Sy is also spot on in his embellishment - he does have fingers like pig's tits! :lol:

Some useful info on the ECU is here. The fingers holding the MEMCAL are obviously not Sy's.

don`t think it will be a BBR as it sounds like Ben is hitting the fuel cut :?

If it has the wilwood kit, who was the previos owner? got to be someone of here and would bet it`s chipped and aftermarket exhaust.

Cheers, chaps, all good stuff I'll do some reading. Had a proper waggle of the actuator rod so we'll see if that helps. Haven't driven it since. Porting looks doable given my skills and tools so will plan to do that to at some point.

Exhaust is definitely aftermarket but I haven't been right under to check the bore. Symptoms when its done it defintiely sounds like the fuel cutout, had a quick read of the manual.

Took it to a Norlog meet today with the wife behind in the Elise (yes Monty I actually had a good nose at your car at Phoenix on their open day)

Swapped cars on the return and the Elise threw a minor wobbly. It had a sticking stat a couple of months back and it seemed to do it again then came back to life. Hmmm.

Then I got home and gave the Elan a really good wash to prep for polishing and had a proper poke about looking for jobs to add to my list pf things to tidy up. Then locked the keys in the boot. Arrrrggggh. AA out and we quickly got it open but then it took an eternity to put the barrel back in. We ended up taking the boot lid off to do it as gravity was against us.
