Not much of an update except bad news...
Pretty much everything is going wrong, under WOT I've got a really bad whirring then the boost cuts out.
The flex shaft bolt is on it's way out so anything over 110kms and the car shakes so bad I have to slow down again.
Front end is sooooo loose. can get hard to keep in a lane and worse when correcting out of a roundabout. The rear suspension is creaking really badly too.
Brakes need done.
And I keep getting a code on timing...which probably is a really bad thing.


Calling jimmy this week to get a professional to look at it.
Already ordered the prop shaft bits so at least that'll be one thing ticked off.

Anyway that's my rant over. Other than that still beating plebs in their SS's so there is some cause to smile.

Is this all just from daily wear and tear ?

Dunno really, I don't drive it particularly hard but its just been getting worse and worse. Might be because I got the tune it's showing up all the other weaknesses in the car.
Travelling overseas at the end of the year so I might garage it until I get the cash together to get it all fixed. Try to get under it as often as I can but don't have the skill or guts to handle most of it. Really need someone I can work on it on the weekend with.
