Hahahaha incredible. Replacement wideband came in this afternoon. Going to go out and fiddle with the self mapping feature on the emerald.

You have triumph spitfire front brakes. I run EBC green stuff. Stops the car very well.

same. the slowest of dudes over here.

Important addition.

I like the emerald. It's simple for my brain.

I'm thrashing on my fuel pump right now but I will probably join you with a 6 pack and a lawn chair.

Graham youre a legend my dude. Can't wait to see this.

Discount MG rover spares is very cheap shipping. I buy in bulk. If you need one ASAP you can raid my personal stash..

My guess is we will see a taper / stability in late June/July. Reciprocal tariffs will bring the original tariffs amount down a bit, but still more than we were paying before.

Noted. Will delete. Apologies.

Slow dude, not slow car repair. New injector on order to replace the lean plug. If anyone wants to come huff gas fumes in my garage for a week, you're welcome.

She runs! (On 3 cyl). Pulled plug. It's lean. Rest are fine. Pulled injector loom and checked continuity. 0.13-0.16 ohms, so they're good. Ordered a pin tool to test car loom. Pulled injector, will try and clean it.

Sigma!

Pickles, we have a new england group chat. Pm me if you need an extra set of hands getting the motor in.

Slowly getting there. Replaced wires and connectors on the starter. Got new battery in, and had to extend some wiring to fit the new battery. Car primes and cranks. Next step is to check ecu for spark. Slowly getting there.

Update again, after much searching and discussion with UK group chat. One of the members pointed out my misfiring, loss of power etc could be driven by the master cutoff switch. For giggles, I bought a new one. See the below video, but the relays in the original switch are lose and wiggling. I have the vehicle on a tender and will hopefully get a start sometime this week. If this is the cause of the issue I have been chasing for over a year, I will come back and update this post with key search terms for someone else who may be struggling with this.

Welcome. I'm in K series hell right now (lovingly). If you have k series questions, feel free to PM me. They're great motors.

Hmmm. I had magnecor make custom EU2 leads. Are you working with Heather? They were able to find a boot which worked based on measurements i sent them.

I use noco or odyssey. The NOCO switches between lead acid, agm, and li-ion. I found the li-ion not great, so i used odyssey. It is a much smarter charger for li-ion. I have an extra noco genius one (I switched from a one battery charger to a two car setup to run a motorcycle as well). Make me an offer and I'll ship it out next weekend.

DVA K series are worth it. Get this car on an emerald and one of Dave's maps will open it up a bit more.

Love mine. Full hood i drove through last winter until it showed in February. Having roof and heater makes the business case for the car greater. @CBuff and @Vovchandr are doing it right. We need to convince the other Northeasterners of the way.

Long overdue update on this. Relay junctions weren't delivering power to accessories correctly and draining the battery. Pulled everything out and re wired a simple bus bar, with a simple power switch on/off for the power to this. Wideband is connected, and ECU configured to read it properly. Went to start the car and the battery is flat; starter wires are very brittle. Going to get a new battery (Banner Starting bull is 5 years old), and throw new power cables to starter. Hopefully this will fix it. I noticed the alternator ground bolt was loose. I am wondering if this may be the cause of the voltage issues with the misfire on the sensors. I've ordered a backup EU2 engine loom in preparation for the above fixes not fixing everything. The car is 28 years old and has had 10 prior owners. Just trying to bring it back bit by bit.

I have cad files for these mounts. If you have a 3d printer near you, you can get them for cheap. Most 3D print shops will run you 60$ or so plus shipping. May be better to check kit car direct.

It was confirmed that vehicles older than 25 years will not be subject to the tariffs. Classic Cars Won't Be Affected by Trump's 25-Percent Automotive Tariff
