After someone suggesting it sounds like the manifold, I’ve been under the car this morning! Manifold seems good, and the flexi is in good condition. No blows from the exhaust it there was a pretty rusty clamp just after the car so I replaced this with a mikalor clamp. Seemed a little sluggish...

My cars induction note seems to have changed this evening! Also feels a little sluggish and pops and bangs on downshifts driving normally when it previously only didn’t it occasionally when pushing on. It does almost sound like it blows a little under load when passing stationary objects with...

So just a few dats under four months from ordering my wheels they arrived…….and thy have sent the wrong pcd :censored: waiting to here back now first thing Monday to see how soon they can sort out the correct ones. And on the way home I feel like the induction noise has deepend slightly, and...

So on Friday I took the day off and dropped my car off at Birchdown Auto services for some routine maintenance. Whilst there they gave the car a once over and gave it a clean bill of health. Since collecting the car it idles much quieter and smoothly, and the problems I was having seem to...

The more I drive it, the more i think it feels sluggish higher up the rev range too! Having the belts done on Friday so will see if they can find anything whilst it’s there.

@DS197 il check it when I get chance! Then maybe try a new lamba sensor if there’s no improvement! No fault codes coming up when I scan it though. Cheers

@burrellbloke it’s not really a flat spot that’s the issue, seems to really kangaroo occasionally on gear changes

So over the last month or so I’ve started to notice my car kangarooing, mostly under low revs in second. The cars had a new genuine PCV valve, genuine map sensor held in place with a cnc bracket in the last few months and come backs with no fault codes when scanned. Anything else I should check...

Lovely car, like the choice of mods :blush: did you stick with the OEM throttle body when you fitted the intake manifold as I know they offer a slightly larger option!

It does indeed! Was planning a trip to The Festival of Speed in June with my mate, but he can’t make it now so I’ve decided to use the holidays and money wisely and booked into EFI to have the car mapped. I know there are no real power gains to be had l, but I’m hoping for the car to behave...

Top work @Paul_D , always very rewarding saving parts :thumb:

Got the Ktec induction kit fitted this evening. Will be looking to get the car mapped in the next few months, hopefully this will help it breath a little better.

She’s been treated to new genuine Oil & filter, Spark plugs and pollen filter this week! And the induction kit arrived yesterday, so will get this fitted tomorrow evening hopefully.

Had the car on a Hunter system a few weeks back and properly aligned, handling lovely again now. Also received a email informing me there had been a delay in manufacturing for my wheels, and the expected date is now the end of April. Fingers crossed they turn up then. To ease the pain of the...

Looking good :hearteyes:

Cheers @joehodges154 :thumb:

Car is driving lovely again now after an alignment. There is not much else going on at the moment as me and the Mrs got the keys to our new home last week, so a lot of my free time is taken up at the moment! New wheels have an eta of the end of the month so will be all quiet till they arrive...

Nothing exciting to report, just had a new n/s steering rack joint, and booked in for an alignment on Saturday.

Currently got a Scorpion Exhaust fitted to my 197 with the slash cut tips as the other option looked abit small in my opinion! As they bolt on I wondering if anyone had swapped the tips on there’s for anything else? Thanks in advance

What else is there to do in the middle of the worst storm for 32 years…….. Remove the wiper, much cleaner imo. Used a kill all wipers kit, great quality once it finally turned up.
