Picking up where I left off from last year, its been while since I updated the thread!
Cadwell Park track day came and went but it wasn't without problems... started off with a niggling issue of it not wanting to start somtimes and it cutting out when coming to a standstill prior to the event, on the day I discovered the rad fans wern't working as it got a little warm idleing outside a McDonalds near lincoln
Got to the track ok and the first time out I thumped a kerb quite hard which gave me a whole load of negative camber and screwed the steering for the rest of the day(doh!). Also started from a lack of power too, where it was struggling to rev above 7k rpm and eventually called it day when I got out dragged by a citreon ax of all things down a straight
the lack of grunt turned out to be the least of a problems when the starting gremlins returned and when it came to leave the track it refused to fire up,
Couldent find the
problem and had to order a tow truck and endured the journey from hell back down south where the car and myself graced 3 different flatbeds in the space of 10 hrs - turned out to be a fualty relay that had finally had it.
2009 saw the issue's being fixed and finally bit the bullet and sought out a place in Ashford to make a proper 4-1 exhaust manifold replacing the TSR item thats been on it for the past 2 years. Also deleted the sports cat too, not that there was much left of it
And finally.....
Stumbeld across these 1 yr old 8x17 et30 Compomotive MO's on ebay which went for a stupidly low price, so much so I think the seller musta cried when I handed over the cash!
Even though they were in excellant condition, I was yearning for a somthing a little different from black or white and chose somthing a teeny bit more colorful..........
