Whatever you do don't try and go red. The pigment in red isn't strong enough to cover the existing colour. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Stating the bloody obvious but have you had the codes read again? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Tried reading that thread but it's pyyyyyaaaar long. Didn't he get the plenum fitted at Horsham before they did any dyno work though? I can't see any 'before' figures unless I'm missing something? Isn't that a pic of the after figures? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Well I never knew that. Dratted yanks Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

What I think it is, is that especially with the DE they add such a piffling amount before and even after a remap only a moderate improvement. Before the remap I think it's hardly noticeable. We had a thread by some guy who had near word for word done the same mods you listed above and was complaining he felt no improvement. High RON fuel makes no difference to power output. Plenum spacers allows more air to back 2 cylinders, velocity stack gets the air in quicker and more turbulent but unless the ECU knows how to fuel the engine to make the best of all of this then it will be pretty marginal I reckon. I thought the uprev gave about 20-30 BHP increase? Hardly seems worth the bother if it was only 10 BHP. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Actually I think it quotes 87 for lower grade in yank cars.......something equating to urine after you've had a berocca Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Lol I only use the good stuff but I'm quoting from the manual. Go look it up. Isn't that for yank cars (hence Dans none to subtle yank hillbilly reference) ? Can you even buy 91 Ron in the UK? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

You don't want to speak to an expert who has he data to back it up and you don't want to listen to amatuers who've been there and done it. No offence pal but what are you actually looking for? none of us own a rolling road. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Trufax matey. Proof is in the 100's of us who've done it and seen nish improvement. Bear in mind even the assorted 'usual' mods only see about 30bph increase after a remap. Pop chargers always make me smile when people say they've seen no improvement........if anything they ale the car lose power Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Oh and by the way. ....if you do a poor job expect to see it peeling off in about 6 months! See the Honda Accord thread in my subsection Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I do leather reconnolisation (pigmenting). It's not dyed anymore unless it's Analine leather. For a decent kit it'll cost you a fair few hundred quid. Si will do you a quality retrim and I can do you a reconnolisation. It's a fairly tricky process but not impossible to the untrained. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Great to see you happy mate. I remember not so long ago you were a mere snack sized chocolate bar and now there are 2 of you. Glwts Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Maybe one of the retaining pins has given up the ghost. Only way to check is strip it off and have a gander really. Jack her up and spin the wheel too see how bad it's binding. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

If you were under very low load or idle when it crapped out you might get away with the garage clearing the cylinders and a few other remedial bits. Otherwise it's bent conrods and all other manner of hell Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Garage for definite. Honestly you'll be lucky if it's not snafu with it cutting out. Chances are it's hydrolocked Don't try and start it whatever you do Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

See I think that's a bit of a muddled explanation but someone with more nouse might be able to clarify. Pinking is knocking......not pre - ignition. Knock (pinking) occurs on the down stroke once the sparky has fired but the combustion is abnormal (hence you get pressure spikes which cause a knock or pinging sound). This in small doses is not usually catastrophic and knock sensor reports back to the engine which adjusts the timing. Cumulative effect can cause what the chappy above has said, some symptoms of which can lead to preignition Pre ignition occurs before the sparky fires on the upstroke which is why is far more catastrophic. The air fuel mixture doesn't just abnormally combust it combust when it shouldn't and therefore sends a combustion front hurtling full pelt towards and upstroking piston Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

As I remember Docwa said to me that you always need to remember there are knock sensors and knock sensors. Remember as well that for a knock sensor to work the engine is already experiencing knock. Knocks not great for the engine but the bigger issue is preignition can be caused by long term knock due to improper fuel use. Knock - abnormal combustion outside of the combustion front in the combustion phase of the cycle (I.E the upper part of combustion stroke/start of exhaust stroke).......so abnormal but piston still travelling away from the combustion front Pre ignition - ignition of fuel and air on the upstroke of the piston before the spark plug fires causing a combustion front headed downwards towards an upstroking piston.......kabooooooom engine dead. RON of the fuel determines it's compression tolerance if you like. Lower octane is tolerant to less compression. Use lower octane in a zed and when lashing it and the compression/temperatures rise....fuel puts up less of a fight before blowing it's load. Knock (can be less serious if not severe knock) can cause damage to piston and combustion chamber giving sharp edges, irregular surface, and damage to the cylinder boundary layer of gas. Then you're into danger of preignition A knock sensor won't do jack for a pre - igniting cylinder as far as im aware. Prob not 100% accurate but thst should sort of get you there in layman's terms!
