scottravenhill Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Ok even thought she is hurt at the mo I did her proud yesterday, oe cambelt n aux belt, oil n filter. Bit of an insurance policy on the engine really, so I've still got a bit of value left in her. Sadly I think she has come to the end projectwise, even though progress was slow. I don't know yet if she will be broken, I would love to keep her for track use, but that is probably just dreamin, I don't have any way of getting her to the track!

philgor Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 you can get a track day ready car thought a mot quite easy, because everything you do to turn it in to a track day car, well exceed's the standered of an mot, the only issue i can think of would be the cat, unless you can find a friendly mot tester....

scottravenhill Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 well after an annoying couple of days of her revving on her own, she has decided to stop doing it now... I havent done anything to stop it, gona check oil in a bit as im wondering if an overfill could cause this? as i changed the oil a couple of days previous to the problem starting.
