Had the car on the road yesterday with the sc gears and rally clutch with orange diaphram. It went like a rocket but started to cut out on idle and now wont start at all. Bugger!

I'm gonna upgrade to high amp battery wire (as car is fibreglass and has to earth on the engine. Also gonna get rid of elctronic ignition as it is awfull.

Therefore paint needs to blend in perfect or it'll look awful. But I have warned girlfriend that if a full re-spray is needed then she will pay and then some!
But she has refused an@l

Looked through about 1500 Fiat green colour samples today. It only took about 5 minutes to match it. It's nothing like the others.

Need a stroke of luck after last week. Especially after my exhaust got ripped off on a speed bump too!

That was a blessing in disguise tho, because it then became fairly obviuos that nothing had been sealed with exhaust paste and the link pipe drums against the remote gear box.
Once that's sorted should be loads quieter
