Finally got round to getting the shaft changed.

Old one, proper fooked!



This also seems to have cured some of the whine ive presumed to have been diff at low speeds.

Shes filthy, but shes running sweet

Not much has been happening. Just driving her and annoying other motorists ha!

My throttle cable snapped a few nights ago. Had to drive her home on the clutch. Used the slack to repair. It never occured to me to actually take any photos when i had all the inlet off showing the pump. But DPUK is sending out a new cable so ill get some pics when i fit the new one

I live a mile from the diesel tuning place you used. Small world.

Awesome car as well.

Very small world!

Thanks bro!

New cable arrived yesterday. So this morning i whipped the inlet off and got to it.



You can see the cable fraying slightly. Hence why ive fitted a replacement. Also lots of slack from my half assed attempt at fixing it last time. I adjusted it all properly this time so i now have full throttle movement and a tight cable with no slack.

this needs lowering so badly.

only think letting it down is the arch gap

Its on the long list of things to do!

Something ive been tinkering with the center air vent. They only ever blow cold and with no A/C its pretty useless.
I used the ends of the front fascia and some abs plastic to make a mouting area for a boost and egt gauge. I will eventually dip it in carbon like the rest of the trim when i have the gauges in.

Officially up for sale.

Very hard to put a price on these things so open to offers.

I can only echo the advert and reiterate that you need to see this car in person and have a passenger ride.
