When I was a mechanic I had a customer bring a car in, claiming it made noise when he parked it at work.

Bernie was successful, once upon a time.

I feel that by pushing further east to get more high value low interest races (Russia, Azerbajian, ect...) he's raising the value of CVC (In the short term) to prevent a single team buyout.

Bernie has GOT to go.

If he still has the factory bump stops in, likely he's good to go.

It would take a HELL of a lot more than that to break a coil.

Now that Mercedes has its own factory backed effort, McLaren lost it's place as the the Golden Child.

This times 1000x over 8 years of working as a Mechanic I developed contact allergies to most oils.

Wait?

Its not the pump exploding, they are designed to be lubricated by the fuel oil going through it. Gasoline and other fuels that act like a solvent with oil will remove that lubrication and eventually seize the pump.

If you run gas in a multifuel you need to dilute it with oil (preferably clean motor oil) to lubricate the mechanical fuel pump. Same goes for any other fuel that will act as an oil solvent.

I got to play around with a few of these, they also had a lower tow rating which turned away a lot of buyers. And from experience 4WS with a small trailer is an interesting experience.

I worked in the shop for 8 years I have a few.

It depended on the gear and RPM, first to second was a long stretch and shifting around 6k would knock it out of VTEC, the higher gears were closer and you could shift lower.

The real key is not being afraid to rev them, on my old Del Sol with a D15B motor in it you needed to string it out to nearly the cut-off (7,200rpm) to hit its peak power (7,000rpm) in some gears to keep it in V-TEC (and actually making power, off VTEC it made like 40hp or felt like it).

My old Del Sol liked to exhibit a lovely combination of lift-off oversteer and trail brake induced oversteer.

If this will fit in the back of my Jeep and one of my local Autp-X groups will let me run it for shiggles, count me in.

CEL codes don't always show the whole story, an CEL that gives code/descriptions is asking to cause arguments in the repair shop when explaining the difference between the actual codes and the symptom codes.
