Just spent the past three hours cleaning my car, now i've just started it up at the rev's jump straight up to 2k rpm and then climb to 3k rpm. The exhaust and engine are violently shaking, and it's got a serious case of the splutters!! The car moves, as i've rocked it back and forth in gear, but...
Bugger....thats tomorrow scuppered then.

Needs to go to renault for...
Being straped into the seat with a harness is safer imo as you can't move!
Mark, car is looking very sweet, love the seat. Whats the use of the afr for? :o
How and Want do i need/use to make my engine matt black like andys here?
