actuall, because they're small, you have them like a reverse lambo door that went all the way back & folded down flat onto the hood. (when it's down of course.)

Some of you might have noticed BigCab© was a little smoky on the way back from Donny. Clare driving it like she stole it, then forgeting she had two more gears was not nice to the little old thing and it shat itself and started smokin like a good un. Its a dirty old RS Turbo, they're supposed to smoke a bit but this was a lot. lol.
It has got a little smoking problem when cold in the morning but gone in 2 mins, thats the stem seals so just though with Clare driving it a little harder than normal she'd destroyed one of them for good. We are going to get those changed before Nationals.
But following her last night in Troys car to MFN the smoke was not coming from the exhausts. It was coming from under the car, and filling the car up inside too.
It turned out that she'd burst the oil return pipe from the Turbo, again. It wasnt enought to empty the oil in one go but when it was on boost it must have increased the oil preasure and spat a bit out all over the very hot exhaust causing the James Bond Style smoke screen. Let it off boost, less preasue and no smoke.
Going to see how much PJ Motorsport charge for a silicon one rather than a normal rubber one. This is not the first time this has burst on it. Ask Nez the story about what happened last time.

that car and burst pipes lol, surely samco's r the next purchase instead of tv's.

I'm going to see what a Samco one cost. A second hand rubber one is £10. So i recon a samco will be aboout £20 - £30 maybe if we're lucky.

to be fair dude i thought on the way to doony it was coming from the exhaust so you sure it isnt the stem seals or re you saying its a mixture of both? downer on the pipe but on the other hand your doing the right thing and going for samco so all problems should be solved
