Sorry to hear it Listy. You must have an almost brand new car now with all the bad luck you've been having and replacing parts left, right and centre.  Also disappointing that we only have half a season because of the track upgrades; so every track day is precious.

Sorry I didn't keep my old one. A changeout would have at least got you going. LIke was said before, not many days to race this year although today might not be much anyway. Spewing about the front bar too.

Well heard from the specialist today and not the news I wanted with regards to IP licence. I can get a review in 12 months atleast. He is fine with normal laps as it is self paced and all the rest. He reconds the bumper to bumper is no good and too high risk of crashing and causing more injuries. I have seen two specialist about it and that was the second opinion. Maybe next year I will see how we go.
Atleast I can be a little free with future mods. The car is not totally compliant with the rear guad pump, sheel offset and chassie bracking but if I got those few things sorted it would be no problems at all. Any cheap twin turbo kits around I can feed into one into each side of the harrop 8TB. One day maybe.

for the bang for buck you'd get from a TT kit just sell the 8TB setup. But heat is the biggest concern.

(i will PM you the phone number) Thanks for that. It was just ideas and yep heat will be a killer but I dont mind modding bonnets. I will see what happens but a engine refrest and stronger internals along with suspention before all that. Cheers

These things are "never ending" Listy!
My next "old school" car will have everything done already to save going through all these bloody headaches again!
Good luck to you mate

Well the dam replacement pump did not get here yesterday so no go getting the GTS going as yet. The bloke promised express post monday and he said he sent it. I called him yesterday and he said what was your name and I will chase it up. No sure if I ended up sending that or not. Shockers. Hope it gets here today so I might try and give the job a go myself this weekend. I am sure ls1 will have some instuctions somewhere.

Well after contacting the bloke who sent the pump he got confused. It was sent as a eparcel and not express post (yep I will be asking refund postage too). So now maybe wednesday if I am lucky it get here. I have it booked in Thursday to get changed. Near 2 weeks off the road it will be over a pump. Hopeless.
