yeah a few daft things
wrong plugs,so missfired
oil leak from oil temp switch
accidentally left a gerber on intercooler,fell off,goodbye cambelt!
new engine (jb's 418bhp one)
got it fitted,wouldnt start,insufficient wiring to fuel pump
fuel rail bolt stripped thread,rail detached,scary moment
broken bd16 camshaft
obliterated diff at santa pod with 36psi boost launch
1 jubilee clip per boost hose not enough for 34psi boost,so started running 2 per
jb had previously bored out sump plug so when i chaged it i couldnt find an appropriate washer,BIG oil leaks!!!!solved with hylomar!
225 tyres on rear wheels (escos rims) got too friendlywith my arches with over 400lb/ft on a launch with std suspension!!!causing me to run "secret spec" tyres for a while(rubbed off all the writing on sidewalls!)
2wd rad NOT a direct fir onto 4wd engine!bodged together some pipes,awesome!
bottom pulley stripped teeth off cambelt resulting in final engine death!!!!
this all happened within 18 months and i have just finished paying off the 10 grand or so i spent on it in that time!!!!!!NOT a cheap car!loll!!!
lots of silly little things went wrong,but stupidly i still want another!
