update

hose fixed and sorted what a son of a bitch ! dont change this with engine in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 hours with a ramp !!!!!!!!!!!


also when the car was on the ramp i gave it a once over :( not too good

split in centre box bottomed out to many times needs line of weld
front tires close
rear o/s disk worped lol thats milton keynes at race pace even get the backs glowing lol
front n/s caplier siezed a little bit i wonder if this is because was sat like 18 months with out ebc yellows in and sliders shitty so thats first port of call
disks dont look 100 % either so think news disks and pads all round and capliers looking at and all sliders cleaing after japfest
also top rear engine mount bolt ( gone ) lol so new one in there and bolt under it needed a few extra turns


but now throttle cable sticking aswell but been at work since 3am so will be looking at that tomorrow when i clean the car if there is any point in this weather


i have also found my broken / damaged carbon fibre fuel flap :) not many people with these so hoping to get it repaired and on for weekend with other new editions


so not all bad as pipe fixed but least i know a few things before its mot next month

raer disc warped?? thats gotta be a sticking caliper, they dont even get that much use. mine are all brand new everything (260 calipers, discs, pads) on the rear and still only gave 25% on the mot

well i broke it again but i fixed it now


the breather on the bacl of the block to the catch can was kinda lashed together which i didnt know about , the core plug had a hole drilled in it and a straight connector held in with liquid metal , and after my run with my ep3 it built up a bit of pressure and blew the liquid metal clean out along with the oil all over the manifold , rack , and bulk head , i was driving my mate the stigs blad cousin home slowly when we heard what sounded like a bolt dropping or a stone , but later guessed it to be the liquid metal but we was only 2 miles from his when his went so didnt think any thing of it and kept driving it his then popped the bonnet and worked out what had gone on

i ordered a oil coooler feed plug from a s2k which is perfect for the job as just screws in and oil feed out , but its back together and fixed now , this could of gone so bad if it dropped to much out or lost all pressure or spun a shell again


but it seems to of been saved again

well its def working tonight and it must of had race me on the bumper as i was on my way to the cinema and everyone was trying it but the sol seemed to put up a hard fight and won

that green rs again .......... then a red s2k ( s2kuk ) as plate i think mugen bumper too looked nice the guy was smiling laughing and nodding as i out breaked him and carried on going , then a 306 gti tried and failed , then a e30 m3 evo couldnt hold my lines or exits from round abouts so left him , then his mate in a nice blue astra vxr give it a go but this was fast ! he kept coming faster then me on straights between circles alot faster but not carrying the exit speed so keep him behind till i turned left to my exit



also the rear toe is really out on my car and noticale now the back likes to dance alot more i can control it and still carry speed but i need 4 wheel aliment doing so lose this issue on the back, no bushes are worn thinking maybe pot hole or something could of throw this out but any good places too go?

and i also need to replace a track rod end as completey screwed think this could also be having a affect on steering at higher speeds
