Car now in Rude Health

[Evoman]

Today had me smiling like a Cheshire cat

After a run in the car this morning to get a new lambda sensor fitted along with a set of new Iridium spark plugs, the comparison of how it was running with lambda disconnected and the other plugs is night and day. The car is back to how it was, ballistic. The urgency of power delivery is so engaging to drive, its just brilliant. I forgot how brilliant it is, it's mega!

Probably getting fewer now the opportunities to take out the little Exige as the cooler months approach but oooh how it gets under your skin with that intergalactic surge of power. Fantastic

Track day on Friday!

Great to hear it's back to full capability. What plugs did you use? I'm coming to the conclusion that mines down on power too. Different reasons though.

Hey Ferg

I ended up putting a spreadsheet together with the various choices of plug that owners have used and experienced, call me pedantic but I just felt the plugs was a big factor as it ran great on Iridium plugs before that were a different heat range. The anti-fouling factor was also part of my selection choice. It was also back on an emissions test machine and was very nearly spot on with I think around 300ppm HC and 1.14 or thereabouts for lambda. The NGK BKR7EIX were the plugs I went for. Honestly it's barking mad the performance now. The lambda sensor which was also NGK from Elise parts was also quite different from the one fitted.

I read about Friday and well I am tempted. If the sun was going to be shining I'd be there!

Sun shmun, you have a roof... Get it booked.

Glad to hear you got to the bottom of it and good effort with collating all the (sometimes contradictory) information floating about out there.

Preferably sun for me Shug as I have no pax window.

I had an S1 shower cape but can not find it as that would have helped overnighting at Robin's.

I realise Knockhill has it's own unique weather system but it may just be alright, wether I bring the car on track tho is another matter, maybe just maybe, gotta get some work out the way today then I'll see if there's still some spaces left.

[tut]

No prob with spaces.

I'd love to come along but too short on time to get the car across and get tyres fitted first and I've got some more work to finish first
I may try an make it along just to support the event tho

Damp with tyres almost on the wear markers for me... Should be fun, get booked
