JasonR24 Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Unfortunately the story goes awry here as after I returned from the trip I didn't check the oil (which i had done before the trip, it was new and just under the top line) and somehow all the oil had disappeared or burnt away on the trip then this happened: IMG_1609.MOV Edited July 31, 2021 by JasonR24 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Car then needed an engine rebuild so went away to James at Performance at Hart and has been spot on ever since. Took a fair while because of covid though. What had happened is the piston rings had failed which is why the oil had gone. It’s odd because I didn’t see excessive smoke which is what you would have thought would have happened. Anyway the engine had burned all its oil away and caused it to knock. It’s all fixed now though and upgraded as I always do with every part on the car that goes wrong. I’ll add the full spec soon Edited July 31, 2021 by JasonR24 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 Unfortunately for me once I got the engine back and just as I finished breaking it in the clutch system decided to let go and I tried to drive it home. Unfortunately 3rd syncro was already a little weak and I pushed it over the edge. This meant a complete rebuild of the gearbox….. obviously not ideal…. I got this done at Paul Cheshire with uprated synchros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) 2020 wasn’t the best year tbh but the car is all done and complete. It went off for a complete detail when it got back and ceramic coated. The car is now up for sale as even though I loved this car and have made some great memories it’s too closely tied to my last relationship and reminds me of last year way too much.

Unfortunately my time is done with it and I just don’t want to drive it anymore. It’s sad but that’s just how I feel about it. Looking at getting a different car or if I don’t go ahead with that just doing more things with the money instead. Making more memories that way instead 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonR24 Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) And so the journey ends. It’s exactly 6 years to the day that I bought the car and every moment been amazing. I have had some truly life defining moments with it. Ups and downs. Funnily enough the passenger side bonnet latch jammed hence the bonnet up, so it showed it’s annoyance right at the end but it’s and easy fix. Its going to join a really amazing collection of cars alongside Lamborghinis and GTRs. I wish the new owner a great ownership.
