Might be worth looking into some type of heat shield for the exhaust downpipe or steering rack gaiter as they cook so close to the exhaust.
Your suspension top mounts also look past there best.
Heat shield? Definitely. I thought that myself.
Strut mounts? . I Truly replace these guys every year. I think they are genuine? I was considering an alternative but struggling for recommendations for a better or tougher unit.
I have a bit of aluminium in the garage, so I'll see if I can attach for the heat plate. I have heat wrap from a previous project that will find its way onto this car.
I had to go out earlier in the car, very warm in Glasgow just now. Fantastic! I'm now looking for excuses to go drive, makes me feel like I'm 20 again!

The previous set up was a carb, this is the full mk3 system. Had to have a new tank and full fuelling system installed. Ecu is in the scuttle tray. Looks pretty modern in there. I'll see if I can get pics up.Desperado said
Are you still running K jet or did you swap to the newer set up?
My New Year's resolutions are: 1. Stop making lists. B. Be more consistent. 7. Learn to count.
