You look to be doing a similar job to me, it would be nice to have a garage to do it in though eh, I must waste an hour every time I do anything just getting tools out, uncovering etc. then pack it all away at the end of the day. I might move house.

And again it lives! Finally managed to swap the inlet over and fire her up. Everything checked out, just need to get the clam back on, fit another EGR cheater and get the caliper on, then it's off to the bodyshop....!

It's working yes! I'm driving it with no passenger seat or undertray/diffuser at the moment and it still needs to get some bodywork done but I've been quite busy lately so no luck there.

I'm getting a bizarre metal clicking sound from the drivers side engine bay though, it's not quite related to revs as really high up I can't hear it and I can't hear it on idle either, but I'm going to take a guess that it's the chain, or something vibrating between around 2-4k rpm.

Thanks guys

How long before the first person IRL will comment on the car saying you misspelled ferrari?


I've been waiting for that, however I've only driven about 150 miles so far with that on it so there's plenty time for it :lol:

Going to into the booth soon to get the hardtop, V, some of the clam and one of the doors painted.
