Never send money through the post, some thieving bastard will always have the cash out before it gets where it's going. Cheques/postal orders are the order of business, but only when Paypal isn't available as an option - cut out the post office altogether.

i know mate its driving me mental :evil:

but with the bumper off its much easier to see the holes rather than having your head buried in the quater panels

but i am pretty sure its done now , i hope..

the bumper is only being held on with 1 bolt either sides and 2 underneith so if it has to come off again i dont have to undo all the bolts...

throttle cable now done. huge improvement .. the car is much more responsive and it does over 70mph now :cheesy:

because the pump wasnt being brought to max position 70mph was max speed . now it flys well past 70mph.

the old inner black section of the cable. not the cable itself
was really rock hard no wonder my revs were sticking on all the time..

My 406 would do 107mph. It would do 107 up hill, down hill, vertically, on the flat etc.
That was its top speed due to the fuel cut off... But once it got there you could hit a hill and it would still stay at 107mph :lol:
