Ahhh that’s good then, I know the M3cutters forum is still ruined from changes photobucket made! That hasn’t been sorted unfortunately! I’ll be updating my thread soon then hopefully :) hope all is well Steve

I’ve been a little lapse with uploading my progress on here! Just a quick one to whoever sees this reply, are my pictures still up and can be viewed? As I used photobucket and I know since I posted they have changed their sharing policy’s and I don’t think third party can see then, Cheers Chris

I'm lost with that one haha

Yeah just a cheap one to get it through MOT, expected it to last until I bought decat and exhaust , never mind! Ha

Da fuq? Haha

I tried mate, no luck at all...

Well... I still have a problem that for some reason I can't talk to the car... The snap on scanner I was using is a top end bit of kit, yet I can't read ' engine ' category at all... it just comes up with that it cannot connect... A job for another day! Haha

Weekends are my only play time due to working long hours during the week, I'm so glad to have found the issue and it not cost me penny... now I can book on Snetterton for next month :) big smiles all round :)

So!!!! I've found my issue!! The cat was blocked!!! Brand new cat for the MOT nearly 2 weeks ago has collapsed... It's got very hot going around Cadwell.... I'm a very happy man!! Just smashed it all out, and good news, it's not any louder than it was before! Thanks to everyone for all the...

So... I've now changed: - crank sensor ( I'm getting good at taking the air box in and out now... *sigh* ) - Checked all earths and cleaned them up - changed all smaller fuses And still no luck. Next to try will be removing the cat, see if it's blocked, lovely job when I have another car...

Need to try and find one to try then really... cheers

The grey one on right side? I've changed that The only thing I don't have is the map sensor, as I broke it getting it out of the old inlet manifold... But I'm almost certain I'd have an EML if that was faulty. If I unplug the map sensor whilst engine is running, it cuts out straight away

What's the iat sensor? Cheers

Yeah it revs freely, it's only when it's under load that it's hesitant.. And yeah I might do that as well today... Today's to do list... Change crank sensor Replace fuses Check earths ( again ) Check wiring ( again ) Unbolt exhaust and run without

Ahhh I see, got to try get hold of some then And no, not misfire, just down on power, throughout the whole rev range

The end cap plugs? Or the spark plugs? And it starts fine cold or hot. On idle, it's as good as it was before the issue I'm having whilst driving :(

Thanks man, I feel like I'm due some luck.... I have my old engine sitting there, I stripped all parts off it this morning ready for this afternoon's process of elimination... haha Yeah I refuelled over lunch, £26 off v power popped back in ( was filled with that before travelling to track )...

I did yes, not really had much luck today on replacing all of those parts :/ Can the timing be checked without having to replace the 2 seals?

Replaced them all today mate yes. Also replaced temperature switch and the little grey sensor on the right hand side of inlet manifold I've also checked HT leads and spark plugs, both fine. I've also unplugged lambda and made a massive different to how it ran ( worse ) Both cat and lambda...

It had a cat and lambda for the mot :/ I've replaced injectors, coil pack, vvt solenoid , throttle body

Hello guys So today I had a cracking morning at cadwell. Car was performing really well, this being my first track day in the car. We went offsite for some lunch, and on the way back to the track, the car was VERY hesitant... no pull at all. Usually the exhaust note changes and seems to pull...

That's useful to know, I'll try and see how I get on with it, thanks :)

I'm also interested in this, as I'm unsure too

Hello Guys, Sorry if there is already a thread up, but I couldn't find one.. I have a 182 Cup. Fitted with 15" Pro Race 1.2 Yoko AD08R's Eibach Sportlines. Whiteline Rear ARB I am wondering how to set up the whiteline rear anti roll bar for track use? The car is on the road too but it's just...

Give me a text mate, 07833970355

Just read through all of this, thoroughly enjoyed reading it and I hope I can get as much enjoyment out of my project :)

Thanks Steve, It's getting there now ha This weekend was supposed to be a nice chilled one for me ( due to working all weekend next weekend ) But instead I was taking engines in and out haha I'm glad I'm back on track though :smile:

I do hope so mate... I can't wait to get on track now once everything is done haha

So today plumbed the engine all back in and fired it up... It was great to hear the F4R engine as it should be. With only a few jobs left to do now, it's certainly getting closer to MOT time.. Just the front wheel bearing to get sorted now when it arrives. I also got around to fitting...

Yesterday was remove engine from my 182, and an hour and half drive to remove my new donor engine, and then an hour and half back to re fit my engine... Got it all fitted in but needs pipes and fluids back in. Today's task is to get it running again! Picture of yesterday's ' how much can you...
