Lude Generation

Agree pretty much unheard of, but it does happen - I had one go in my BB4 (no, I didn't believe it either, but it was doing continual rev up/fuel cut and none of the usual idle control issues were to blame). Swapped the ECU with a spare and solved it. Swapped it back to confirm and re-appeared. Bloo...

Nice!

Considering that's a circuit you know so well, I'm curious how it compares to the lude in terms of feel and laptime?
It's giving away about 80 bhp, some tyre width and overall track width (plus obviously goodness!) but presumably making up on weight.

This is an on a whim decision and things like clearing out the garage to make space and explaining the purchase to my partner will have to be sorted later haha

This is always the best basis on which to make a car purchase!

Nice find.
Weird that they exist at all (I wonder if that same part fits Rover models and that's why developed for UK market/just cross-referenced across to Honda for their sale catalogue?) and even more odd that one part fits 1-3g!

Yep, alternators must match exactly. Differences in the way the field is excited, charge state detected etc.

Regarding a tuner, your choice of engine management would probably dictate where you go, they will have varying levels of experience with different systems. My experience has been that mechanics 'mechanic' and tuners 'tune', so you might be best placed to find someone who knows Hondas to fit it and...

but there isn't really a test for it being blocked You can use an IR temp reader to check temp differential front-rear of the cat. If it's free-flowing, there shouldn't be much difference. If it's blocked, rear will be significantly cooler. If it's a pre and post O2 sensor car (ludes aren't so this...

Spoon copy chips and ATR cams are a decent little upgrade yes, regardless of whether it's an A or an A2. But don't expect them to be earth shattering, it's much more 'incremental'.
