Went to Glenn's today, was having issues with my IMRC, wasn't opening at 3k revs as it should, so he stripped down my IMRC, fixed it, and relocated it away from on top of the front bank cam cover where ford put them, and they get very hot, so now, I don't just have torque and no power




Unfortunately, on the way home, I crashed




Looked a bit worse till I cleaned it up, still fuming with myself, instead of going into nuteral at a junction, I dipped the clutch, foot slipped off the clutch, and clipped the car in front




Drove straight to my mates body shop, he looked at it, said he'll fix it as cheap as possible, I still feel like a massive tit though

 

Orrrrrr thats nice of you matey. As said before im gutted to that you crashed it.

 

I'm fuming with myself mate I really am, as you know, it's a real clean straight car, it's never had a panel or paint, it's managed 4 previous owners, 13 years, and 98k miles with out being pranged, I've had it 6 weeks, and pranged it

 

What car hasnt had paint work Fiddy.

The car defo goes better now though.

 

Mine hadn't, till today lol.

And aye mate, there was nothing over 3k, it just made noise and went nowhere, I knew the feeling, one of my mk2's was the same, till you fixed the IMRC on that Aswel lol. There rebound for it, just a bad design from ford, well, bad placement, bolting it to the top of a red hot cam cover isn't there pinnacle of design is it. Thing is, a lot of people don't even know there not working, because the don't throw the EML when there not working like ST170's do, if you didn't know there meant to really pick up at 3k revs, you wouldn't have any idea anything was wrong

 

Typical, solve one problem then you end up with another
what is it, mondeo v6?
