I am happy to commit 10 plus years, god i will be 45 then lol, fingers crossed for ya for tues mate

Good luck mate, just goes to show we are never to old to to start anew, lol at least us older people are more likely to turn up in the morning

looks to me like its been in a side on accident, the sill is the same colour for the length of the door, so maybe someone scraped a wall or maybe something more. I always look at cars in daylight and street light, its amazing what street lights show up

Applied for an apprenticeship as a Body repair technician, at 35, good luck to me :)

RWD, twin turbo VQ35?

did you used to have the longer cat? and did you change it to the smaller CG one? if you have the standard system, then why not chuck a lambda bung on it and tie up the sensor, or any bolt that fits. that is on the second one. As we may or may not have established the second sensor is just an...

Yes mate mine is a 1.4 coilpack. There used to be a place for it in the standard exhaust, but i have a PL system that was designed for the pre coilpack CG13, that doesnt have the second sensor, so i have had to tie my EGT sensor out the way, i also have a frank mani from a CG and a de catted...

so i am right then? EGT sensor?

i think it is mate, have a look at this and see what you think, bad pic i know it was taken just now in the dark.

But mine passed the MOT with the second one squared away, not in the flow of exhaust gas. i should get a pic of it really to show what i think mine is

Just wondering, have you maybe damaged the main lambda?

yeah sorry, it was a new cat for MOT, but i have taken that off now and have de catted CG one fitted

No. mine is fine, as i have said. No light, no drop in performance, no limp mode. Nothing. Maybe i am lucky, i dont know, i do have lots of mods and they all work hand in hand. I still say on my car at least the second sensor is an EGT sensor (no inlets on it, just a solid lump) if i am wrong...

mine passed fine, with no problems with the second sensor just cable tied up in the engine bay, i was running with a brand new cat so i dont know if that helped. My EML hasnt come on and mine has been like that for ages now, prob just lucky :)

You tried resetting your ECU?

Cant say as i found having a Coilpack has mad modding hard, its just that there are not that many on here so no one is really sure what works and what goes where and how (frank has been a great help in this department) I personally prefer the facelift facelift, better headlights IMO, but thats...

As frank said, passed my MOT with ease on emissions with a Lloyd system fitted and a CG cat fitted on a CGA lump and that was with loads of other mods. so as long as you have the right exhaust fitted and matched to the mani and cat it will be fine. i run a frank CG mani, with atm a CG primary...

seeing these MPG threads appear every week, i have lived in the north (Derby) and in the south (Swindon), seems to me the further north you go the cheaper the fuel seems to get, so 40 quid in derby gets you a fair bit further than in swindon, even traveling just 15 miles from swindon and fuel...

yeah i just watched a few of their other vids they all seem the same with the throttle opening, so maybe its a dyno thing and the way they control fueling.

actually scrub what i said, just watched in HD, the throttle bodies dont seem to be bolted to the inlet pipes very tight, the gasket seems to be very loose between the two, also the throttle opens to full yet it takes the revs 2 seconds or so to catch up, when they seem so be in sync for the...
