SOOO, i havent updated in a while, since my last post ive been thinking about breaking the car for parts and getting a sbody, but after alot of thought ive decided to keep the lil mx and go balls out on it. shame i decided todo this AFTER i sold my cusco cage first of all to sort was my deglect through the winter so set about changeing the plugs, oil and rocker gasket. there was oil all over the plugs hence the rocker gasket change (was realy brittle and fook (pic below) oil pressure on my gauge has gone down which is abit conserning but ill see what happens. so i thought id post up afew pics of the mx and the “small” list of things to come to get it ready for the summer.-
Ringys To-Do list in no order
