So yeah, to back up a little. It went through MOT in April, Frosty tried to find something desperate to fail/advise on but in the end he had to make do with a discoloured number plate. 
Only expenditure its had was some brand new front tyres (if anyone who knows me, would of known that I’m normally king of the part-worns) couldn’t find any 205/45/16s though
The car drove to FCS absolutely fine. Left about ¼ of a tank over the M5 in cloud form. Apart from that, no lash ups or radges to show really I’ve Just been driving it and filling it with fuel. The stop screw is wound in a little too much still, keeping the vanes open but helps with EMP. Still pulls well and keeps an ok(ish) EMP:Boost ratio on a run. Will find time and get underneath it and adjust but just a case of CBA at the moment. Hoping to pop back to the rollers and smash the 200hp marker with a higher torque figure.
Worked out its done nearly 4500 miles with the VNT on. First 500 was a bit a suck it and see but I would be quite happy to jump in it and drive it wherever.
Worst bit about the car, is the suspension. Ideally wants a set of thicker ARBs and some better springs. Nothing has come up cheap enough so I haven’t bothered. Too many other things that also takes my pay cheque at the end of the month.
Tax is up on the 1st of October, not sure where to go with it then, suppose G/Box mount is next but not sure if I can be hassled. A few have said to drop the engine into a suitable 306 candidate...
She’s had a good run though and has come a long way.
Anyways, random picture I took the other day.
