its just a long way to drive with no boost and at low rpm.
have you tried doing a compression test, there is a way of very roughly checking this without the special equipment, try doing a search if not ill post later as I\'m on the way out.
good luck with getting it sorted though mate.

Car is now on it\'s way to WGT so look out for it on a trailer on the M6!

I\'m pretty certain it\'s seal failure because the Map Sensor was still connected (first thing I checked) and there were flames and strong petrol smell coming out of the exhaust even at idle!

If I go for a mild streetport, do I need to upgrade anything else? I have Power FC, cat back and air intake. What benefit would I see?

Thanks

Don\'t mean to butt in, but guessing from your question you\'re on the lookout for a trusted transporter. I\'ve had excellent service from //www.paulridley.co.uk
when mine needed taking to Pips. He understood the differences between getting an "ordinary" car onto a trailer and a lowered RX7, took great care over the vehicle and I felt comfortable letting him drive off with my pride and joy, complete with keys and minus me! Just a heads up, HTH

Cheers Jim

i was actually just doing some investigation actually, about something.

that looks like a good service though, are they expensive?

£140 for moving mine from Stourbridge to Pips (around 70 miles). Not the cheapest I\'m sure but a really good service, can\'t really put a price on peace of mind!
