Let one out into traffic on Derby Road yesterday morning. Anyone on here?

[DickyP]

Yes, that was me. Thanks for letting me out :->

[RossP]

Nice chimp! I used to have one a bit like that.

[DickyP]

Cheers mate. Only had it a few months and although it's been kept well polished, there hasn't been the required focus on the maintenance so I'm gradually working my way through and getting it up to date and running right...

Mine needed quite a bit of fettling when I got it.

Two mods I can recommend are new suspension - I put Gaz Gold Pro on mine. Transformed the handling.

Also, you could sleeve your rear silencers. Makes it a tad noiser

There's certainly plenty of fettling going on! I'm in the process of sorting the exhaust manifolds at the moment. I refitted them last month to resolve them leaking at both ends (plus a failed lambda on one side), only to find it was still tapping. Took them off again tonight to find they're leaking where the 4 pipes join - should have checked that while I had them off the first time I guess!
I'm finding the suspension fine, if not a little on the hard side... I tend to have my cars with a softer rather than sporty set-up though. I had Koni's on a previous car and had them on the softest setting for the first year lol!
Appreciate the advice.
