Went to see a mate who's building a 944 S2 track car, looking good all interior stripped, roll cage fitted, Leda shocks to go on and a replacement head (previous one overheated and cracked head through an oil way)
Heard a crack when cornering spiritedly on the way back, could have been a stone hitting the undertray but no 'twas the corroded n/s drop-link on my rebushed front arb fracturing, good job I've ordered a new one.

Incidentally, does anyone know what oil level the sensor should trigger at?

Mine triggers at around halfway between H & L on the dipstick. So around 1/2 L It does however trigger if it has been running & then switch off, then restarted. Obviously the oil is all in the head, hence a low sump level.

Listed lots of items on flea bay to help pay for another engine replacement!!

Found the final washer fluid leak then spent 2 hours plus trying to remove the thermostat circlip so I could change the thermostat.....and still not out!!

New circlip pliers tomorrow.

I feel your pain! It's a PITA to do in situ, particularly in a turbo!!

Bought 2.1/2L Fabsil; cleaned the soft top and gave it two coats.
When roof dry, filled up with petrol and took it for a spin.
Rained on the way back....
Roof beaded nicely.

Fixed it and drove it yesterday!! Battery on charge today and shall commute in her tomorrow

Got home from work and....

fitted a boost gauge... just need to click the gauge into the pod and the two cables dangling will be hidden away and connected to the lights

I don't have a feed to the DME and KLR since I have neither of those. So it takes a feed from the inlet manifold which I hope is ok!

Seeing as I have a Nissan now I jumped in and just went for a drive Went to see mother as she lives 25 miles away and it took me 3hrs to get there and a lot more miles then it should of

Aftermarket rocket launcher Andy?

just working on the ejector seat now...

I took mine for a photo shoot with John Rampton.

I think he's still looking for some more cars to shoot if anyone is interested. If you find his
post you'll be able to PM him.

I was talking to John a couple of months ago about rig shots (I'm a keen amature photographer) and he seems to be a great guy with a good eye and photographic skills. Especially with cars. Need to hook up with him for a photo shoot at the workshop with some rare metal

Would recommend him to anyone. Search google for "vroom photo"

Andy!! How's the skyline?? How do we get you in another 944 turbo?

When are we supposed to be hooking up for satellite work. Pm me!

Today I made some progress with my fleet

One of my 968's had the steering wheel reconolalsed, it looks great,

And one of my 944 turbos, my precious white 86, got a new back box, remanufactured standard waste gate and all new exhaust seals. can't wait to get back in it once it's had it's detailing

One of my other 944 turbo's had some bts ordered ready for its modified engine build

All in all a productive day on a couple of my own cars for a change
