A few upgrades :

Fog + plate lighting (still missing the reverse light, and a 3rd brake light) :





It's a Led rain light, that i use as fog light, with a small led plate lighting hidden under.

Also, i needed an iPhone support to have Nav and speed controls alerts, so i draw one with Autodesk Fusion, 3D printed 4 or 5 times to have the perfect fitment, and :







Just slide it in, and it does not move : perfect

Nice work Thomas! Really nice to see guys designing there own bits for these cars.

I had troubles since a month with the engine misfiring at high load/rpm, and going fine after,

so i began by changing the spark plugs : same problem
then, i realised a was low on fuel, so i topped, and same problem,

then, i changed the fuel filter : same problem

And a week after, the problem was more present, it was sometimes putting the car in error mode, no power, no revs : i had to switch off/switch on and if was running fine, for a few minutes, ...

So i decided to change the 4 coils (i have a spare K20a2 engine, so easy to swap parts/sensors) : same problem

I swapped the Map sensor : same problem

I swapped the throttle position sensor : same problem



So i decided to install the OBD kit i bought a month ago (i should have begin with this...), it was very easy (a 30min job).

And the OBD told me that the crank position sensor was faulty, so i swapped it :

The engine is now running perfectly 

The lesson here is to install the OBD kit before trying to change all engine sensors

One month after, it's not so simple

It seems that my loom is faulty, not the sensor.
I guess the sensor swapping resolved the issue for a moment since we touched the loom.

I will try to fix the loom or swap it (i have a spare K20A2 full wiring loom, and it seems that Ariel did not modify that loom, so i should try to swap it).
