Thanks JoeBob and superman, just having a beer after the 'long run'
Final part of trip had to deal with evening 'rush hour' with twisty wet highway (autoroute) and a car I do not know -at 80-90mph .
The car does have a lot of electrical gremlins which I will address in another post.
Know it is home and dry, I can take each one at my leisure (and my controlled expense) After a £6,000 (about $9000USD) shop bill, I need to get my priorities right.
I did get a new dual out Fabspeed muffler, new front and rear brake pads and new front rotors, plus whilst engine out, serviced, valves adjusted, new plugs, filters etc. Plus all injetcors tested, 3 new injectors, 6 new injector plastic blocks.
The car had a load of Japanese emissions parts which were not connected, so removed and tuned.
The advance retard mechanism was not working properly, etc etc.
- Am going to drop it into my local French mechanic to check out the engine tuning and try to address the more minor issues myself (with some help

)
Thanks again!
