So my son Ryan and I had a full Day at snetterton yesterday and I’m glad to report we made it home in one piece!!
Managed to get there early and use a spare garage, the weather started off very good but became cloudy as the day went on And Then we had some rain at about 12.30 just before lunch.
The car ran perfectly until 12.30, it then decided to go into limp mode whilst Ryan was on track so we hobbled back to the pits to see what the problem was, plugged the obd reader in and it showed two codes a p2135 fault and a p2106 so we deduced that it was probably something to do with the throttle body or maf sensor. We cleared the codes and took the car out again only to get the same problem which subsequently would not clear with the code reader.
we decided to remove the intake pipe so we could Inspect the throttle body and plugs were clean and to our surprise we found a lot of dirt around the throttle itself, we borrowed some cleaning fluid and flushed the area and carefully wiped it clean, put the bits back on and thankfully the codes cleared and we ran the remainder of the day with no problems.
The car handled Amazingly well in all the corners as I thought it would with very good steering and feel, we managed to get better at finding the limit as the day progressed there was only one close call which was when the back end lost traction and seemed to regain itself with out any panic. The track day was full of high end serious cars and although the car was great it really lacked in power on the track Straights which to be honest we We’re half expecting But it did not even meet those. the cameras did not get any great footage so probably not going to put any up!!
All in all we had a fantastic day we also came to the conclusion that the evora n/a is Far more suited to the road than track, probably as we have had other modified track cars over the years.
