    start up

    well i got home for work today and thought i'd crack on with putting the head back on, bit of a pain in the arse as i didnt notice the new head didnt have any studs for the manifold so i had to extract them all from my old head, took me about 4 hours in the end. got an oil leak from the turbo return as the turbo was moved fitting the head/manifold

    excuse the cracked camera lens

    Is it me or does it sound like a tractor when the video is at the back of the car?

    Good work mate, does it need much more work, other than sorting the oil leak?

    Sounds like a noisy decat pipe on a 5-pot to me... with a hint of something touching/rattling somewhere.

    Sport/race cat then?

    Either way, if it wasn't for the rattling noise, it'd sound pretty tasty

    Can't be as loud as the one on his old saffy S70, that was like an anti-aircraft cannon!
