Fairly sure that's what Alex said to me too :tearsofjoy:

I'll bring mine round after it dies around Knockhill then!

Big toe little toe is the way I do it too. My mates Exocet has some form of autoblip on it and it's very odd to use.

It's gunna be you isn't it Gav. First time out.:grin:

I hate to say it but I think running that treacle-like gearbox oil may have been a bad move. Even when I had air in my clutch system and the bite point was on the floor, the car never struggled to go into gear. Interesting to see the difference in lap times and I'm glad I'm not the only one...

There's very few vacuum lines on these. Only thing I'd be looking at is if the inlet manifold has been off and the gasket needs replacing. Last time mine had a rough idle it was a lambda sensor, the voltages were within spec apparently but it was picked up by Andy at ED when he mapped it. I...

Booked on for an evening session at Snetterton on the 14th so it was time to knock all the bird poo and dust off the old girl Comes up alright, still no show pony though! In other news I changed the wheels on the X5 and generally tidied it up, it's had some... "tasteful" mods in the past so...

No real updates to the car in all honesty. It hasn't been touched since Oulton, fired it up and drove it onto the trailer to go around Blyton for the day. Mucky pup. The widebody Clio in the background has a built K20 with a big turbo on it, sadly he was having boost issues. It was a Javelin...

Godspeed don't need any more excuses to crack, I'd follow their guidelines with a set of decent used pads. Almost worth keeping a set of standard Brembo pads for bedding discs in maybe?

Godspeed discs strike again! :tearsofjoy:

Who's the TDO on that one? I like Blyton, it's a fun little track that you can just lap and lap and lap all day long.

I had a similar(ish) issue with mine where it always felt like it was in limp mode. It was the camshaft sensor. The new one I had fitted was the wrong type and while it worked for mapping, it ultimately failed. I even went as far as getting the intake camshaft changed by a friend and it was...

My mate had the same issue with his sports cat, they need to be mega hot to work properly. Even then the tester had to get creative as it was still failing. Odd looking at your readings though as mine was only high on co2 and mine is decatted. I think when it came to Lambda sensors I replaced...

Oulton Park. Car survived. Did some laps, didn't crash. I'll take that as a win. Got to keep an eye on the oil level with this new engine, it seems to use more than my old one however it's not a cause for concern. I ended the day when the oil level had dropped to the minimum and I realised I'd...
