I'm always surprised just how clean this car is everywhere, credit to the previous owner really   |

Erm so yeah.... one step forwards and many steps back, seems the idle control valve, fuel pump and CAS may be Canoeed... good thing I don't have 3 track sessions booked next weekend... oh wait...
Good news though; before it broke (again) Nick managed to map it to 198whp at actuator pressure, the last engine made 180ish so pretty pleased with that.
Suppose I'll start saving up for a full racing loom... they're only £3k

I thought they were renowned for HG failures(?) which was a shame as they're pretty cars. Sounds fun on throttle bodies though!
Love your plate, BTW |

Love your plate, BTW Cheers dude, hopefully it'll be ready for next weekend. Are you going too? the MG was bought with a failed HG, it's been replaced so good for another 1 maybe 2 miles |

Picked up the car today, it's so nice to get back into it, just need to sort out the harnesses as they're a bit loose. Bring on spring action day, booked in for 11am, 12:45 & 2pm sessions!
Pics and new dyno print when I can get t cleaned.
So new engine is in, new exhaust hangers on, new £20 soft top is on, interior is stripped, it's been mapped to a slightly more sensible power (2whp less). Let's just hope it gets me round spring action day and the NC500 in June/July
