Took off the strut brace, started to take off parts ready to unscrew the intake. Fuel pump fuse removed, fuel pipe disconnected from the fuel rails.

Added a clamp to the back of the intake to hold in that MAP sensor. Didn't come with a clamp, also only had a blind hole that needed drilling as not all applications need it. Test printed in cheap material to make sure no oddities. Was something on the bottom part where it was too thin. Test...

Looks like that creature from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Welcome to Solent Renegades Car Club, @PeterAWilson271.

Test driving yesterday was good. However the exhaust came apart this morning Used some ratchet straps to try to pull it together. It was a struggle to get it together a few days ago. Obviously I did t get it far enough in Marked 2 lines on there. One at 30mm the 2nd at 50mm. It would be nice...

All done, bolts checked. Time to give it a test Test drive went well, went around some tight country lanes. Some exhaust rattles had gone, got some new. Think that tranny mount and exhaust touch sometimes. Not too concerned as that knock under the passenger floor from the exhaust has now gone.

Did you tell them to moo-ve out of the way?

Exhaust back on. Was a struggle, but got there in the end. Managed to gain some slack as it's tubes that slide in tubes then clamped. Some at different angle to others which added a challenge. Very close in places. Will have to drive it to hear if there is a noisy rattle.

This is still something I have never attended, although would like to.

Hi Richard. That sounds like a fun hobby. Only thing I have flown is a kite. It was one of those stunt one where could stack multiple ones together. The amount of lift I got when i was a kid was awesome. I had to wrap myself around a post as I'm sure it would have taken me off the ground. Where...

Got the torque arm attached at this end. Took a bit of shuffling, Jacking that car up, turn that axle to get through angle for 2 long bolts to get through. That wasn't the end of my simple tasks that turn into more work. Can't get to the teo Allen key bolts at the top of the torque arm rubber...

Welcome to Solent Renegades Car Club, @Richard Arberry.

Fitted thr transmission mount. Removed what was causing the problem. Started to fit the torque arm. I'm hoping there is some exhaust wiggle room when putting it back together.

Now to fit the other side. This bar needs to slide in creating threaded holes. Wasn't as paintful as the first. Kinds knew where to jack up and slide things. The threaded bar needed to have no washer to start with as the box channel on the car was deformed at little due to jacking. Putting...

Maf sensor part going well. 3 holes on 1 side, 2 on the other. Cit some grooves ro recess the wire in the plastic.
