Also - the exhaust valves weren’t working, and I was hoping it was just the case they’d been plugged, rather than anything more complicated. I could move the valves by hand, and hear the solenoid working. Indeed - plugged lines! Phew

Seeing the back end in that state of disassembly, just makes me think of the best Audi advert ever.



Can't wait to hear the Capristo version :thumbs:

Love that advert! I’ll have to make some vids when I get the car back

While the bumper is off, had the exhaust tips sent over to SL Restorations, as they were looking tired.

Nick @SL stripped them back, and we briefly considered keeping them bare/polished but there was some fairly deep oxidisation unfortunately

Satin black now

What a beast Faisal. Great choice with the tips. The Capristo sounds awesome from your videos.

Love the lights in that Audi ad.

Need a GT wing now... just saying :smile_smoking:
