All good for Proccy today, fantastic car and well worth saving The future's brighter, the future's purple! this bloody purple thing is now 1yr old folks, i mean - come on give it a 'kin rest!!! on a more serious note, the car is saved for now thanks largely to two people who have gone well beyond the call of duty and gone into my book as complete coop heroes....they know what they've done for me and i won't forget it, i hope there's a time i can adequately repay the tremendous dedication, generosity and friendship displayed in my many hours of need recently. great drive home today on the lower boost setting, and i can say i'm ecstatic at how it's performing. there was a massive merc amg thing that got fed up of trying to shake me off and eventually after about 80 miles, he let me past at strensham no staying power!!! bring on Spa, shame Leighton won't be there to be honest - you will be missed fella <<< for flea and JBT

Well its smoking as you put you're foot down mate. So it could be any number of things. Was the engine you had put in last a rebuild ? Or just a doner engine installed without being checked ?

well just a brief update if anyone cares about this car anymore, i'm not even sure i do JBT has the technical details but basically the recent engine has some major issues on cylinder 3 rendering it pretty useless. Johnny's been running it for a few days and it's using enough oil to warrant it's own tanker following it around, so looks like either more major expense or run it until it dies. this will be my last coupe much as i love the car, the forum and especially the people i've got to know. JBT is coming back to me with a couple of options and prices, and i have to again acknowledge how brilliant he has been to me - however the curse of this car is so far defeating even the best mechanics around...... watch this space, if you're still awake.....

Steve, Wasn't that engine just an eBay punt? I've potentially a couple of lumps coming up for sale if you want to persevere? Jesus you could do with a change of luck. Buy some Euromillions tickets this week pal.

Buy some Euromillions tickets this week pal. no the engine was from off here but it's not the guy's fault who sold it me - no blame there. Thanks for the offer Dan, do you know if those engines are any good? JBT is also looking at options for me. my luck is, if i bought the winning ticket i'd lose it somewhere

my luck is, if i bought the winning ticket i'd lose it somewhere more like insert it some where.. Proccy, i keep reading this and i cant say how gutted this is to read.. my offer is always open for help mate... for the money you have spent you should have a 600bhp coupe with a fresh re-spray and the best of every thing on it.. i will keep my eyes open for a good lump for you mate.
