I must say this car is pretty clean.

Only two problems were the front doorcards, not having the large retaining discs and the belts slipping, you could actually feel the car slowing as if the brakes were being pressed before picking up again.

Did the belt slip help at all?

Man am I jealous of you right now.

Unfortunately mine will most probably never see the public roads again, ah well, keeps the costs down whilst allowing me to go mad.

the belt slip did help actually, the belts have just started the slipping again just recently but they seem to loosen up everyso often and i have to tighten all the tensions again and its fine again, i havn't actually tried it properly since the belts were tightened and belt slip spray used because of the rain so i'll be trying it out properly when it's dry, and i'll give you some money for that spray when i see you next mate :wink:

i also took the passenger's door card off and put on properly like you showed me on the driver's side so that doesn't rattle either :D

you going to the uk-p january meet just cause i can sort paying you for that spray then or i can make a special trip over at some point if your not going? :)

Don't worry about paying for the spray.
