Well.........
Got the car out the garage last night, and there was "a noise".... You know the noise....that one that doesn't sound right, doesn't sound normal, but you aren't quite sure whats wrong!
After a quick facetime session with Mr Rob, and numerous texts to Mr Dave, I decided to drive to Charlies anyway and see what was what.
Well as the drive progressed the noise got louder, and louder, and the car got slower, and slower, so driving off boost all the way was my safe method.
Got to Charlie's, and after Dave plugged in it showed some unhappy timing advance.............whatever that is! ha ha
Charlie got in, revved it once, and both Dave and Charlie instantly realised I had blown gaskets on the up-pipe, or manifold.
I coaxed the car back home, and have now ordered up every gasket to ensure I can replace all of them so as to be safe.
Hopefully its nothing more than a gasket and not a hole in the up-pipe or something more serious e.t.c. Shouldn't be the turbo to Up-Pipe gasket as that was brand new two weeks ago when the turbo was fitted.
So after feeling sorry for myself, and ordering the gaskets, I decided to order up a few more parts:
Rear Trailing Arm bolt kit
Rear Lateral Link Bolt Kit
RCM Baffle Plate to go with my RCM Baffled Sump
This should then be all the parts needed to get my gaskets sorted, rear drop links, rear control arms, rear trailing arms all replaced, and get the RCM Baffled Sump and Baffle Plate installed, RCM 11mm Oil Pump, Cosworth Timing Belt Kit fitted, new water pump, and another oil change done.
All hopefully before 15th July when I might finally get to Charlie's and get the car on the Dyno, probably to only find out im getting 355bhp not 380bhp
That is all.........For now......
