Well, picked up car and had a smash!!
 

Just my luck really!!!

Coming into Birchanger (service station @ Stansted) oil and fuel on road, car went sideways completely and headed towards concrete, managed to turn it so it went front in!!!

(strong point and only paint)

Got away with needing just paint!!! mind you means I can now paint front AND rear bumpers to tidy up

I really didn't need it as the front bumper didn't have a mark on it!

Still, for a car that's got a knackered inlet plenum (sounds fun) and a std exhaust system - it pulls like a god-damn train on stereroids!!!

Can't wait for the sports cat and powerflow system to be fitted!!!! Happy Days!!

btw, knackered inlet - will this lose power - it didnt feel down on it

Sounds like a lucky escape! Knackered plenum will be down on power but still perfectly driveable.

The inlet manifold doesnt lose too much power, just the nosie of the rattle is annoying. I was up that way this morning, lucky I didnt bump into you (literally).

I must admit, I did throw my dummy out of the pram and want to burn the car!!!!

I have another plenum to fit already (2000 miles from new) will have a go at that tomorrow as the wind is horendous!! The North Sea looks like something we had a few years ago when it came over Walcott wall and flooded all the business' down here!!

Wheels gonna be changed as loss of traction could be down to tyre selection??? Doing that in a mo, but its freezing

depending on how exactly the plenum is knackered you can be down a lot of power and not necessarily top end.

FFS James , so long as your on the road no one else needs to worry as all the ***** luck seems to follow you lol.

Soz m8 and I know it must feel like kak, been there myself when I threw my brand new 100m gsxr down the road :-/

If you wanted power you should of
Bought my charged motor off me cause if u think a stock 180 is quick then try one with another 60hp!

Maybe cheaper to try and get replacement already painted bumpers??

Cheers
P.

Just read this ignore the PM! If your car is ok thats the main thing! Cant wait to see this car!

Dad works for inchcape as regional manager so he asking the body shop what the score is on Monday!!!
