Just fitted some new decals... finally got round to colour coding the de mister and A.C like the rest.

Oh and I've got "SS" added to the rear badge so thought I'd add it to the Cerbera branded filter cover wink

What I'm really please with is my OBD2 app managed to find the live sensor for Fuel Rail Pressure (Absolute) so my next job will be setting the range so I know it's psi when tank is full that way I won't get caught out by the cars gauge telling me I have a 1/4 tank then halting the car... AGAIN!

Just ordered new bonnet mushrooms as I'm thinking the felt pads are great but for a car in the class I'm going for look a bit too diy so mushrooms to go a bit more factory spec I thinks.

Also ordered the rubbe grommets for the striker plate as mine are perishing badly. to further reduce vibration

All ordered from TVR Parts only down sid was £7.80 all inc. for 4 bits of rubber.

Should be with me tomorrow

Not full run in 1200miles done. Oil changed but we decided to do tappets next week (i can add more miles and get a courtesy as it will be a few days and mapping RR session too).

I'm allowed up on to 5k rpm

All going great. Loving the obd2 app feature

We need an Incognegro Cerb open day just to look over and see this beast in action hehe Surely when you've dialled in your traction control you'll come and join the other great Tvr boys at Shakespear Raceway one weekend and set some records.

I'll ask Jay as I'm not sure your ODB app will work on my Mbe.
Would love to have it. Screen shots look great and easier to see the parimeters on the move than lap top.
Must be fantastic yes

Just to add, my Mbe on the 4.6 Chim and nearly two years in, the map, I've had a new diff and clutch so the transmissions smooth and taught, it's trimming itself down to 700 revs biggrin
Unbelievable how it will pull from 800 revs with no shunting, this makes 1000 revs through roundabouts without clutch action possible. Wow. Mbe awesome kit. bow

Classic Chim would love to join you boys at Shakey events.

Not sure which obd2 app your referring too but I have switched from the one I was originally going to use.



The above is the software packaged with the OBDLink LX module and the speeds are instant. A couple more tweeks to make but very very pleased with it.

I will be a novice against you guys but I'll hold my own wink

Finally got round to fiddling with my OBDII app and now have the reading for the Wideband Lambdas.

I was thrown as it was not looking for bank and sensor instead it is recognised as "Location of oxygen sensors".

Now thats all done I have set a range of 0-4 (between 0-2 running rich and 2-4 lean I think).

Oh and also have engine load as a %

Yesterday night ish. After lots of advice from "Rufus Roughcut" I fitted the electric relay so no more hyper flashing of led indicators.

Found the screw in n/s front causing slow puncture but the bigger replacements at 225/40/18 were skimming arch on a static lock to lock test so had to switch back. Found some 225/35/18 in the shape of conti sport contact 2 so getting today wink

After seeing what a stone can do to someone else's po headlights and the cost/Agro of replacements, I spent some time armourfending my fronts. Clear for the dipped as they are HID colour anyway and some pearl for the hi beam. Material I've had in garage for ages so no hassle.
Would have been better and easier to do with the lamps out though.

^^^ I have the traditional Lucas lamps and may still be worth doing this at some point.

I do however like your bonnet vents and would seriously consider similar when/if I
get some paintwork done. There will no doubt be a thread somewhere but were
they a hassle to do and have you noticed a reduction in temps at all?

Went to a wee car show in Dundee today, a local Ultima was present, now when
Mrs Sticky moans about the Cerbera, I start to talk about the Ultima want.......

....This is working very well in TVR's favour biggrin

Cheers
Sticky.
