Not much done lately due to being on holiday
Anyway I’ve just ordered some Zestino Gredge RS07 soft track tyres. Having read the reviews and spoken to Joe these sound like a good dry weather tyre
Also ordered the 2 poly bushes for the engine mount on the drivers side
Also planning to finally to the wiring mod for the fuel pump as I’ve already run the power cable, I just need to rewire the relay in
Then as per my other thread I’ll be giving the car another test at curborough at the beginning of June, albeit I have a challenge with my son in his MK4 Renault megane rs trophy. If I can get within a second of his time I’ll be impressed
Cheers for now
Jamie

When it's all done you should contact Jayemm and see if he wants to make another video of it, as it was the handling he was most critical of and that's where most of your improvements have been. Hi graham, great idea, is he ‘local’ to your neck of the woods?

Having had the tracking done recently, I’ve felt a bit of vagueness in the steering when driving on dual carriageways
Anyway I’ve found the near side track rod end has developed a bit of play, any pointers for which brand to go for, or ones to avoid?
Thanks Jamie

AA tend to supply Birth; I don't have any reason to believe there's anything wrong wrong with them...unlike the wheel bearings from the same stable which had a history of failing after far too short a time.

Looks like you have done all the hard work and only have bits and pieces to do now. Just in time for enjoying the summer.
