Love this idea! It's something I'd expect from the EP3 CTR owners club rather than us. Also you may well find that the organisers will not take very kindly to that kind of 'display', I'd certainly be checking with them first. /spoilsport, but thinking of the greater good

You might be surprised, something like the Recaro Pole Positions are extremely generous yet amazingly supportive, or there are numerous buckets that come in XL editions now too which could also work for you.

So you want recliners rather than proper buckets? Probably not so much of an issue for fitting you personally then, but definitely as important comfort wise Personally I'd stay away from anything that yellow though, it's a bright colour so less is more. Speak to Mondo on here from Hide n Seat, he'll be able to retrim to your own preference.

Only if there's a problem. If there's no problem, you'll clear the error code from the memory.

Pull the battery for an hour, bet that kills the lights.

Always been fine for me in the past. Cancel the order and go elsewhere?

Untick the bottom checklist. Basically, you should only have 'Forums' and 'Content I have not read' ticked

How does that relate to the car running rich and stalling, on a system with no BOV?

Go to the full version, click 'content I have not read'.

Noooooooo

Boosted, no BOV. Richf said his car stalls due to running rich when run with no BOV on a draw through system. I are teh confuzed.

Meh. Bored of this story now, it makes zero difference to anyone.

Exactly! So how does the engine run rich? It's not seeing any more or less air than it's supposed to. I don't get this at all.

I get that, but I'm referring to a system with no BOV at all. I guess I'm struggling to see how the car runs rich when no air is being removed. Should probably have corrected my post to show I was replying to Richf rather than yourself though, you nipped in before I posted

The O2 sensor doesn't work on an on/off failure system, it needs a number of cycles to determine whether it's functioning or not. You may find it stays off, but that'll be a fluke more than anything. Bet it comes back on though, and then you'll need a new sensor.

So are we saying this happens? On a pre-turbo (or draw through) system: 1. On full boost at WOT, MAF reads X amount of air. Engine adds X amount of fuel. 2. You come off the gas completely. TB shuts closed. 3. Compressed air has nowhere to go, so pushes back into the turbo. 4. Air goes through the turbo back past the MAF into atmos pressure, causing the MAF to read air again. 5. As the MAF is reading air movement, the engine adds X amount of fuel despite no extra air going past the TB. That's the only way I can see a non-BOV system adding fuel after you close the TB. On a system with a VTA BOV that sits after the MAF, then yes that would cause the engine to run rich as you've dumped metered air (as has already been said).

Also, what font is the club logo written in? Would like to keep it consistent.

Would that not depend on where the MAF is located? I.e. pre or post turbo?

Where did you get it from? I've been searching for the proper stuff for ages! It may sound like marketing guff, but when you see the black crap that comes out of the exhaust during use you'll be amazed at how good it is. I once blacked out most of street when I did it with the MX5 It won't do anything for a dodgy O2 sensor though, when it cycles through that light'll come back on if the sensor has gone.

Any chance of getting a copy of the club logo please?

The fluttering sound you hear is the impeller stalling. Back in the old days of ceramic blades it did used to be a huge issue, but with metal ones I personally don't see it being a problem at all, I agree.

Sorry, I was referring to the stalling.

How so? Not doubting you at all, genuinely curious as I've never encountered that

No, not all seats will fit. The very vast majority will though, so I wouldn't worry about that. However, I would be far more concerned about comfort than anything else: Not all seats are equally comfortable, and price has very little to do with this. The good thing is you're already considering this In terms of places to go, I'm afraid you're going to have to travel. The two best places are Demon Tweeks in Wrexham or GSM Performance in Nottingham. Both are great, DT has a slightly bigger selection but they're all fixed down, GSM not quite as many but have some rarer models on display and you can move them around in-store so you can compare side by side. Either one will be fine, you'll definitely find something there for you. It might be a bit of a trek, but considering that you spend 100% of your time whilst driving sitting down you soon realise that a six hour drive is nothing in the grand scheme of things

Only with ceramic turbine blades. Metal blades running sensible amounts of boost will be fine. I didn't run a BOV on the MR2 (by Toyota's own design) and it ran so much better than on my older car where I had one. Different noise on lift off, more like a demented squirrel than the usual noise, but still cool. No harm in removing your BOV and trying it, you may see throttle response differences though: Could be better or worse, in theory it should be worse but I've driven cars that were improved by removing the dump valve.
