I know it's short notice but I'm going to be at this event tomorrow at about 10am. (I didn't link it as it's not an Atom event and it's happening tomorrow.)

Richard,
I'll PM as it's a SELOC event.
It's just that there area about 10 Atom owners on the SELCO forum so this is a quick way for a heads up. You should join

It'll be interesting to see what figures your car puts out John.
Don't forget to post the results on the 'New dyno topic, compilation of everyone's information' thread.
By the way, it's the same make of dyno that I was on a couple of months ago.

No it won't... It'll be frustrating and disappointing.
PLEASE don't forget that a rolling road should ONLY be used to see if there are flat spots etc on your graph, or if you're about to have work done and need a control measure.

It'll be interesting to those who are curious, which John obviously is otherwise he wouldn't be going to a rolling road, and it will be frustrating and disappointing to those who aren't curious and so don't go to a rolling road.
We are, after all, individuals with different views on things.

Re: Rolling Road 8th December 2007 _ SELOC events
I went despite the ran for my issues with the engine (Bruce).
Looks fantastic, but I'm having all sorts of problems with the car. It was very wet and the car would not idle at all and at low rev's in 2nd and 3rd the engine ceases up something awful. So bad you think it's going to explode. There is also a slight delay when putting your foot down before it actually does anything, but get it over 4,000rpm and it's fine. (It has been seen by the factory , but they cannot get the car to do this!). The only comment from the Rolling Road guys was it's running too lean.
New go faster dice. Snake eyes!

Well done for going for the right reasons!
Is the problem just in the wet?
Could be a sensor...

Nice dice, just like my set which just happened to show up hanging in my garage in the background of the photo I posted of my suggestion for the cover support system.

No, (to only in wet) also happens when the engine gets hot. Happened on the first night in Morocco, which scared the crap out of me as I thought I would have to get the car back on a trailer, but then nothing for the rest of the trip. So far they factory have changed the lambo' sensor and then some loose/exposed wire near the ECU. Would changing the board in the ECU help? If it is running too lean how do I get that checked and "increased"? The big problem is when the factory have the car it behaves for them!!

What's the weird second line on the first readout?

Post the problem up in Tech Discussion on seloc - lots of people run Hondas in their Elises, including a couple of seriously knowledgable guys from the race series - Randy and Scuffers (SimonS) the latter can be a bit abrasive sometimes but knows his stuff - he developed the Honda install for Loti. If a prick called Ronin posts just ignore him - also anything from MrDemon - talks through his arse at all times.
Cheers
