[The Batman]

so it past its mot

 

900miles in 14 months is good right?

[gaffer1986]

65 miles a month... That's painful to hear.

[The Batman]

not ideal but a lot of work was done over that period and had a few issues along the way... but hey winter is almost here so lets get a winter job list going?!!

 

1. rev lights - kind of needed now im revving of the clock.

2. 48L pro alloy fuel tank

3. spitfire fuel pump and canister

4. get map checked by CPL Racing

5. bigger roof scoop

6. cut front arch liners and fit mesh to make the clam/sill vents work

 

but i think thats it! unless CPL Racing have developed there itbs by then

Wut, no rotrex this winter?

 

[The Batman]

Na no need for it

[The Batman]

Present arrived

[gaffer1986]

I wouldn't have thought you need a bigger tank given your mileage

[The Batman]

Lightness and glorious baffles/anti surge foam and one way valves are the key

I used a whole 16 litres in the 40 minute race 😂

you never told me it was lighter 

lol

[The Batman]

offcourse it is lighter, just not when its full

 

16L mark! this is perfect race for a northerner

[The Batman]

Well the loti has developed a slight vtec issue

It's perfect for first couple of minutes driving (once warm) then when I come onto vtec around 5k it feels really restrictive and laggy until after 6k when I think it's normal.

So decided to do an oil change, whilst there cleaned the undertray. May get this Powdercoated soon



Also removed the vtec solenoid and cleaned it out. Just about to take this out for a spin. Hoping it's all ok now!

[VXT Tim]

Sorted?

[The Batman]

na just got in from the last test run for the day. but its still doing it

 

highly frustrating as its fine for the first 2/3 times i go into vtec but after that it bogs down and feels like a restriction. im guessing its going into limp mode.

 

going to look at the vehicle speed sensor and throttle position sensor tomorrow but can only spend a couple of hours as got a meeting to attend to

[chris_uk]

its not something daft like the intake collapsing is it?

[The Batman]

hope not its metal!

 

but im 100% sure its going to be something daft... apparently if the vss isnt reading correct then it wont engage vtec. also the tps can throw a problem aswell..

 

but to be honest im not convinced its either of them..

[smiley]

Wheelerdealers did an episode with a broken vtec part. But its probably not that.
