Just got back from Austec Racing. They carried out a 30-min inspection of Samy. Had booked 2-hours but didn't take that long.

Worn engine mounts and steering ujs plus bushes. Other than that, a solid base.

Adjustable Koni suspension. Stainless brake hoses up front. Nice bonus. Exhaust, downpipes and manifolds unlikely to last long though. Maybe 12-months. I'll start the Plusgas now!

Probably get Austec to fix the steering and engine mounts.

They changed a broken vacuum hose FOC.

New HT leads, dist cap and rotor arm made a big difference too.

Informal sound test inside the garage - 85db. Samy is off to Oulton - as long as the above work gets done.

Austec were great. Sociable, chatty and knowledgeable. Hopefully they can fit in the repairs in time.

Nice to meet you too. It'll be nice to see your S at some point.

Samy has her cap on now so hopefully a lot less water ingress.
