Changed the pre cat lambda and it made the car 1000 times better, thanks! :smile: still got a hesitation though occasionally, am thinking injectors? No codes and I've replaced most other things. Most of my journeys are very short, maybe it needs a decoke!

Ah so it's just a straight tube sticking out the inlet with a hose pushed on it, cheers :)

Quick question, from memory there is a sensor or vacuum hose near the throttle body on the upper inlet which you need to disconnect to remove the inlet, is it just a push fit? Am sure I tried to remove it last year and it wouldn't budge, don't want to snap it off.

Cheers bud will try that :)

Someone has suggested could be fuel filter issue (blocked) car has only done 85k, is it usual for the filters to get clogged up? I see the service interval is 150k, how hard is it to get to the filter to check? Thanks

Hmm so checked the code and it had gone, checked and replaced the coilpack (even though it looked mint) and still got the same problem. Is much worse when cold, leads/plugs you think? Any other ideas, no codes other than brake pedal/traction control occasionally, but that has always come and...

Good point, I'll try that first! The garage did say it would refresh with the ignition switched off and back on though and it did get a lot better so assumed it had worked.

Hi guys, my 182 has started holding back/misfiring especially when cold, I put it on a scanner which found the air temp sensor to be playing up so I changed it which made the car much better but it is still there. No other codes came up, does it sound like a coilpack issue? I'm guessing it...

Thanks, I'll try swapping the motors over :)

So my boot lock broke the other day, took it apart and the little plastic lug had snapped, just got another one from Renparts which I checked internally and the lug is intact however the boot still wont lock, I disconnected the battery to reset the central locking but still no joy, any ideas?

Reading that link everyone else says that's incorrect...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMIo8GlMflo Quite a few, xbox users have it even worse.

They keep blaming discs/hdd etc, it's b****cks, 1000's of people can't play the game after a quick google search, guessing they will release a patch at some point. On their technical advise page where someone asks 'it keeps crashing if I fail mission x' is 'try not to fail mission x' actual LOL.

Game keeps freezing, character randomly starts levitating, what a pile of s**t lol

Yeah :) no I rang my brother to check if he wanted a copy

Damn this forum, just went into Tesco and bought 2 copies!

Ha ha hi bud small world!

This one goes a lot better than a 182! It's just as good on fuel if not better. Of course a 182 is a better car hence why I have one as a daily. I was going to go the turbo route and still might but tbh I want to get it handling spot on first it has plenty of power as it is.

National trust sticker ftw ;)

Yeah it's not too bad, still a work in progress, some people love it some people hate it I couldn't care less tbh I built it for fun and it puts a smile on my face so good enough for me :D I don't mean to come across angry so my apologies if I did. I know the guy on MP, I'll be buying some...

It has Watsons coil spring replacement units up front with adjustable dampers, rear is individualised and I have modified new radius arms to accept dampers/coilovers. Has front and rear anti roll bars, poly bushed MGF lower arms (increases camber slightly) but I have a rose jointed set being...

Thanks Chip, it does look slow but believe me it goes ok, power to weight is 238, here's a list of similar cars power to weight: Nissan 300ZX - (180) Mitsubishi Evo VIII - (199) Audi RS2 - (201) Subaru Impreza WRX STi - (207) Vauxhall VX220 Turbo - (215) Lotus Elise R - (223)

Gee this is why I don't post much on here, the shell is solid hence why it was chosen for the engine swap, the previous owner welded a new arch in and obviously messed the prep up as the paint has blistered there, It's being fixed soon.

Lol, this is my car, I have a 182 as a daily, the Metro rapes it in a straight line, dyno'd at 203bhp and 155lbft. The brakes/tyres/suspension all been sorted too. It's just something I built to have fun in and not care if it gets bashed a bit.

Thanks JD, I have Dodo Juice Lime Prime and Autoglym SRP so will try those on the carbon.

Seeing how people were good at helping me last time I thought I'd ask some more questions :) I need a recommendation for tyre dressing, durability not really a problem as the car is only driven on dry days. Also, I need a product to clean carbon fibre that has a clearcoat over the top, any ideas?

School boy error lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6l6OV5xJm_M

Was just thinking this, save for another year, buy house at 18 :)
