    Dash light comes on and car goes into limp mode

    I had the same problem. I cleaned the throttle pedal box which helped. I later took off the throttle body and cleaned that, also cleaning the connections.

    What tyres for fast road?

    I run the AD08R's and love them, Bit twitchy in the wet but i rarely take it out when it rains. Did a full track day at Brands last dec and the morning was wet, scary as hell going into Paddock but after a few laps an with some heat in the tyres it was ok.

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Refreshed the engine mounts with some power flex bushes. Top engine, Dogbone and Upper gearbox. Wow what a difference, feels much smoother and slots into gear so easily.

    Took the Cup to Lydden for a sprint meeting. Run in class A4 standard production with list 1B tyres. Managed to hold the lead from the first run and get my time down to 91.77 for the class win.

    I had this on a recent track day, plugged my OBD reader in and it gave the pedal position switch as the fault. Pulled the connector off and cleaned connections and popped it back on. No problems since

    Roll on from 30mph

    My PZ will stay with an M3 through the lanes all day long, and on track days i have yet to have the honda pass me. i have sprinted now for 4 years and regulary come up against integra type R's and S2000's. Both of which cannot beat me. I am not saying I'm some driving god or i have a super fast...

    My RX is the same, no torque and is often compared to the S2000.

    Roll on from 30mph

    Was out this evening and was about to join a motorway from a filter lane, due to the potential ice on the road i was only doing 30. There was a Honda S2000 in front of me travelling at the same speed. Once straight he gunned it down the road, i had already pre empted this and accelerated at the...

    172 Cup rescue

    Well after a few weeks of not doing anything to it i managed to get a full cut, polish and carnauba wax done before my track day at Brands on friday. Also changed the oil and filter so now in tip top condition. A nice drive out to a local spot for some pictures, shame the light was just to low.

    Firestick with Kodi

    Yeah the Firestick is OK with Kodi, But you should be looking at the Fire TV box. You get 4K content plus the extra processing power. I run 2 boxes and a stick in my house. Basically i depends on your internet connection and patience. If you think its going to replace your Sky/Virgin box then...

    Blue Book Changes

    Has a new class been created then? If so i apologise for not knowing. I was under the impression class A1 and A2 were basically standard production classes as before with tighter rules to allow people to join in with standard cars and not let people with minimal modifications out class them. I...
