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

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

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

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!

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.

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!

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
