Got some temporary plates and had my coupé out on the open roads for the first time today. A few noises to investigate, especially prominent was the front left wheel bearing. I’ll get that sorted shortly.

I’ve got 205/45/17 tires, and I noticed some rubbing on hard cornering, what tire pressure should I run?

I run 36 psi in front and 30 psi rear on my 225/45/17s.

I also found the windscreen washer tank was pressing down on the archliner so have packed the fixings with spacers also cable-tied (temporarily) it up to support it.

While replacing the injectors, I couldn’t help noticing the rubber hoses connecting the intake plenum to the runners seem a bit off. It doesn’t look like they’re seated properly.

Is this normal?

You're correct, they need to be properly seated.

Three puddles only!!! Ohhh, the joys of bringing old cars back to life…

Coolant appears to be from the hose of death. Oil is from the sump plug. I had it welded, and it might not have worked too well. The final puddle is from the “rear” main seal, which is about the only thing I didn’t replace during my rebuild. I guess the gear box needs to come out this winter.
