VR6Pete 1,455 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Picked her up this morning Felt awesome driving it again, and could feel how better it felt with the new steering rack! I have to keep it below 3,500 RPM for the first 500 miles and then perform an oil / filter change, then i can take it to 3,600 up until 1,100 miles and then increase 100RPM for every 100 miles completed.... upshot is I need to cover 2.5k 125 miles down so far! looooong way to go.... Naturally the firt thing I did when I got home was to give the old girl a jolly good wash and took it for another drive, there is some power waiting to be unleashed, I can tell you that much and cant wait put more miles on it this week in wales I now have my new dubpower exhaust on, and ive got a decat ready to fit next week... all shaping up nicely for Tatton Park on the 3rd which willl be my first proper show of the year! bring it on D11PS and Bealieboy 2 Link to post Share on other sites
