As part of the manual conversion, we noticed that the inner CV boot on one side was cracked and leaking. Since it’d never be easier to do, I did it.
Month: January 2021
I had some concerns about the clutch, so day three was started with us plumbing it in and bleeding it.
After a long and eventful first day, it was time to get stuck into the manual part of manual converting.
Ever since looking for a Corolla, the goal was that it HAD to be manual. Autos are lame, and no good for a fun weekend/track toy. With my car, I made the compromise of an auto based on availability and cost, but with the knowledge it would be manual swapped in the near future. Well, that time has come.
Six months have passed, which means it’s WOF time again. The good news is that the TVR passed first time with a clean sheet, the bad news is that the inspector noted play in one of the front wheel bearings.
Tastes Like Petrol has moved to a new host. The migration appears to have gone smoothly, but there will be some teething problems. Please be patient, but if you do find any issues please get in touch either by leaving a comment here, or emailing via the Contact page.
The reason for the host change was a simple one; cost. It’s expensive to keep running this site, and not have ads all through the posts, so moving to a new host will hopefully bring the overheads down a bit.
As it is a significant expense each year I really do appreciate any donations towards the running of the site. If you wish to make a donation to keeping this site alive, I have both Ko-Fi and Paypal setup.
Many Thanks
