Sounds like they messed up the cam belt change then fixed it afterwards lol Disturbing cooked old wiring :)

I AM Peter Griffin!

Its when the lambo hits the power at the top of the rev range and the power in the z drops off thats the problem. I think machine raced one in his pentroof car and won?

I love how they are nicking fuel as its worth so much!

Z won then and your fine I take it?! Another example :) Best example I have is this, cant remember whos it was someone will Think it was a big concreate fence post at about 60mph, windscreen isnt even broken :)

is it not changing up into final drive? dono if torque converters slip

Oh that one, yeah i know, saw it lol I thought you had broken your red one!

accident?

Well thats what I guessed

well done mate, good to hear

arr should have gone up, looked ace

I drove in the wet on wednesday and got wheel spin in all gears but 5th lol

Awsome, are you going to watch? Might go up if im bored later!

They are rubbish anyway lol

araldite?

I have an infometer connected to the ecu at all times and the ecu temp sender normally reads 172 - 176 F up to 180 when booting it, can go up to about 185 just after I start it from hot (petrol stations etc) but then goes back to 170's about 2 seconds later as water is pumped through. I'd say its pretty good, its the stock gauges that suck 180 F is 82 C by the way

Might go to asda later Just fancy some cock tonight :rofl:

Yeah, you can see the lambo pull away as it hits the high revs in each gear, making its 522bhp, the Z keeps up nicly at the bottom end though :)

Must be a quick Z but Gallardos are not all that. I have driven a Gallardo on a track and in a straight line it didnt feel much quicker than my Z, infact my car has more torque (398lbft to the lambo's 376). Braking and coming out of corners though the technology kicks in and it would leave the Z well behind, in the lambo you can go full throttle out a corner in 2nd and the computer just sorts it all out for you, no skill needed at all. You can almost make out the speed reading on the data logger he has, looked like 296 kph to me.

we all complain that zeds are heavy but what would you rather crash at 100mph? A tanklike Z or a tin foil elise etc

Yeah thats pretty cool, different is always good I think it would look a bit better if it was wider tho

Will I still have B52 in big white letters on me back window from pod :)

Heart goes out to you mate - especially with having a young child myself.

sounds a bit like what happened to me when my piston rings failed oil in the intake, oil is getting past the piston and into the chamber
