I went despite the ran for my issues with the engine (Bruce).
Looks fantastic, but I'm having all sorts of problems with the car. It was very wet and the car would not idle at all and at low rev's in 2nd and 3rd the engine ceases up something awful. So bad you think it's going to expolde. There is also a slight delay when putting your foot down before it actually does anything, but get it over 4,000rpm and it's fine. (It has been seen by the factory , but they cannot get the car to do this!). The only comment from the Rolling Road guys was it's running too lean.

Well done for going for the right reasons!
Is the problem just in the wet?
Could be a sensor...

No, (to only in wet) also happens when the engine gets hot. Happened on the first night in Morocco, which scared the crap out of me as I thought I would have to get the car back on a trailer, but then nothing for the rest of the trip. So far they factory have changed the lambo' sensor and then some loose/exposed wire near the ECU. Would changing the board in the ECU help? If it is running too lean how do I get that checked and "increased"? The big problem is when the factory have the car it behaves for them!!

Post the problem up in Tech Discussion on seloc - lots of people run Hondas in their Elises, including a couple of seriously knowledgable guys from the race series - Randy and Scuffers (SimonS) the latter can be a bit abrasive sometimes but knows his stuff - he developed the Honda install for Loti. If a prick called Ronin posts just ignore him - also anything from MrDemon - talks through his arse at all times.
Cheers
