The rover forums do sadden me with how useless they are but like Procta has said some individuals (himself included) have been helpful.
After combe I'm beginning to get more happy with the power, as a yorkshireman said "i'd put money on it being as fast as a 6' " or something along those lines
Now to focus on the handling aka not nankangs on 17s and fix the chronic oil leak.
In regards to the leak I came across someone mentioning the under bonnet temps can wreck the rocker and cam carrier seals so will be heat wrapping the manifold and working on the seals.
The front brake reaction bars/tie bars will be polybushed either superflex or powerflex as this apparently helps. Will also home make a rear strut brace as was going to do it months ago but never go past taking some measurements
Hopefully these handling modifications will help with it comes to pugfest on the twisty hill climb.
Finally I still have the offset dowels to advance the timing along with the tools to do so, just want to be 100% it's not going to smash valves or loose me power. Just a shame there's once again very little information out there
