Been tinting a few bits. Really impressed with this stuff. Shame I messed up the NS rear light. It doesn't come off with white spirit annoyingly

Paul_13

I completely overlooked the indicator colour. It flashes red instead of orange. Apparently changing/painting the bulbs green fixes the issue!

I ended up stripping the bodged tint off this evening. Comparison photo for you

Paul_13

And yes the green bulb fixed the issue

Looks better without the tint on a white car! They come up like new too!

keep getting a code pop up on the abs module. B1318 - battery voltage is too low.
It gets its feed straight from the fuse and ignition switch.

Any ideas? Is it a known fault?

Paul_13

That might explain a few issues!

Jamie R

What’s wrong with the maf?

O ring split. Might explain a few issues I was having

Jamie R

Ahh I see it now I zoomed in.

No, it’s not ideal

Got the Ramair filter through. Hopefully might make the car a bit quieter compared to k&n

I've reinstated the throttle bypass for fault finding. Hopefully I don't have the momentary power loss anymore, maybe the throttle body is at fault.
Running out of things to do on the car to keep me busy. I've ordered a mx5 ARB to swap out for the rx8 item which will hopefully cure understeer.
Then just sit at home drinking lots of rum bored out of my head! Going crazy at the moment
