This is the best use for red tops. They were well a head if their time. Sadly overtaken by K20's and Duratecs now.

Brundle came across at a bit of a melt in his..

Since this has been on axel stands for a few weeks, thought I’d try to start it.... Fired up first time! Leaking PAS line taken off it, what a fucker that was, now have to wait for lock down to end so I can take the line to be fixed!

Cheers guys. Will look for something with 16gb ram and a 1080ti then.

Guys I'm looking to get a rig for Sim racing. With the eventual end goal being VR. Whats the minimum in specs I'd need for that kind of set up. A few people saying a 1080i isn't enough? Current suggestion is: 4ghz+ quad core 12gb ram >1080ti

I've been looking into this more and more. Will probs go the PC route for it. Mainly so I can add cars into Assetto Corsa. Looking at a G29 with pedals. Then doing the load cell conversion to the brake pedal (about £100), and moving the brake spring to the clutch and the clutch spring to the...

MSS’ have to be the one of the poorer performance tyres ever. PS4/PS4S’ are far better, even when they shouldn’t be!

I hoping to make a bit on it though...

Since the arrival of the Aplina this hasn't been used much. Just ordered a new PAS line, so I can finally fix it and get it sold.

All I’ve seen about it. Has to be RWD.

They had it 2 weeks. Luckily it sat outside a lot!

Oh no Landrover start counting the min it moves. Even when it was on a lift with no one working on it, the clock was running....

£150/hour labour and nearly 30 hours of 'fault finding'......

Depends how you view it... Its 2 years old, done 62k miles and averaged 33mpg over that period. It had an issue with rear brakes, local dealer fixed it then told me it wasn’t a warranty fix as I do a fair bit off road... I was presented with a £6300 bill. In the end I paid £800 of it. Other...

Yeah I exported it to Ireland. Now doing track days over there.

Thank you. Its done well then. I'll be able to sell it soon!

No idea what day we are on. It just did London and back in a day, 450 miles. Good car...

I don't get it but I like it.

That’s the plan. I got all the replacement fittings for the pump and low pressure lines from them.

Day 25: Checked PAS fluid, it’s not there.... f**k sake. Of course it had two leaks..... so now I’ve found it... This bit of hose between two hard lines, it’s only 2” ffs!

Day 22: 500 miles done after fixing it and all is fine.... the PAS leak I thought I still had was mainly down to the fact the subframe is hollow and full of PAS fluid from the big leak.... so its all slowly finding its way out. It also makes a weird noise on throttle initially (like belt...

I’m just going to press them in with some epoxy, the map sensor will blow out before they do!

It already has the 4 hole EGR plate. It’s pissing boost out of the swirl spindles, so I don’t think I’ll notice the loss in torque.

Bought a used inlet manifold. Split it open to see the state they get in! Just look at it!! The total inlet should be 48mm, this one was down to 28mm at the narrowest. Also the swirl flap ports which are needed for the cold start are totally blocked! Can’t wait to get this one cleaned up...

Sub 30k now!

Day 17. 200 miles after getting it back on the road and it’s still weaping PAS fluid. Where the f**k is it coming from? Everything, pump, tank and lines, are new! How can it leak? Also the new aux belt is 0.5mm wider than the old one so it rubs on the other belt that passes it. Grrr. Other...

It wasn’t traction limited. I was using it for my commute from London to MK every day. It was doing 34mpg, awesome! But Pin it off the Cranfield junction to the M1 and you’ll be merging at over 160mph. Pull out to pass traffic and you’ll pull in at over 120mph without any fuss. Take it on a...

No good on a track, too fast for the road. Pretty simple. A lot of people driving 170bhp hot hatches didn’t really get it though.
