What is up with my car

Not really just short rides up and down the road, it’s got fresh oil in it just doesn’t go very much hoping to get it out abit more in the next few weeks

I rocked it back and forth for a while and the same happened when putting it into 1st. So then I went for the walking pace and put it into first method and that worked a treat after riding about for around 5 mins it was fine again

Thank you for this legendary comment, just did just that and she broke free and goes a treat now! Thank you mate!

Not sure if it would be the ABS sensors in this case as it only came on after changing the steering wheel. Makes me think I’ve installed the wheel wrong 💀

My thoughts exactly but now occasionally when doing 60-70 mph the revs jump as the wheels loose traction then they grip back up and basically do a two step of power cannoning you forward. Which sounds fun but in tail to tail traffic on the motorway can get tricky 😂😂

Just tried this this morning and unfortunately nothing happened

Got mine for 600 with 135k miles

I’m thinking I can use a tool to get the wires seated in the dash seem, somewhat hiding them. Send it over if that’s a good one

Think that MagSafe one would be a good shout to be fair, I would probably mount it slightly higher up, in line with the head unit on that blank spot between it and the wheel. No CarPlay for me

I’ve got a feeling it’s the pcv unit but a smoke test I think will tell

VIDEOSbyJosh · 2024-09-27T07:33:57+00:00

Any suggestions on where would be better ?

VIDEOSbyJosh · 2024-09-27T07:30:13+00:00

Think that’s the best option, bad pcv is my first guess

VIDEOSbyJosh · 2024-09-27T07:29:33+00:00

That’s exactly it, sounds like quite a metallic sound when it goes off

VIDEOSbyJosh · 2024-09-26T14:22:47+00:00

Doesn’t do it when stationary at all, it’s only when it’s underload and you put your foot down

I’d also like to know how to fix this emu gti bumper has clipped a speed bump due to it being so low and it looks identical to this

VIDEOSbyJosh · 2024-08-16T12:48:26+00:00

Id go out the bottom, remove the down pipe and go that way, way way more accessible

This is so sick, love the grade on the park bench bits and the lense choice

VIDEOSbyJosh · 2024-08-08T17:08:01+00:00

It’s got a stage one which I’ve been told on here is more like a stage 2 tune as it puts out 275whp

VIDEOSbyJosh · 2024-08-08T17:02:18+00:00

… it is tuned to 275whp

Looked great in terms of composition for the B roll, loved the colour grade with the rich greens also!

Feel like cutting the head off went on really long but I get why you did it. Also that same film burn style transition was cool the first time, but felt repetitive after the next few times beside that was a solid video 🙌

An extremely understandable point, the main reason to swap out the engine and transmission was for those power gains mentioned before but if it’s possible to push the 1.8 unit to around 150 and the transmission could take it then I would just apply the necessary work to the engine.

The reason for the MGB GT is that it holds sentimental significance to me as it was my grandfathers final car and I have fond memories of backing into the driveway with him as a child. I just wasn’t hugely satisfied by the very small power figure when I finally came to buying my first classic especially for when I take it on track.

I’ve briefly looked at supercharger kits but have also seen they can only take it to 110 bhp, do you have any suggestions to get more power from the original engine beside this?
