Ha ha... First order of business. The ironic thing is, the day after Jezebel broke, my new plates arrived. They've been sitting on my desk for 4 months.

First thing to change in the morning.

Hey guys...

Its not all over yet it seems.

Today I ran some EML lights. Andy was with me and we went to go see Leonard at his shop in Boksburg (ironic thing is its right next to Gtech, the place my car sat at for the past 4 months).

Leonard ran some diagnostics and it seems that I am getting an O2 lambda sensor error as well as a Throttle Position Sensor error. Chances are they installed the sensors incorrectly, or in the 4 months that the car has sat at Gtech, something funny has gone wrong with one of the sensors.

Shit thing is. Gtech is now closed till January and I don't really want to drive the car till this is sorted out.

I've done some research and it seems I have to get a new sensor. I am just hoping they installed the sensor incorrectly.

Does anyone have a TPS for me to try out and see if it sorts out my problem.

It is the following sensor in the diagram below

I would swap the O2 sensors around 1st and see if the EML clears...

glad shes up and running man!!!! :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

 

[gavsadler]

I saw your car when I was at Leonard last Friday to collect my Ute, it came burbling past the back of she shop - looking and sounding good!

I hope you can sort out the last few niggles soon...

Now time for some upgrades! :fencelook:

 

[Crash_Nemesis]

So... Been driving Jezzi for a week. Man she is awesome. Even though I have to be tame with her, its just an awesome feeling sitting in an M3 again.

Also, I forgot how responsive the steering and suspension is, man, she just pulls into corners...

I got too used to driving the e60 5 series for the last 4 months, and now suddenly I am sitting in a car that is makes you feel everything on the road, and you know you are DRIVING this car, not the like the 5 series, which kinda drives itself. Nothing wrong with that at all. It was actually very comfortable.

So, I have a list of things I want to change/fix on Jezebel since I bought her.

Also, apart from a good wash.. ha ha. She needs it.

1. Front Bumper. This thing is faaaaked. MattQ's driveway was a steep monster and I can see why this bumper is so badly scratched at the bottom. Getting a CSL bumper from Burgy.

2. Changing the rear Boot to CSL Carbon Fibre Boot, but keeping the midnight Blue colour. Thank you Burgy for sorting me out with the CSL boot. You rock!!!

3. Changing the Active Autowek Gear Shifter back to the black leather ///M ZHP knob. As comfortable as the Silver AA gear shifter is, its ugly as hell.

4. Send Jezebl to LZ to remove some small dents in her and repaint rear bumper.

5. Add Carbon Fibre GTR Bonnet/Hood.

6. Once all of these are complete. I will be installing the supercharger. Its currently just sitting in a box in a my garage patiently waiting.

7. And then... when I have enough "Dorra" to blow... I am going to do Flossman GTR street widebody kit. Similar to M3M5power's kit. THe sexiest bodykit I have ever seen on an M and really what I want my car to look like.

So... Get ready for 2013.

 

[abmi0000]

Boring E60 huh? :floggin:

 

[Crash_Nemesis]

LOL. I actually realized after I posted that, you would come kick my ass...

Your E60 is another story Ambi, you know that. I was driving an Auto 525i...
