Got a lil bit 2 add havent dun alot 2 the car just been enjoying driving it atm how eva few weeks ago i did find i was gettin a slow leak of coolent from the water pump onto the balencer so started 2 make a lil white mess here n there so decided 2 replace the seals and thought may aswell put in a new pump $52 from repco y wouldnt ya? lol apparently was leakin a tiny bit from the seals and a bit from the drain hole on the old pump.
Took the car on its 1st long trip last weekend did almost 1000kms round trip so was a good time 2 test out foamies tune and how well the car handled. Was great i must say i was expecting it not 2 go as smoothly as it did, over takin wasnt a problem at all somtimes u didnt even know u were doin it 100 -160 theres some definate pull there haha.
Managed 2 get 560kms out of a tank was sittin on 11/110kms the whole way even tho the road was rough as ****. at times doin 100 i was gettin readings of 8.4-9.2/100kms :w00t:
Since the road was that rough a few days ago i started feelin a vibration from the exhaust note on idle and wen u accelerate. Put it up on a hoist 2 check out wat was the go i found my cross member that the trans sits on, the 2 passenger side bolts had either rattled off/out on that long drive or they just werent dun up 4 some reason? neways 2 bolts and noise was fixed was told i was lucky i didnt break the engine mounts if i kept on driving.
