It's outside again. Wanted to see if I'd fixed a few things:
- Idle
- Oil leak
Needless to say - I've fixed neither :( could be worse.

New issue: (FFS)
- clunk when turning the wheel when stationery, sounds like the spring is making a massive twang!
Suspect this is the top...
Evening,
I've never used exhaust wrap before, but freshly wrapped a manifold (not particularly well) and started the car today.
It smoked pretty constantly, which I expected a little. But it didn't stop. The first header, which is the shortest (right) is showing discolouration. I think a...
I'm sure SOUP classic motoring has been mentioned on here before, if not - check it out.
His latest video I watched with surround sound and it was one of the most cinematic car restoration videos I've ever watched! Wasn't intentional either. It doesn't seem to matter what the content is with...
He wasn't the only one. The scene for Saxos and 106's was very 'estate'.
It's easy to say and by no means do I class this as rare, but because of the above abuse & rot, there aren't many left. 336 road going Quiksilvers out there, if that website means anything.
mini-rant: EVERYTHING on this car is broken or bodged. I expected most things would be, but its silly things now. You've seen it above, but its constant. It's annoying me now. Every little thing takes ages, when it looks straightforward. sigh.

Wondering if you can offer some guidance as to what I'd need and what I'd need to do. The mission is to clean & detail a silver car.
Some parts have been freshly painted, but the parts that haven't - have been exposed to the elements and in my opinion, look a little yellowish.
The front wing...
What's the build etc? Is there a rush?
I've seen all sorts used, doesn't matter what it's from as long as it works.
Cooper s ones are a tenner off eBay. I have a spare if you need one quickly.
220 is borderline low boost! What turbo?!
PM if you want.
There's a couple of different ones that work, cant remember if they need driver's or not, but Wayne knows.
One of mine runs a Mini cooper S map sensor and the other runs a cosworth 3 bar. Both have different connectors based on which loom you have. The cooper s one is only a bar above...
Hope you're all fit and healthy in these unprecedented times.
Not had a great deal of time to work on this, but still plodding along, ticking things off and then adding to the list.
I bought some new exhaust wrap, decided to remove the old stuff and give it a go. For some reason, forgot this...
Nearing the finish line now :)
I've been ill & the weather has been crazy, so not much happened for a couple of weeks.
However, I did fit the 'replacement' boot door - which is fcking worse than the original one. The seller neglected to mention the spoiler was attached using bathroom sealant -...
