look very nice with the flush filler cap and like ronnie says abit to much playing in the snow lol

COCHYN · 16-01-2010, 03:18 PM

Nah, not snow related, missed out on that

drove home after work at night, up my usual steep, narrow road. Changed to 2nd gear on a ice covered drain, sidestepped into a very close ditch and pulled me into a wall. Everything salvagable, just needed a new front, rear bumper and a new beam. Like the engine, a respray is just something on the list that's getting done sooner than anticipated. Sort a few more bits in the exterior and its pretty much a new car

I want another RL7 as a spare

Glenn. · 16-01-2010, 03:36 PM

Sorry to here about the accident.I like the look of the smooth filler cap.

Twins · 16-01-2010, 04:54 PM

Blimey unlucky with the bump

COCHYN · 16-01-2010, 07:08 PM

Aye, but lucky in some ways....at least i still have a black focus to rebuild this time

 
@ Glen

Looking forward to central

blacky. · 16-01-2010, 09:36 PM

massivewangers · 17-01-2010, 04:55 PM

Looking forward to seeing this at a few shows, nice car.

I couldn't leave it standard looking though I must say, Some colour coded body plastics and a collection front bumper would just make it perfect IMO

COCHYN · 17-01-2010, 05:08 PM

Everything is actually being colour coded, but its staying stock looking. Think it'll annoy more people that way

blacknlow · 28-01-2010, 03:18 PM

i`m jealous...gimme your car!

COCHYN · 28-01-2010, 03:24 PM

She is painted, but having a little trouble with a missfire, will take more pics when that's sorted

Luca · 28-01-2010, 03:35 PM

We want pics of the car... not the spark!!!

CHOP CHOP

COCHYN · 28-01-2010, 03:50 PM

I'll be chopping the f*cker up in a minute if I don't sort it

She looks good, I need to put the front bumper on, but that's it. Will do when I source an ECU quickly!

not stock with filler neck removed

COCHYN · 28-01-2010, 09:15 PM

Stock-ish then

RONNIE AMIS · 28-01-2010, 09:46 PM

did they clean the car when they painted it mate?

have you checked all of the plug terminals in the engine bay for dampness?

COCHYN · 28-01-2010, 11:02 PM

Yeah mate, all as it should be. The fact the ECU was still connected kinda makes us think that's the problem, fried it. One way to be certain and that's to try another ECU.

WENNY · 29-01-2010, 06:38 PM

any pics yet boyo and have you fixed that missfire

nugnah · 29-01-2010, 07:04 PM

give us a chance Wenny, got to stick the ecu on the pit pony and send it up to Cochyn lol

jason

WENNY · 29-01-2010, 07:49 PM

well leave the sheep alone and get cracking lol

COCHYN · 29-01-2010, 09:21 PM

www, harsh Wenny

No pics yet, not cleaned it or fitted the bumper, not really bothered at this point. I need the ECU which Jason's kindly sending to me to make sure that the problem...if its not, I crushing the f*cking car

blacky. · 29-01-2010, 09:42 PM

stop whineing you bought something with a yb in it you have to get used to these little hickups
i hope your not just over reactin to a lack of use low battery miss fire

COCHYN · 29-01-2010, 09:45 PM

Now I'd really happily look like a tit if that was the case, coz anythings better than this. But it really is an annoying problem

jimmymc · 05-02-2010, 09:48 PM

u looking to sell it then?

COCHYN · 05-02-2010, 10:38 PM

You gotta be kidding

Update from problem, thought 3rd injector didn't read very well on multimeter. ECU shagged, sourced another for a £100. One I borrowed from a lad on here worked perfectly. Injector board probably blown on mine. But all working now, so pics coming....she looks mint!

J1mbo · 05-02-2010, 10:42 PM

sorry i didnt text back fella totally forgot till i just see this !

cracking news the new ecu has sorted it out

now get some bloody pics up

blacky. · 05-02-2010, 11:24 PM

Glad you got it sorted bud,
prob won't cost much to repair your ecu copy the chip and keep as a spare.

Luca · 06-02-2010, 09:29 AM

PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COCHYN · 06-02-2010, 10:53 AM

Blacky, I will crack you knees with a mallet one of these days!

But in Liverpool at the mo seeing the missus, so car tucked up at home safely until I can get back, clean it and take pics

Luckily sourced an L8 with a Stage 3 chip for a £100, doubt that sort of luck will ever come round again

Thanks to Wenny, Nugnah and others whol helped me out. Any parts I've borrowed to narrow down the list of problems will be sent back to you asap! Thanks boyos! xxx

Glenn. · 06-02-2010, 05:04 PM

Nice one mate at least you found the fault fella.I bet you feel better knowing what it is.

COCHYN · 06-02-2010, 05:06 PM
