well skidding day went well at first despite finding out by way of dripping that our petrol tank isnt too shit hot!
did some good drifting on the lockstops balancing it on the throttle nice at times. then tom had about 4 runs one after the other.
after that the clutch pedal started with a sence of humour having an intermittent pedal then no pedal. looking under the bonnet there was no fluid left! on topping it up and not being arsed to get under the car and bleed it up we had half a pedal.
i then did a couple of runs and monstered it gave it some abuse! linked the course for about 4 laps, really got into it. was well chuffed with myself. exhaust sounds great too!
on the plus side the engine with the new motronic installed ran like a german watch was perfect lots on grunt revs lovely.
looks like wiz0r has a good s/h fuel tank for me, so thats good.
but ill have to get my hand in my pocket for a new master and slave cyl. for the clutch tho.
after pissing around with the car trailer this time having to do 50mph there and back 200 odd miles due to my touring just plain towing too much weight.
weve decided that were guna tax/test/insure it and drive it to drift days! cus itll just be easier and more fun! unsure when this will be happening yet cus i need to sort the tank and clutch out
it needs more welding to the front anti roll bar mounts for an mot too.......and i need to work out where to put a rear number plate!!
