Yes most AI is not AI anyway :D

From https://www.etuners.gr/fuel/ I understand the 95 RON is equivalent to the "91 PUMP" found in North America indeed (average between the RON and MON ratings) Now this paper applies to the injection charge-cooled engine, maybe it's not the same recommended octane rating for your S2?

Even the updated one I posted moments ago? This one is working from France right now. (I can upload the PDF too of course) Here it is! @Bibs>Not sure if it's OK to upload it here on TLF? 900269.pdf

Here is an updated link for the Sci Hub mirror: https://sci-hub.se/https://doi.org/10.4271/900269 (the old one might still work depending on from where you are trying to open it though)

Is it really that bad?! Oo I have never had to deal with that sort of issue since I only have 90s Lotus, but that is sad to read 😕

Not a success, well it depends how you see it. The prices are not bad at all, it's a different thing that the reserves were set too high. The prices for the UK market with RHD cars seem quite comfortable to me? (maybe not for the Essex, I don't know what used to be its price)

I would say it looks the same as the very first they showed so it's probably this one?

(I think he said he wanted to keep one original and modify the other one, but I guess he will answer himself better :D)

Not really: they will have to detune it to keep selling the Evija

PS: if you intend to bin them I might be interested to have them to have a look before I do anything to mines (I don't really want to remove them from the car before I have the seals & new basket filters)

It sounds smooth indeed, the engine doesn't move much Could you have a look at the original injectors filters please? I would like to know their dimensions so that would be nice if you could pull them out of the injectors (but I think the basket filters will be good for nothing after that so if you want to keep them that's not a good idea!)

A bit of the Elan, a couple of days ago just before the sunset (so not much light and ... with my phone so a bit noisy, but I like it anyway)

Hello and welcome to you @Rafthetaurus!

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ For some reason it's detected as a malware on my computer though? Am I the only one? Of course it may be a false positive though

This looks like a very good job @Todd_W, congratulations! You must have spent quite a few hours on this! Thanks for your hard (long) work!

Wow!

That's a lot of money for a car than cannot swim! It's quite sad and hard to understand why they didn't bother to reply ...
