Thanks dude :)


Well frustrating today, because once again the exhaust is starting to blow. If the sound of a blowing exhaust wasn't so annoying, it'd be ok! Its that join where downpipe meets zaust. The sleeve isn't sat central, its much more to one side, so not enough overlap on the other side causing a weak join. Thought I'd sorted it, but not this time!

Interior work probs. Get recaro's in and spray the red bits black. I wanna redo the bay from scratch tbh, but thats one of those "one day in the future when its off the road" type things.

Other than that, maybe get these splits on.

Quick update.

Here's a few piccies taken yesterday, on my phone:







Then had a quick look underneath, check it out.



Can see why I have a slight issue with its handling:





Then back together:




The issue I have is when I turn right, its gets to a point and it turns "more" right by itself. Hard to explain. If I'm turning right, even slightly, and go on/off throttle it pulls "more" right then jumps back left. Weird.

I think its down to tracking and it being pretty low. After driving out to take these pics today, across the moors, I got frustrated cause I couldn't really drive the car like I wanted to. I want to wind it up like 30/40mm and see if it makes it better to drive. If it does, then it changes everything! No more laying frame and more fun!

Its a hard decision haha. Need to get my splits done!!!

Then next steps would be better suspension and a cage.

My mate suggested turn it into the warthog out of Halo, tempting :D
