hi all,

I am new to this site and am still trying to work my way around the site.
I have just purchased my second 1275gt after my last one caught fire in a garage fire about five years ago :errr:
I am begining to remember my love hate relationship I had with ugp 275w.
Picked up my "new" gt on friday from south yorkshire and drove it back to london(not with out faults may I add).
Since owning the new car It has spent its first two days in the operating theater having a positive power lead replaced and starter problem sorted.
I have noticed the car smells of fuel,and the breather filter is blowing out vast amounts of smoke that is making me feel a bit dizzy shouldi say .

Was thinking of taking the car to mini speed for a full tune up and a good going over,can anyone advise me on the best way to go about sorting things out with out throwing buckets of cash on it like i did last time round?
Also I was thinking of super charging the car before driving it down to italy for the summer :(
Once again a big hello and Thank you .
