Quick clean up this morning and checked fluids before CSF. Fill up and good to go. Looking forward to trying out the Ar1, see what its like on fresh semi slicks.
You need proper diagnostics to see why the light is actually coming on, eml could be on due to fuelling issue flagging up lambda, not actual lambda fault. Cat might be knackered etc.
Just had a reckon up on journey time and 4h20 for me. Depending on traffic prob be 6 hours with stops.
Bring on the noise from the side exit exhaust on the tunnels on the a55.
Rideheight a bit low maybe? I run mine on stock top mounts and doesnt knock. I assume internal bumpstop with the monotube design.
Used to get similar knocking on the saxos with monotube bilsteins years ago when too low/run out of travel.
Apparantly the MMT in the octane booster does it. First time i had one out to see the evidence.
Smoke machine is mega wish i had invested years ago. I used to pressure the boost circuit up but still difficult to pinpoint small leaks. Can see the smoke straight away.
Sat updates.
Treated it to a new set of plugs as not changed them for years. Old ones were still around 0.7mm gap when checked so wasnt really necessary but at £3 a plug for ngk bcr8es its not hurting.
Brown tinge from MMT in VP racing octanium octane booster i have used in the past.

Technomagnesio alloys with fresh Ar1's are on.
Quick run out to check all good.
Driveway congestion.
Massive improvement in turn in. Also massive downgrade in comfort and noise as per usual for semi slicks.
Quick wash, fuel up and csf here we come.
Thanks for reading!!
Axle stands over ramps all day long. Way too much aggro getting a lowered car onto ramps and then usually in the way.
Best thing you can do is buy a low profile jack with 100mm plate. Safe and can get to the chassis rail underneath so no need to wreck the sill.
Cheers mate. Cars all over!! :LOL:
Mrs is currently cleaning the 250 interior, its absolutely unmarked with yellow dot recaros, rs monitor, dual climate etc. Previous owner said he had never used the boot and it looks like it too as the rear trim doesnt have a mark on it.
Its loads quicker...

Heatwave so decide to sort the brakes out on the Extra for CSF.
Give the front brake pipe a quick squirt with plusgas and cracked straight off with my new ching spec ratchet spanner.
Works suprisingly well for a cheapo.
Calipers, discs and pafs off and cleaned hubs up to get any...
