After last nights horrific job (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1238271615), today was an absolute pleasure. ::)
Changed the engine oil and filter and swapped out the LSD diff oil for some nice Millers 80w90lsd.
Fired her up and was greeted with a beautifully quiet and smooth v6, it was mechanical centrefold stuff! ;D
Didn't realise that she was getting so noisy, I change the oil every year at this time and only do about 2k. Just shows you, time plays as much a part in oil deteriorating as mileage. Sorted that noisy (for first 5 secs) tappet. :y

2000 miles, that's less than i do & i thought i was doing well ;)
-
2k :o :o :o :o
I do that in a month at the most... Especially at this time of year :o :o :o

Heh, yeah she's not the daily runner. She just gets dusted off this time of year and prep'd for the Marham Trackday. :D
By the time we've made the trip to swampland and back up here and some pottering around, that takes us to about 2k. Then back to storage for her 8-)
I've only done the one trackday a year the last 3 yrs as I've not wanted to overstress her, given that she's had a fair few items replaced or serviced this time though, I may take her down for the September one as well... :D
I don't really race per say, but I do like to indulge in a little drifting and nothing puts a smile on my face as much as a little rain when on track...then I can play more than 5 laps on a set of tyres :o the tarmac is a little 'abrasive' on the airfield... ;)
