Little trip to Auto silicone Hoses after work tonight, some 19mm ID oil hose and we're back up and running.

Hang on.. so your oil return works just fine with a bit of silicone hose? What clamps are you using? HOW does oil not seep out??

Ah.. thank you

Test fit of the wheels I got off Matt Lee , still running a 20mm spacer in the rear and 15mm in the front (or 15mm and 10mm, I can't remember lol) 17" in the rear and 16" in the front gives me space to run my big brake kit and brings mw to 4 sets of wheels now 🤦🏼

House move is in full swing and getting stuff into storage at minute, starting with the important stuff.



 
😂

So house move has happened....some long old days ahead.

Bit started with the important stuff 

[Topdownman]

Not at all jealous (but not of all the work ahead)! Good luck.

Car has been in storage since moving, went there yesterday to sort a few bits for the MOT.

I'd also overtightened the throttle body stop screw and it had loosened off, so the car was stalling in traffic.

Got that sorted and let it idle for 30 mins, went to start it up again, battery was goosed.

So a new battery then MIT time next week.

Finally, long awaited she is back in her new home. Collected from MOT today after a new wheel bearing.

Still scares the shit out of me on full chat.

DIY alignment next, then some summer miles.

A few hours out mapping tonight and checking logs.

Peak boost is 27psi.

The budget rear tyres I've currently got on 215/40R17 aren't upto the task at all.

Wheelspin in 3rd on a number of occasions was certainly a wake up. 

So I'm on the look out for some new rubber.

Car is amazing, I'm genuinely back in love with it.

[Chilli Girl]

That's good news to hear.

Out mapping yesterday, had to increase my fuel cut to 305 kpa as it was cutting a little.

Met another Sable Grey whilst I was out a lovely K24 Frank conversion.

Car is dying for an alignment next and new new tyres. I've got a set of used Avon ZZR's to go on.

Had a little fuel starvation when the car got below 1/4 tank, so either I need to keep it topped up or look at a swirl pot.

Might try and do my own alignment this afternoon if I've got time.
