Well i took the motor oot last night in test pilot fashion and booted the james hunt cleeeean oot it, its still quite pish at pullin away after turning corners and pullin away from junctions in second or thurd no that you pull away from junction in third but if i approach a corner and huv to come down to third its no got the accel you would expect its worse when approachin traff lights and i dont have to quite stop so pull off in second, its downright lazy Twisted Evil so because of this i concentrated on the second half of the rev counter and thrashed the poor bugger on the m9 to stirling and back @25miles and and on the way things were close to normallity after the beast was introduced to near fatal revs except for the superwhine coming from the right hand side of the engine comp. Anyway got her up to the region of 130mph before having to take evasive action on account of a fuckin arsehole in a civic typeR r standing for roaster! decided he had enuf room to overtake the car he was fast gaining on, he obviously saw me in his door mirror and thought i was farther away and didnt see i was gaining at a whoreing rate of knots and yup oot he came. What followed was a demonstration of why these 19's are fuckin great cars, as soon as the fanny shot out in front of me you cood see him enter a state of panic when he realised the image of the beast in his rear view mirror was getting awfy big aaaaawfy quickly and you could visibly see the arse of his honda raise then with a jolt it dipped and he thankfully got far enuf forward for me to nick into the slow lane and undertake him. I couldnt really see what his reaction was in the split second i got a glance over when passing him what with all the spit over the inside of my window but after getting back in the fast lane and flooring it he must have decided he had more time after all and didnt retort, quickly dissapearing from my rear view. It was on the way back that the other drama began, i was just approachin my junction to turn off when i noticed the temp guage was bottomed out, now i dont know how long it was like this but i was aware of the footwell gettin cold???? si turned the heater on and it got hot right away so that was that till i got home. When i pulled up in my drive and got out the car there was a steam explosion from the vent, from the bonnet gaps, under the wheel arches pretty much anywhere there was a gap there was a ploom of steam, it was like some ellabirate fuckin NOS spray show. I didnt even investigate i just slammed the door shut in disgust and left it. Went out this morning fully expectin to see the water perculator thingy in six bits or an exploded hose or sumthin but no it was this

Thats the second time that baisturd has popped on me, why is this? i mean its fitted correctly. What the fuck is one supposed to do? is it a blockage somewhere else thats makin this fooker pop? Anyway i put it back in and again it seems like a good tight fit put more water and and started her up and WHOOOOOOOOOOOAH! The revs rocketed up to 6 grand and sat there, mmmmm decided to turn it back off mmmm thats better. Went round the front for a look and mmmmmm the fookin idle control valve isnt plugged in so connected it and phew it started and idled normally well normally for ma car. Ive got three ICV's in total and tried them all and they all made the car idle at the same 1300rpm, mmmm still to high

sorry I'm being a diddy

anyway, you need sealant (blue hylomar from halfords etc will do the job nicely then a good tap with a hammer on the end of it to get it right in there.
