I would try measuring the resistance between the canbus high/low (OBD port has a tail), should be 120ohm, give those repairs a wiggle and see if it changes.

Yeah, I have done it using one of the CLIP copies. However I do remember reading about a way to trick the TB into a reset by holding the butterfly fully open when you turn the ignition on as it does some sort of reset (don't start) and then turn ignition off and on again with the butterfly...

Have you tried running RZ005 reprogramming? It goes through a reset of high/low stops.

Have you looked at the throttle body and pedal connections and the plug to the ECU? From memory I think the engine will cut out like this if the ECU thinks it has lost connection with either.

I don’t think the 89% max is an issue as it’s learnt the high stop is at 89% of the full travel (0-5v) From memory mine was 87% however the 44% is odd, does this jump around if you move the connector by the pedals? I had to replace the connector and contacts as I was getting an error code.

Sorry don’t want to scare you but 15 minutes toe out is very aggressive, I imagine in the racers with Cook at the wheel they probably ran this much but it’s going to be loose especially on the brakes whilst cornering hence mentioning Coram. The toe in on the front should help things but not...

Jesus, good luck with Coram with that much toe out Regarding the bump stops I did a lot of work to stop the car hitting the bump stops as it makes the car very tricky to handle under compression. I was getting an oscillating type motion that was causing the car to load/unload the front tyres.

What are the codes?

The Clio has continued its form, now with an upgraded driver it scored a pole and 2 wins at Donington! I actually really enjoyed watching someone else racing it, maybe that is telling me something. Back to the lotus and I have severely underestimated the amount of work required, what I...

From memory it’s in here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KGJK4tw-j2Qh2v6akfWl5Py5jKzheshZ/view

Compression test, if you have bent a valve it will be obvious however if it has survived since I wouldn’t be concerned as it would have likely already dropped by now..

As a middle ground you could put a set of 10mm PMS stub axle spacers on, I had a set on mine.

I would replace with new, especially if one has failed! Cheap from auto doc

Are they new or used? Normal recommendation is to soak in diesel if you can ‘squeeze’ them however tbh you can just fit them and wait for the tapping to stop.

The Clio sold, the new owner is looking to race in a few series this year (RoadSports / BRSCC) so will be good to see how he gets on. Back in December I bought a Lotus Elise S1, I have been looking seriously for about 6 months but tbh I have dreamt of owning one since I was about 12 when...
