Scottish Elises

Feel free to share your progress, haven't seen one in a while and always makes an interesting read.

Hi Michail, I could send you a map but my advice would be to use one of the standard pre-loaded maps. The K-Pro has a few base maps, and believe one even has the DC5 CAMS. You can upload this, which allows you to start the car and start the mapping process. Have you fitted a wideband lambda?. If you...

Staying at a mates, so i'll make this one.

other than the Injectors etc previously mentioned, what fuel pressure is he setting the conversations too?.

You have to add an aftermarket FPR, worth checking it's set to correct pressure (3.0bar normally for N/A) - probably fine, but worth a check.

Getting the error codes is the way to go.

FYI - The ECU is in 'Open' Loop when warming up (hardly uses any features - like Lambda sensor etc), once up to temperature then 'Closed' Loop is used (fuel tables are trimmed to optimum) yes and no, it's only open loop for <20 seconds (and usually less than 10) as soon as the ECU get's reliable la...

Well I can offer some experience now :) I picked up my Honda'd s1 from Craig earlier in the week. I stuck with the standard civic ECU and it's a bit of a pig when cold: spluttery, stalls on a closed throttle etc for the first 5 minutes until the engine warms up. Ok out in the country but a pain in ...

Yep, the 4C is Lovely. He was very nervous so toodling around. Desperatly wanted a shot, pass some of the Evos and RS's !!!!! but he wasn't keen. What didn't help was miss judging the length of the back straight on the first lap, he thought Clarks was a continuation of the straight and nearly hit it...

Thanks John, my father in law has an Alpha 4C and was looking for a quiet day at Knockhill to try it on track.

He's also interested in some photos

How are you doing Al, still have your job? tut I'm well Tut, I wasn't let go but retreated to a staff position before the envitable. Sadly the only available was in Leicester, so I commute weekly. Not complaining, as I know people who are in a far worse position (losing homes... Reducing sports car...

"I understand the issue for contractors, but have no sympathy what so ever as they are there to maximise their income first, every thing else is usually a secondary consideration." So what then is the main consideration of a member of permanent staff ?. Wherever I have worked there have always been...

It's hit me as well - was contracting the last 2 years with WGPSN but watched the department shrink from 210 to 60 in a few months so decided to move on (recently heard it's now completely gone). I was forced to take a position in Leicester and commute weekly.... it's not exactly great but at least ...

Tut, I moved house a few months back. The upstairs bathroom tap wasn't running hot water.... but after reading this I don't think I'll complain.

You don't do things by half's , glad it's all sorted and your over the worst of it.

Hope all is well.

Frank, my iMac hard drive packed in and the apple store repaired it free of charge (£200 drive normally), it's a year out of warranty. No idea why or how they did this, but i wasn't complaining.

Aye its running Kpro :) the fuel pump primes but there's a click which i assumed was the Immobiliser stopping the starter- there is the cobra box at the back near the ecu (which looks as it it was part of the original loom) i will have a good nose around this weekend hopefully when i get the time :...
