it passed the MOT today! (emissions bypassed)
iv not driven it for 3 month, other than starting it up weekly or fortnightly and letting it warm up!
anyways, took it out for fuel, and bearing in mind its running quite rich, and iv not driven it at all for nearly 3 months, it was slightly hesitant and popping like fuk all the time! even popping from the throttle bodies! and smoking a little as well at higher revs (white smoke)
after some fresh optimax and a thrash it was spot on and how it should be for the rest of the journey!
anyways later on took it for MOT. Drove there spot on, but on way home it was the same as earlier, popping like mad all the time, and hesitant when i put any gas on! sounded like a proper rally car, but just wasnt driving rate!
again i had a slight detour, after a thrashing it was fine for the rest of the journey home!
im doing a full oil and filter change on sat, but anything that could be causing this? considering its been stood for a long time! it was spot on before it went off the road!
im guessing it just needs some thrash to clear it all out! but id rather do the oil chage first before going mad! and i dont want to blow the fuker up by thrashing it when its not quite right!
but.....when it was running fine, fuk me it was fast lol! seriously fast! i was shaking like fuk when i got home after some country lanes!!
its got 185's on at the mo, and it was spinning at 70 in 3rd if you planted it! not a prayer i can run these tyres at pod!
