 Went to the GD open day ,first time in the car and it was a great turnout and good to see fellow owners .

soo many cars but good to see 

While i was there met up with David from Canems who has now put a secondary map on my ECU . This will be used when the wife is driving or we are pottering somewhere as it limits the horse power to 40% 

430HP  @40%  is about 170 HP , 

Tried it on the way home and i still get the great sound but it performs like a normal car that is until  flick the switch and take my foot off the accelerator and then its back to the animal !

Half Cover Mark 1

 Decided as I (we) are going out more in the car there is going to come a time when I  need to keep it dry while away from it . Following other peoples advice I came up with the half cover idea. 

I wanted something light and easy to fit so that if there was a shower I'm not sat in a wet chair and also keeps eyes and fingers away without having to put the proper roof up .

I purchased  this cover from Amazon which is the smallest they do but still needs some modding .

 bit on the large side but works 

First trip out with the Northern Cobra Club

 I got invited out with  the Northern Cobra clubs event at Bridgton, meeting up first at the Seaways Cafe in Driffield  great to meet fellow owners and share stories 

I was first there  and parked the wrong way classic 

 Then on to Bridligton in convoy what sight 

Finally arrived and on display for all to see what a great day with great people

 After putting the car back together and testing all the parts i had one slight issue when the footwell lights were powered up and the doors shut the alarm LED started flashing ,not a big problem but none the less not right .Once the doors were opened and the lights came on the LED stopped flashing.

The only common link to the 2 circuits  was they both use the door switch ,to this end i figured that the alarm sounder was allowing enough current to pass in the wrong direction to power the LED 

I solved this by placing a diode ( 1N407 )  in the alarm wire and now all working as it should
