Well the first anniversary of my time with a 3200 manual has come and gone and although I haven't done as many miles as I would have liked, she has performed faultlessly. I took her to Phil at PK Supercars for her annual going over and as usual, the service could not be faulted.
Got her back with a fresh MOT and looking forward to a summer of fun.
Because it was a small service and because no extra work needed done I thought that some of the 'war chest' could be used in the engine department to try to get her closer to where I'd like her to be.
So, inlet manifold, coil covers and cam covers were blasted and re-finished. The oil catch tank and cambelt covers were painted and a new header tank fitted. A new 'atrium' was bought and fitted as mine was cracked - it had been put back without the little spacers on the outside fixings.
All in all it looks much better.
I'm am compiling a list for next years improvements.
That's the good news. The bad news is that on the way back from Phils, a lorry threw up a stone and put a chip in my windscreen, so that will need to be fixed too.
