Trackday at Donnington park in my 106 Rallye with 173hp 1600 16v engine, short ratio box with limited slip diff.
Engine bought with a couple of thousand miles on it off someone breaking their car
5 days after being set up and got running, loud bang lots of smoke whilst catching an Aerial Atom.
Loving my initial diagnosis of a split radiator,
Radiator was split by pieces of block
Some go, some blow it would seem
Currently undiagnosed, but it looks like a rod bolt failure
173hp? LOL
