Anyone

RS, I have used sparkplugs.co.uk for these very plugs a couple of years ago. IIRC I ordered two sets for my previous car and they arrived as ordered very promptly at a very good price. No recent experience of them. CSR Superlight 260 in Mclaren Orange Member No.109xx Pictures here

Can I just check if anyone knows if this model of nut YD-ANO34ALBK150 from the range of Ultralite nuts here is suitable for my 15inch black 10 spoke CC wheels on a CSR I assume the CSR uses the same configuration as a DD axle car. I currently have the CC stainless nuts with the tapered end (again, I assume this is also standard 60deg ). If anyone knows for certain that would be v. helpful.

Quick update... Caterham Midlands were very kindly able to check the map version in flash memory and update it to the latest while I waited (thanks again Bret ). Apparently I was running several versions out of date ❗ so its now upgraded to version F (or was it E ) I'm going to try this and see how it affects slow speed / around town driving before doing anything further. I'll report back at the weekend after the L2B run. If I do go down an unlocked ECU route then I think it will be via the MBE simply because it appears as flexible / accessible (for my needs anyway) as the Emerald and its simply a swap over using the existing connector.

Thanks again for these comments Darren, Thanks for the Cosworth contact and I will give Andy a call. If that fails and I cannot get anywhere to unlock the ECU I might just do the same thing as you and get a 992. You mention in your last post about the need for calibration maps - what are they and where did you get yours? (I note you have a CSR200). Regards, Paul CSR Superlight 260 in Mclaren Orange Member No.109xx Pictures here

Guy's, thanks for your comments. I know the ECU is not at fault and its just the map. I think I have the latest version and don't have a big issue with 'kanagrooing' compared to what I have read elsewhere but I would like to be able to get a map specific to my engine (i.e. after a rolling road session). The MBE unit is a locked by Cosworth unit and I would like flexibility that something like an Emerald would provide.I had an Emerald on my last car (K Series) and it was really easy to tweak. Darren, does your method give you complete control over the mapping (using the Easimap software I assume) comparable to an Emerald do you know? If anyone has gone Emerald I would like to know how difficult it is to swap. Paul

I'm thinking of swapping the locked MBE ECU in my CSR 260 for an Emerald so that I can adjust the mapping as and when I want to. Has anyone gone down this route yet 🤔 If so, what is involved regarding fitting to the loom and is there anything I would need to consider regarding sensors 🤔 Paul CSR Superlight 260 in Mclaren Orange Member No.109xx Pictures here
