What have you done to your car today......

[waveydavey1000]

Thought I'd start this off

Had mine decatted and new unrestictive inlets to the back box. Its now noticably quicker, free revving and sounds raspy and throaty with a lovely bass tone.
Can highly recommend Top Gear Performance nr Doncaster.
Well pleased!

Mr Cerbera said:

.... and you did all that yesterday ??

What an industrious little cabbage you are.

I, on the other hand, was driven to my MRI where the consultant said that I couldn't drive for another month

I didnt do a thing except drive it onto the ramps, the guys at Top Gear did it all while I watched and read the occasional mag!
So glad I took it there though.
Roll on another month so you can get to drive yours

[waveydavey1000]

Took her out for a blast in the sunshine, bit of motorway cruising and a bit of "A" road fun!
Then washed and dried her and tucked her up in the garage.
All is good in Cerbera world!

[waveydavey1000]

Took mine to a local "Jap" meet last night where it caused quite a stir.... the guys were all over it.
Also some very encouraging remarks, especially from a nice blonde lady!

[waveydavey1000]

Put the battery on charge after the dreaded click, click, click on start up.
OK Guys, who's cut a hole in the scuttle pannel so you can get to the negative terminal on the battery?
Gotta be a no brainer?

[waveydavey1000]

Just had a proper look at the terminal and its under the wing! What kind of idiot thought that one up?
Thanks for the air con body tip

[waveydavey1000]

With help from N7GTX on here, diagnosed a misfire as coil pack breaking down under load, so ordered new ones, then fitted my private plate. Took it to a local charity car show and parked it next to a black Lambo Avantador!
I suppose there's worse ways of spending a Saturday....

[waveydavey1000]

Haha...Brilliant!
Seriously though, well done on sorting out the problem.
I mean the car not the bloke!

[waveydavey1000]

Went to open the Cerb and the alarm went off(ear splitting noise!)and discovered the battery was flat. So, being a new owner vaguely remembered that to get in you have to know "the secret".
Fortunately I knew "the secret" and eventually got in.
Tried to start the car and got dreaded "click click click".
Put the battery on charge and covered her up again.

ps thanks N7GTX

[waveydavey1000]

Youre absolutely right N7GTX, mad busy at work recently.
I need to get the 6 numbers up and retire!

[waveydavey1000]

Managed to find a bit of time and took the Cerb out for a good old blast round the lanes....The car was awesome! She definitely drives better in the cooler weather. Even with some spirited driving, the engine temp never got above 75 degrees.
I will change the coil packs and leads in the winter, but at the moment she's flying!

[waveydavey1000]

Hahaha...had a lucky escape. I started the Cerb up in the garage and let it warm through while I was tinkering about with a battery charger on the bench. Jumped in the car and went round to my mates house about 5 miles away. Got out the car and stopped the engine and to my horror realised I had left the keys at home in the garage....I quickly pressed the button and to my amazement it started!
Luckily I had restarted it before the immobiliser had kicked in, needless to say I drove staight home and collected the keys!

[waveydavey1000]

Took mine out to take advantage of the winter sun and the low price of petrol at the moment.
Shell V Power at £1.21/litre, so I put £50 worth in, got a thumbs up from a guy in a VXR 220 and went for a blast!
The Cerb really does prefer the colder outside air temps, even had to put the heater on!
Happy Dayz...

[waveydavey1000]

Put the battery on charge, AGAIN!

[waveydavey1000]

Theres been a bit of a debate on tyre pressures on the Cerb Facebook page lately, so I thought I'd better check mine.

22 PSI all round....EEEK!

Blew them up to 26 front and 28 rear and the car feels much better planted.

Can't wait for the dry roads to fully "test" them!

[waveydavey1000]

Changed the coil packs but haven't cured the problem. Have downloaded the AJP app so will have a look at the ECU tomorrow. Hopefully it will be something simple like TP's or Lambda breaking down?

[waveydavey1000]

Chasing an intermittent misfire recently. Have changed the coil packs, lambdas, checked plugs and done a compression test....still no joy!
Thinking maybe HT leads or injector.
No Burghley for me this year

[waveydavey1000]

Still trying to track down the rough running...so far I.ve changed the coil packs, HT leads,plugs, and both lambdas all to no avail.
I got Aides app and found that that at 1000 rpm the adaptive 1 was -4.3 and adaptive 2 13.9 both TP's around 15% but interestingly both InjA and InjB at 0.000?

Anyone got any ideas?

[waveydavey1000]

I was beginning to think that Aide...Given the above adaptive figures which side manifold do you suspect to be cracked?
Also any idea why the Inj A and B would read zero?

Cheers

[waveydavey1000]

Think I've got to the bottom of the rough running on the Cerb. Took it out for a run after changing the coil packs, plugs, leads and lambdas, suddenly there was an almighty bang and the exhaust note went up about 50 dBs!
The result was a gaping hole in the original backbox.
I reckon all the wadding inside had collapsed and blocked the outlet.

Booked in on Thursday for new sports boxes!
