No major updates yet! Done about 120 miles in it and its smoking quite abit according to my mates so ive got some stop smoke stuff to put in with an oil change to try and make it better.
Could be stem seals but my mate did them when he owned it! Although theres no reason why they couldnt go again?!
Not gonna worry too much as it runs ok just need to keep an eye on oil levels.

On another note im hopeing to run it up the strip at PVS and going to book a track day later in the year!
Main things to sort before then is wheel alignment and get the engine temp gauge working

Not good news!
Car went in for an MOT last weekend and failed on a few small things like, horn not working, one brake caliper binding, but the main one was dence blue smoke comming from exhaust! I havnt got the money to throw at it to get it sorted for PVS so i will be missing the shows this year!
Spoke to my mates and we plan to get it stripped down to inspect the damage and hopefully get it sorted for my track day on 24th august, where i will trailer it there
We suspect worn bores but the good thing is theres no knocking or anything sugesting the engine will go bang so hopefully ive cought it at the right time!
Il get some updates once we start work on the car,it gives me just shy of 3 months untill the track day so fingers crossed it will get done without being too much of a rush

Still runs absolutely fine tbh just the smoke issue! Was hopeing it would go through the MOT with no probs as i just had enough £ to MOT,tax and insure it for another year and this was the decideing factor coz of the extra time and £ to sort it

It is a shame Darryl but not all bad!

Im looking on the bright side that i can get it sorted before anything bad happens and i can improve a few things along the way and it will probs cost me the money il save from not insuring it for another year so i wont be losing out to much!

Not a massive update but somethings better than nothing lol

Rolled the car out of the garage the other day and gave it a wash and wax as it was covered in alot of dust and was dirty from when I was driving about earlier in the year.

I have plenty of plans for the car which im going to do as and when I have the time and money. I plan to make PVS my first show/event next year so ive got plenty of time realy, im sure it will fly by though!

A small list of things I plan to do:

1. Rest of the interior bits flocked black.
2. New brake caliper as one is binding, the other one was replaced last year.
3. Engine out to have block honed and all checked over with new gaskets etc.
4. Clean up engine bay, maybe paint to freshen it up.
5. Other engine related bits like Oil cooler, oil catch tank, heat wrap manifold, ducting for brakes and throttle bodies.
6. Last bits are small things that dont work, temperature gauge, horn, interior lights, radio etc all simple things im sure but will take time to do.

Picture after a clean and also my first purchace which is some new Clocks with a rev counter
