At a wild guess check the lambda wiring is not shorted out, Seen this happen on ph2 which pops the fuse. Might not apply to ph1 but i dont believe the wiring is massively different
I have also only done Cadwell 2 times in November on semi slicks, and it was dry but slippy as fcuk due to conditions. Did not die.
Looking forward to a summer one, should be peak weather. The track is mega, technical yet fast.
Might take 2 cars if its split am/pm again.
With my luck i can imagine it blocking the rad up. Horrible s**t that stuff. I did chuck it in an old banger i had with leaking matrix and it cured it though, no idea if it failed on the next owner :LOL:
Indeed, absolute ballache of a job. On the newer renaults, its a half hour job with the joint inside.
Did you borescope your heater box to check for leaks? Ive seen a little bit of coolant loss recently but barely nothing. However it smells like somebody has sprayed a can of hairspray in the...
Can report that the blue dci goes a bit better now the airtemp sensor fault has gone. I thought it felt a bit flat recently.
In other news, the heater matrix is probably leaking again on the blue dci. Noticed a sweet smell/hairspray smell over the last few days with heater on so its pointing at...
Updates.
Coated the bumpers and all plastic trims on the Extra. In the past i done them with bumper gel, it never lasts more than one wash though and the trims go back to looking s**t.
Ive tried most of the good ceramic bumper coatings and some are pretty crap durability wise, however had mega...
Sunday update.
Inlet done. I removed another unused bracket on the front, cut the clearance required for cam sensor on 197 head and started to remove some of the oem renault casting marks. I was going to remove all the casting marks and smooth the lot, but stopped as its time consuming and not...
Updates.
More mods done to the inlet in prep for the ecumaster black ecu upgrade.
Removed a couple of brackets that wont be used again and tapped the oem map sensor hole to suit an adaptor for a takeoff for the new ecu. Also removed the electronic breather crap, plugged with a bung and...
Updates.
Blue dci washed a couple of weeks ago.
Its back up to its eyes in s**t again after constant rain after.
On Monday this week it started up as normal, ran for a minute or so then dropped onto what sounded like 3 cylinders and eml on. I turned it off and restarted and it fired up as...
Done a few govy jobs over the last few days.
Sat - Ecumaster black sebimotorsport PnP standalone ecu install on a high powered megane r26.
The car has been recently mapped at 458hp, built engine/large garrett g25 585 turbo on oem ecu, which was pretty crap as boost was too agressive. This...
Updates.
Car tetris to get the Extra out of the garage yesterday.
A quick wash off and a run round the block confirms all seems ok. Will get it booked in for mot this week.
Thanks for reading!!
f**k chatgpt off for starters :LOL:
Voltage should be 13.8+ when running. Id verify with test meter.
Needs scanning with clip to see whats stored. Might be pedal, tb or wiring at a guess.
As above racesport/ast springs. Get them blasted and powdercoated if not too bad.
Alloy spigots are the way forward, ive had a few sets off aliexpress. No need to loctite grease them up.
Place that done it has done a few recaros for me over the years. Price has never gone up since i got the last one done 8 years ago, its mad. Always do a decent job too.
Suprisingly decent. The weight is same or slightly heavier than the oem weighted gearknob which is good, gives a good shift.
