I like that Caterham is getting the exposure. Feels weird that they focused on Miami, and that the writer was kind of surface level - I believe the writer lives on the NJ/NY border and has a lotus cortina - I think I just expected more excitement / enthusiasm from someone who has a niche taste like ours.

Are you going to toss the rover k series and the emerald when you do the switch? let me know, i'd be interested..

Neither - cheap gigantic Amazon umbrella

Sounds like they're going for more of the larger sports car crowd for track days too? Formal Petition to go to lightning next year so I can spin out on the 3rd corner which is a blind right apex and give everyone a heart attack?

Yep, you will definitely need to know some of the limitations of the engine, and to know the timing, but i've found AI great, even for checking for spots in the map that could be an issue. It calculated injector scaling etc. AI isn't an end-all, its only as good as the prompts which it is given.

I've used it pretty extensively at work. Built an app which references a bunch of policy information etc. Think, I used a pre made a sandbox, defined the sand to play with in the sandbox. I've used it to summarize 30 pages of notes from when I started a job to build out a handbook for the role. Copilot can build heatmaps, adjust powerpoints etc. I also used copilot to update and review my map for the coil on the emerald. it was able to figure out what the base values should be, and then compensate for voltage drop.

Happy to help another K series owner. I've learned a lot so more than happy to help share some knowledge in the US.

I've got a base map for an emerald vvc, i'll message it to you. Revilla on the blatchat forums should be able to answer your mems question. he reverse engineered the mems system. andrewrevill.co.uk/EU2EngineLoom.htm

I think i'm going to have to loop @JohnCh to help out here, you clearly have an agenda. S3 vs SV @Vovchandr!?

In chatting with a friend, i came to the conclusion that the Caterham 7 is truly a car for shorter people. My tall friends can't drive them. All my short friends can fit in them perfectly. Does this mean that if you drive an S3, you are short, and if you drive an SV, you are a normal human? @Croc, I need your advice here.

RHD S3 420 cup is the GOAT car. You have good taste sir.

RHD is how these vehicles were meant to be driven. My ears appreciate being away from the exhaust. You get used to shifting RHD very quickly.

Awesome, when you want to leave the shore and come up into Morris county for some good roads, holler

S3 w/ 13's is the move. DO IT!

I've been a bit absent as I have been falling into the ecu tuning rabbit hole. I had a tip off on this issue from greg, up at time machines. He had seen my misfire video and indicated it may be coil related. I replaced the coil, so I know the coil was new (within the past year). So i went into my ecu map. there was a flat value of 3.03mS for each portion of the range. With some research (and help of AI), I was able to come up with the below linear table for an emerald ECU. I still need to test this data, but I was unable to find anything like this online. I am sharing this here so that in the future, if someone has an issue with their car, it may help them more quickly diagnose their issue. I am looking forward to this salt going away, so I can go test this change. For reference, Rover K series, 1.4 throttle body (aluminum), 52mm TB, emerald K6 ECU. Piper cams (286 iirc), Piper verniers. DVA Ported and polished big valve mod, titanium omega pistons and mahle crank bearings. Dark blue bosch Injectors. Given my carbon build up issues, this may be one step closer to optimal fueling / making sure i'm burning all the fuel the car is putting in. if anyone wants the excel, just holler.
