    Yes i agree, on reflection perhaps it is not rear diff or auto box related, it should still be pulling like a train..... perhaps it is in safe mode etc...

    I bet there's some thing missing ecu side and its defaulted to safe mode, could that be why the original car ended up in a pickapart.

    It just sounds very muted. Either there's a restriction physically, timing out, exhaust blocked (it is pretty quiet) or there is an electronic constraint of some sort.

    But it should be mental.

    Few things to try here.

    Did you try the other ECU (the one you didnt toast?) Might be worth doing the coil tests too.

    Also PLUG THE BLUETOOTH JOBBER IN and see if theres any codes.

    Come on, get out of bed, you could get an hour in the garage before work...

    Yawn.....
    Scratch scratch Erm...
    Rubs eyes..

    The exhaust isn't plugged. It's louder now that I took those tips off. I was thinking that I should connect that dingleberry thing again while driving it.
    There's a whole group of guys jackhammering floors in a school building today waiting for me to tell them how deep to dig...

    I'll be back in about 6-9 hours....

    The bluetooth dongle won't read fault codes it just logs live data. He needs to bridge te1/e1 for and have a check light for fault codes

    Your dash is 'kin awesome. It does sound like the auto box is getting in the way of the engine.

    Really good video :)

    Some of the comments on that site are awesome.

    Lots of people talk about doing stuff, we actually do it. I don't mind the negative ones because out of 51 comments- some people really get it. As far as the engine is concerned I have to see if there's any codes again. There weren't any before, maybe some popped up.

    They're linking to the retro rides thread and mentioning the you tube channel and talking about it on Twitter. I consider it a major win. I'll figure out the running aspect over the next few days, it's just so much fun, I could almost walk away from it and be satisfied.

    I won't though. It's still going to shred. If you guys think that there's more in there, I'll keep digging.
