    Limp Mode

    After start up, that's normal... considering the watertemp is not up! > 70ºC = more revs! I went to a Renault Service Center, to have the ECU read out / fault code removed. Costs? I know on monday, forgot the quote. :D

    Limp Mode

    A dirty or loose connection will give a high resistance and a rich mixture signal send to the ECU! If it is running rich the main determinant for fuel is the engine coolant temperature sensor.

    Limp Mode

    Just had the same occurence! - Fault in engine management system (coil symbol) - Air pollution / emission (engine symbol) Booked in on Monday for soldering in a new ballast/resistor in for the throttlebody. Got the ECU read-out this morning! So def. not lambda sensor related. Car runs fine...

    Mini's aren't gay!

    mK. I just sounds G.A.Y. thanks to that whiney Chrysler engine. Smaller pulley won't help either. They do run on rails!

    Sprayed my bumper below grille.

    Mean? :D Muha Looks like it's missing something... like the rest of a Focus RS! Turini's and lowered is still King! Why... because it looks so good and it is Renault Sport. Not Ford Motor Company 'Rallye Sports'... Vinyl wrap is cheaper then a 'pro rattlecan job'! :rasp:

    Carbon Vinyl'd Roof

    Sho' nuff it's a b***h doing a large panel alone... especially the roof. Respect mate for doing it alone! :star:

    Weird handling characteristic and shock replacement advice.

    My rightside rear shock was leaking/empty... just working like a bicycle pump. Skated around when turning left @ certain speeds or sharp bends. And also crashy on bumps! Sounds just like your problems. Red springs could be Eibach Sportlines? Get 2 new shocks and all should be good. No good...

    why do xenons need washers?

    Also we have these auto leveling lights, unlike those chavs or any other regular people changing to those cool 'blue' 40.000 K H4 units! Washers are indeed silly, but some bureacrat thoght that it was wise to come with a law to carry them. Mines don't work can't be bothered to change to those...

    why do xenons need washers?

    Mines don't work when activating the windscreenwashers... they should squirt once. Alas... at the yearly MOT not a problem. As to being blinding/refrecting when, dirty... what about all the chavs running higher K lamps? Blinding crap for sure... because bright and blue looks sooo cool! So much...

    Faux Carbon wrap

    The leftover piece pic. doesn't show it but next to the correct 'carbon twill' pattern it has a unidirectional strand surface for that 3D effect like actual carbon. Only gelcoated carbon gets a deeper sheen, lights gets interferred more... Here's a pic. of a Elise in matte 'dry carbon'...

    Track day bodyroll

    The bumpstops smoothens out the suspension when fully compressed, preventing bottoming-out ie. cushioning them. Depending on the hardness (durometer). I had these on my Rover Mini 1.3Mpi, like a Mini has that much suspension travel. ;)

    Faux Carbon wrap

    It's only 100 Micron in thickness... so a heat gun will blow it! The hairdryer was only to used to conform the foil across the 2.0 16v lettering. On the diamond it was just applied 'cold'. Letfover piece.: Streamline Carbon bullets.:
