious. At first i thought it could be rubbing on a heatsheild, but bending it out of the way has changed nothing. Noise sounds like something is about to break  Only seems to be at low speeds. Further investigation needed.

congratulations on the MOT, been an excellent build.

Was the car making the noise before you washed it? I have a theory that they break only when they've just been washed or or have a full tank of fuel...

I thought the noise would disappear if I washed it. 

It wasnt there before it went off the road. I only seemed to have happened since lowering the front a bit more. I'll look further into it this week.

Could be one of your balljoints? Had one go on the mk4 and it knocked over bumps and stuff.

Wasn't obvious it was that until someone stuck a prybar in there and basically moved it all around.

It's not that type of noise. Its not to do with bumps. It's a rotational thing. I'm thinking inner cv joint as the knocking seems to quieten when wheels are turned. When the engine is driving the wheels it's not there either. Only slow speed coasting is when I here it most ie when slowing at a junction. Not brake related either.

I had a noise like this and it was a front strut top nut ever so slightly loose? Great work work on the car though dude, it looks amazeballs
