Well I'm more than half way done. Unfortunately one if the aux idlers is wrong so I can change that later. mAF deals won't be here till Tuesday anyway.

One of my ICs looks mint clean so might be newer than the other. Other one has a few oily buys so I'll tidy them up tonight.

Was really good. Wine festival was brill as normal and the ring was almost empty! Most folks had gone to the Spa for the GP which suited us fine. Only did 2 laps as didnt want to ruin the car, got some nice footage chasing an R8 who obviously couldnt dive as kept up in the orners and could out drag him on the straight bits.... Till some race spec bloody Renalt Megane did us both easily LOL.
Brakes worked a treat, no problems at all and no fade etc etc. was a litle naughty as we did 180 leptons before we even got out of blighty but took it easy most of the time over there.

Looks like all the efforts I made to service everything paid off, just washed it and its the same as when we left. Even he oils still almost clear!

Cars up for sale now as want a project and dont want to mod the RS as its perfect how it is and going further will just ruin it.

You're already in for the cost of a Gallardo with your various cars. Although if you had one of those I bet it'd already be UR'd.
