Re: Goodbye IMOC hello Ford Focus owners....

How come this guy gets to say goodbye in the general section and when I tried it my post got moved. Could Lauren have finally chilled out a bit?.....

Re: what do yous think of this?

I sent it twice but don't know where it went, anyway the gist of it was that I've got this for sale and I'm not too far away. In fact I think I once overtook you near the Reebok stadium and you put a post in the "spotted" section a while back. http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/WWW/CARS_popu...

Re: Think the tubby is finally going to have to go....

Cheers for the advice people, I've been out in S2000s before and they are great machines! Its just if I was gonna get one then I'd rather keep the 2 as its faster and about as practical, Think I'll go with the CTR as I reckon its gonna be a lot more fun on B roads than a real wheel drive just for pu...

Think the tubby is finally going to have to go....

Yes, after 2 years of ownership i think I'm finally going to have to sell the 2. I've fancied something newer for a while now, and, after weighing up running costs/fuel usage and after looking at evo7s and scoobies and the like I think i've now decided on.... a Civic Type R, this is still open to op...

Re: Aerial Problems

Does the wire have to be grounded in someway?
I was also told that metal of the boot would act as a shield?

Re: On/Off Switch Found

Could be a switch to the power for the ECU. So that you can reset the ECU by turning the switch off for two minutes or so?

Just an idea :roll:

Re: Rev3 Conversion 6000rpm Rev Limit

My car came in from japan with this exact problem. It was a rev3 engine with a rev2 igniter (fitted fine).

On Dino (MR2 Mania)'s advice i found a late model igniter and the car has never missd a beat.

I'll eat one of my tyres if thats not the problem :lol:

In the same journey and conditions, ie booting it in 4th I sometimes get a really rich reading and som...

I've got an EVC4 on mine and its a piece of p1ss to set up???
