How hurtful! Have I ever taken a pop at you in your white van? Only joking of course, it needs quite a bit of cosmetic work as the planking, boards, joints whatever Etc; are very uneven.

I think I will put the diffuser off T200 on the roof as the guy who wanted it hasn’t paid yet! Or maybe the PZ spoiler!

It's the Magnaflow 200 cel CAT that they put in the Racing Beat CAT so should do the job.

I got a local fabricator to take the silencer out and weld the CAT in, all done in a morning. Sound levels appear to be very similar but the smells have gone :D

Haven't done much lately except think about doing stuff - she's been sat idle for last month or two.
(had dodgy starting experience last time I took her out so don't want to risk any more before I mess on with injectors)

Anyway was thinking I need a 1/2" drive ratchet, I have halfords advanced 3/8" but no 1/2" drive one.
Did see some offers on ECP for Ratchet sets (cheapo ones) -

Instead I picked up one of these to go with 1/2" breaker bar I already have. Supposedly good for 500+Nm and doesnt say it here but Sealey have lifetime guarantee on this.

Swapped out the eccentric shaft sensor after getting some cels for it, not all the time just now and then, no running issues either. Let's hope the new one sorts it.

Took my car for an MOT yesterday, can't believe how few miles I've done in the past year, it's an 07 so in the high VED bracket as well :x

Even though the MOT had expired a long time ago (thought I had leeway due to covid) I've been next to police cars and they haven't done anything even though it must have triggered the ANPR :-k


Now considering getting a trailer and using it as a track car, my friend has a 2017 BMW M3 and pays only £140 VED!
There should be a fairer system when it comes to road tax imo.

I've done way less miles that that, roughly 1200 in 3 years and yes I agree 100%, the road tax system is totally unfair and as a fellow 07 owner, we're playing full rip VED, It really is a blatant legal rip off.
