We have aan old Xreg Renault Espace which lives in the road outside and is useful for running the grandkids about, but has hardly turned a wheel for the last year. Charged up the battery last week and checked all was well for the MOT today. It started on the button but sounded rather sporty. Turns out there are some helpful roadside mechanics who come round and add lightness to cars by removing a section of the exhaust for you that used to house the catalytic converter. Not impressed  Ls swap. You may as well Always been one of my dreams to stick a big engine in a first gen Espace. So wrong it's right. |

Rerouted my MAP sensor input from front of inlet manifold to FPR.

Rerouted my MAP sensor input from front of inlet manifold to FPR. Why ? Curious. |

Because it allegedly gives a smoother output to the MAP sensor than using one of the spare vac sources at the front of the inlet manifold.
Perceived wisdom on Megasquirt forums says so.
Also considering the vacuum feed on my mini bypass valve, that is supposed to benefit from an input closer to the inlet manifold (according to mini tuners)
The devil makes work for idle hands etc...

Well, after a thrash around today the MAP vacuum hose is going back to its original position, much hesitation going back onto throttle. |

Picked the car up from the garage, the new slave cylinder I provided sorted the clutch pedal issue it seems so fingers crossed, all good!

Those wings look like a snug fit! Yup, they very lightly touch the door cards but they are not "squeezed" or pushed at all. Snug is the right word |
