400 mile round trip

Well did a 400 mile round trip today and the car performed really well for its first major outing with the new engine and manual box, what a difference in performance overall compared to my old engine and slush box:w00t:

 

I have a couple of niggles to iron out, but nothing major, so in all very happy.

 

The biggest niggle is the steering rod scoring slightly from the manifolds O2 blank, so need to address that one, probably with a hammer :wink:

 

My rear tyres are unevenly worn, ie the pass rear tread is lower than the drivers side so getting little road/bearing type noise at around 80mph and my exhaust is still touching the rear valance and under body. Im going to remove the centre tunnel brace, which will hopefully eliminate most of the zorst hum through the body.

 

Getting a slight clutch bearing noise with the clutch released, which is annoying cos its brand new, maybe needs a bit more lube :ohmy:

 

And the usual squeaky clutch pedal spring, defo some lube on that.

 

Cheers

    You too mate, shame i couldnt get there earlier cos of the traffic and then the bloody kids in tow, after a long journey the little one was getting a bit restless.

     

    Yours is going to look great, i hope you manage to get it all ready for JAE, look forward to it.

     

    Cheers

    That's great news Graham - I assume you came over to the mainland then as you'd never do 40 miles let along 400 on the Island.....

     

    .....I'm over there myself next week mate...!
