Yes Geoff, when the person sorting it is me...
Things still to do on the Midas is in fact, quite a list. All the electrics. Finish the dashboard. Align suspension. Make a set of brand new carpets. Completely rebuild the doors. Fit the bumpers correctly. Replace every single glass and door seal. Finish off the damn exhaust and hang it. Bleed brakes and clutch. Adjust everything. Check it again. New tyres. Take it for an MOT. Probably cry when it fails on something I've overlooked... Etc etc.
I can't lie - I have done NOTHING on the car since the last update except buy one thing. The Y-piece on the manifold has always bothered me. It came with the Maniflow manifold, but it wasn't a Maniflow. As such, it doesn't fit properly. It had no slots. So I got fed up with it, and splashed out on a Maniflow one. Yes it cost 2/3 the price of the entire RC40 system I got but what the hell, I KNOW it'll be decent.
Also, my daily Mercedes SLK 230 was starting to look alarmingly similar to my Mini 25 I had in the mid-90s. By that I mean it was starting to rust, and badly. Luckily I had just come into a bit of money, so I went shopping and came back with a 2006 SLK 200, the dealer having kindly taken the old SLK as a part-ex. There's only 2 of us and we don't need anything big, so why not?? I rather like it.
Then I knocked the front bumper off the Midas on to the ridged concrete floor. I need to repair it. Which naturally has made me ecstatic...
Maniflow LCB. Which will actually fit.
And my new daily toy, which is rather pleasant.
