When you do some diagnosis you sometimes need to think from the suspective part perspective, and though of how this part might be affecting the vehiche as a whole. You don’t know if for some reason the turnlights’ fuse controls some servos at the transmission You need to be mind of these things.
Yeah, I might need to check that… I’ve got a couple of numbers ranging from 10w30 to 20w50. Unfortunately I don’t have the owner’s manual. 🙁

I hope they do…
But, as far as I know they are serious people, and they only perform mileage changes when a shop replaces pretty much everything in the car.
Interesting stuff with the ECU programming though… It would be useful in this region of the world (in Honduras most people’s first car is used, and imported from the US, generally from crashes, or something like that) and for some weird reason they cut off the catalytic converter and weld a tube. That’s enough to set a code, so it would be at least useful to avoid having that light always on.About the shop faking tests, well, that’s awful. If I were in charge, I would close the damn place.

BTW, you could benefit from this guy on youtube…

http://www.youtube.com/user/EngineeringExplainedthis engine is a W16. I’m glad you notticed!
Interesting setup your car will have.. sounds fun!
I would like to see the car… 🙂this engine is a W16. I’m glad you notticed!

I would like to see the car… 🙂I also forgot to mention some features of the body. on the rear, just below the muffler will be a huge wing, it will help keep the car on the ground (it may have a similar force to those used in LeMans, being a bit higher) and the car will also feature four independant flaps, something similar to those on the Pagani Huayra.
The rear brakes, aah yes, you’re right. Happens that just today I was modeling the braking actuatorand cylinder (actuated by a pump rather than a vaccum hose)and I did include the ABS control unit. Trust me, I know for sure that rear brakes are smaller for that very reason, but I decided to make them bigger and the same size to spread the heat better, and to have some kind of cost-reduction. If you could see closely, you’ll nottice that both structures look identical. In fact they are almost identical. I’m planning to upload some pictures of it soon.I also forgot to mention some features of the body. on the rear, just below the muffler will be a huge wing, it will help keep the car on the ground (it may have a similar force to those used in LeMans, being a bit higher) and the car will also feature four independant flaps, something similar to those on the Pagani Huayra.
