Was it the earth strap in the engine bay ?

I think the attessa system has more earths under the back of the car in the boot?

Glad it's sorted mate go hard !!

yeah. The earth that holds the car battery as well as an other earthing wire.

It goes alright lol

Cars cooling off after the session

the brakes were fecking hot - need to fabricate some brake cooling / air ducting next also that brake dust is nasty, predominantly because I think my rotors are not facing correctly

cleaned her up once I got home

enjoyed a well deserved beer

Nice shots antsy pants

Nice work. Was that a general fun day @Lakeside?

btw looks like one of those rear pods is sticking out a bit?

[Ants]

Been experiencing voltage drop at idle after driving the car and think it could be the battery

Over the years I have been going through wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tooooo many batteries

And after some research I am thinking my alternator is one its way out.

So I procured this

RH9 Alternator 130amps - hope this fixes the voltage drop issue (fyi it drops from 13.5 to 12.8 or lower at idle)

Came with this sticker - so cool - not that am worthy of putting that sticker on lol

Put sticker on rear window - frighten crap out of others

Next issue.

Miss firing whoes.

I had my plugs fouled at the drag day so I thought I would replace them.

I took the coil packs out and they looked like this

they needed some serious TLC

[Ants]

While I was at it thought it would be good to source a new coil pack harness as the other one looked rather brittle and stiff

also got some brand new NGK platinum spark plugs BCPR7ES and I gapped them to 0.7mm

I cleaned up them coil packs and also go hold of some dielectric compound and applied it to the coil packs where required and also around the spark plugs

Plugs, coil packs and new coil pack harness all reinstalled

Went for a drive and car felt more responsive but more importantly goodbye missfire, happy Frenchmen I was

[Ants]

last but not least.............I couldn't resist

ADVAN AD08R's yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssss!

[Ants]

Thats it for now folks.

Can't wait to go on track with them tyres

[Sinista32]

[Ants]

Pretty much defines my current situation man lol.

Hence, just put a load of spare parts and my old tyres for sale on gumtree

[Anfanee]
