Back to the story.
After finishing up at nats and having a mad time things went back to normal.
Just the usual things started with the car.
Removed my turbo timer and came across this mess.
Not sure who the hell did this home job but it all got removed and fixed.
After a few spirited runs through the cotter I noticed that my intake gasket was shot.
So I ordered a new one online and did some research on how to change it.
At the same time I decided to get rid of the hicas and chuck a lock bar in it.
The intake gasket is a farking bitch to change! cut the fark out of my knuckles, lost a spanner (still haven't found it lol)
If you ever have to change one then make sure you have ratchet spanners because they are awesome!
