Janspeed fitted, running well. Videos of that; Also had an issue where the rear damper mount rotted underneath where it was near impossible to see. The mount came through the boot mid-corner. Thanks to a strut brace and beam axle though, disturbance was minimal and I was able to nurse it...

Is there a map of where we are yet? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Took the sump off again, played about with rubber strips and sorted it out. Sealed properly and everything's all OK now. Had a JanSpeed stainless system delivered. Manifold, downpipe, Sports Cat, midpipe and backbox. Fitted it this evening, however got an issue with the Lambda Sensor hole not...

This past weekend I did some more stuff. Fitted rear BSR Coilovers. GAZ Bodies and components, re-valved to suit the K11. Went fairly smoothly, took an afternoon overall. I painted the threaded bodies with a sort of waxoyl type preservative. It dries to a tacky wax and has served the fronts...

Ah whoops. First is already gone. Still got my second. How do people pass with 421's and stuff then? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As well as the first? Well that is certainly interesting... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Second cat removal would likely fail the MOT but I'm not 100% on that. It would probably be louder, more powerful again but also lose more torque low end. With exhaust systems it's important to try and keep the internal diameter the same all the way through - this is why 4-2-1 manifolds work...

@Zazee I think with the cat out it sounds meatier and burblier, with it being pretty deafening at some revs/gears, loud spot at about 5,000rpm in 2nd and 3rd and quietens back down after that. Must be something to do with harmonics. Gained a bit of top end speed, but definitely lost a bit of...

Long time since an update! Where to start... Here's my oil drain plug from the gearbox pre-clutch change, furry! This is what it looks like clean The next pic is of the very corroded and totally seized dowels which put up a serious fight! I also smashed the cat out of the manifold...

Tickets booked and paid for, girlfriend confirmed off work. Just need to buy a new air mattress now, since the pet rabbit has chewed through it!

Please add me in. I'm bringing a +1 too.

I'd like to come, never been to an MSC Event before. Can I bring a friend? What's it like, what's planned? Do we camp out, get drunk and eat badly barbecued food? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes that^ (Mine doesn't leak oil, it sweats power)

If you service it while out of the car I'd recommend sump removal to wipe out any sludge :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes it fouls as soon as you take up the slack and start to actually apply pressure to the clutch. When I first started the car it was grating then, even in neutral with no clutch. Now it seems that part has grated or bent out of the way, and it only does it on clutch movement. Sent from my...

The haynes says spring hub outwards, and it's definitely fitted that way. Nightmare if it isn't! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey you're here and trying and that's half the battle! I think if I just rev it enough and carefully grind the clutch into it in "bursts" to allow things to cool not much can go wrong. I used a part-worn clutch so that owes me nothing, and I have a spare flywheel. If worst comes to the...

Pretty sure it's the thin black metal sandwich plate mate :) Because the dowels were badly corroded we did smash it up a bit with various levers and chisels and so on :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Short youtube vid of the terrible racket - which interestingly only happens now when the clutch is pressed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good news - engine starts and runs. Took motor off and bench tested it to work a few things out. Did away with the blade earth terminal and it worked. Simple. Bad news - makes a terrible noise. Part of the engine/box sandwich plate is bent and grinding on the flywheel teeth. Tempted to just...
