now the car is all mapped and running right(!),of course decided to take a couple of people out in it for a quick run up the road at the rsoc meet last night.
first run great-flying
second run-flying until suddenly there was a huge bang from out of the exhaust and the biggest flame i have ever seen and the car cuts out immediately.rolls to a stop,has a quick look under bonnet-everything intact.tries to start the car,sounds like its got compression so cant be too bad,but will not fire up.

towed the car back to the garage after we (well diva) found the fault

any guesses?

well i hope its this anyway,dont know till i get onto it later.

fuel cut off in boot if you had people in the car.

I had a similar thing a month or so ago - giving it large out of a pub car park at nearly 75degrees to the road sideways and the car cuts out limped it a nearby layby and waited till my mate could come over and diagnose the problem - which was a wire had come off the grp a ign coil

Tommi is awesome mate, ok it hasn`t got the straight line speed the 3dr had, but it is 60 bhp shy of that, but the handling is beyond belief mate.

Personally i`d never have another cossie now, and before anyone starts, no i`m not slatting them i enjoyed the 3dr immensely, but the evo is in a different class..................
