Its an on-going joke my friend.

Lee-H knows me, and knows im winding him up.

Insurance is fine thanks:thumb:

Bloody logged on as gf lol

Small boring update.

Well, its been another full year and the Nova hasn't left the comfort of the garage even for an MOT in 2010.

I have decided I need to actually try and use the thing this year seen as its costing me in insurance for nothing. In order to do that I want to make sure I am happy with everything reliability wise.

I have just bought a Z20LET oil pump and modified pick up pipe that i'm hoping to get on with fitting at weekend with some assistance from Mr Dixon. I am not convinced with the pattern part fitted previously or the high mileage GM item fitted currently so this should ensure things are right on the oil pressure front. Should have done it right in the first place.

I fitted the Helix paddle clutch after the rolling road disaster so that should hopefully cure any lingering clutch issues (hopefully it will calm down a bit after bedding in as its juddery as hell) Another job I should have done right first time. I can see a pattern emerging.......

Bloody hell, I'd be itching to use this motor if I had it.

Hope you get it out and reliable, nothing worse than oil pump problems, killed my friends LET aswell, 9k to build the car and it's done less than 300 miles in 5 years.

You didn't use the car this year at all? Not good dude, you need the love again and getting it driving right and feeling happy driving it will do that.

I got a Zlet oil pump after reading some stuff you've written.

And it's a learning curve...
