fixed one oil leak from the oil filter housing cap (replaced cap) after trying to replace the metal housing with a screw on filter - would bypass the filter so pointless

still got a oil leak, suspect rear crank seal, going to redo the sump again soon, just to make sure isnt that, then might be taking the box out soon

oh a the quailty roose coolant hose has a split already

not even under any load/angle

nice one warren... that's a pretty good results (especially the torque) considering the current spec. Good basis for the future.

Should easily still do low 9's at nurburg.

dont think so, cars a hand full to drive, pulls all over the road, got to adjust camber, rears are .7 degrees difference, front are about -1.1 vs -1.9

which doesnt help things

currant gearing, 90mph in 4th, then 5th is just wank as wide ratio gear

cant be torque steer? is dead even (from 2nd gear) with a 150bhp corsa C with just lightened flywheel, cams, 4-2-1 manifold and a remap - standard inlet

so all the money on throttle bodies and is no diffent to a z18xe on standard inlet

oh and possible head gasket going - was some brown muck in the top of the coolant cap,

so todo list

Fit bumper and arches/shit sheilds
remove sump and reseal, change oil
if doesnt cure oil leak, gearbox out and rear crank seal replace
re bleed brake - feel spongy
wire in EPS so works

can i realy be bothered.....

Thats not too bad I get 250ish miles to a tank (same size as corsa) when I am driving in a normal manner (fun bursts cruising and bit of traffic)
300-320 only comes into play on runs and grandad mode
