What did you do in the garage yesterday?
Discussion
Put suspension unit on the green chim, removed rear callipers as they had stuck on the discs and fitted a set of Imolas.
Engaged much muscle power and pushed it into the garage now vacated by Mr 5.5.
Now lots of work to prepare car for selling.
After leaving the car outside for about 3-4 months, (under a half cover until the storm!) I can't believe how everything degrades!
All the alluminium oxidises, huge rust on discs and the whole car looks neglected.
How some of you guys keep your P & J outside all year....................it must be a constant battle to keep on top of things!

Nothing yesterday but today.
Eager to sort my ongoing rattle at the rear when going over uneven surfaces I turned up at the GAZ factory at Basildon at 7.50am.
After a test drive I left the car with them to put on the ramp and work their magic with the coil overs.
I retired to one of their offices and carried on my work at a desk provided and drank copious amounts of their tea.
Five hours later they had stripped the dampers, changed this and that, dynoed them, refitted, fettled, fiddled and tried to sort what I had insisted was a fault with their product.
Finally I test drove the car and the noise was still at the rear. Guess what, they had fitted a new set of GAZ Golds and the noise was still there!!!!!!!!!!!!
GAZ 10,......phazed, a fat zero.........
I apologised for wasting their time and asked what the damage was, £. They just smiled and sent me on my way, cheers Mark
Rattling still there, f

Richard, I think most 450‘s wouldn't be anywhere near 275 with just a smooth bore kit. You must have a very fit engine.
I've got a week off from work in a couple of weeks and think I'll be paying a visit to Surrey Rolling Road to get my actual numbers.
