I was out late last night, well early 'am' to be fair, and bearing in mind the old girl has had issues until recently, and, with all of the above work/coils/brakes/exhaust etc, it is now running really rather well, I thought it might be time to clear the old girls throat... Just a little bit, you understand..... Well anyway, it confirmed the old girl is indeed in rather rude health again, and the 'near linear' acceleration curve is indeed 'near linear' in each gear, including 6th until 'ones' bottle runneth dry on't, public turnpike...
Its really good stuff only 1 problem I found is that after it drys it looks great and then within a few months it seems to dry and crack so it may be worth giving it another coat in a months time.... You can get some big 4rse cans of it from Bennetts. They were about the only place i could find it. Its not by Waxoyl either but in an idustrial looking blue and grey can. i have enough to do another few cars quite thickly I think.... Am going to do the avant at some point once the head is back together (hopefully over the next few weekends I miss the car so much!)
Erm, parked the rallycar in the very same slot after a rampant run back from Sunseeker, where it was running some fancy additives and the war department parked the S2 up behind it... Not thinking I gave it a bit of a *cough* blip, and it belched 'a bit' of fire... Fortunately the sooty scorch mark cleared off... Mostly...
Well, fitted up the undertray ready for winter, which was less of a challenge than I thought. I imagined the bigger oilcooler might be an issue, but with a bit of adaption it went on all okay....
And when I say ' cracking sound' for the full twin box, 3" turbo back Miltek, it does have to be put into context....
Here's a quick clip of the Ur and the S2 on cold start this morning... And, erm, its pretty hard to hear the S2....
The new exhaust is costing me a fortune...., not only are the windows now permanently stuck wide-open, but also the car appears to be stuck in first or second gear and with random bursts of violent acceleration next to walls, churches, shops, totty or other random objects.... Fuel economy has been ruined, the kids refuse to go anywhere unless its in the S2 and the dog can now identify the car from 300yds away....
