The fact that TunerStudio insists on displaying volts instead of AFR when using the AEM UEGO O2 sensor was  really annoying me, especially as I was having no luck getting the thing tuned after replacing the head gasket.  After a lot of internet searching I found the solution, and it now reads in lovely AFR... and oh dear, it showed the previous AFR target values were dangerously lean.  It's now FIXED, and I'm tuning it in on the drive to work.  This is how: Find the mainController.ini file (there are likely to be many, the one you need will be in \Documents & Settings\ your name \My Documents\TunerStudioProjects\ project name Open it with Notepad , and replace the line: #elif AEM_LINEAR   afrBins1 = array,    U08,    0,    [8x8],    "Volts",    0.0196,    0,    0.0,    5.0,    2 with: #elif AEM_LINEAR   afrBins1 = array,    U08, ...

There will be NO de-turboization of the MX5, what I wrote the other day is WRONG and BLASPHEMOUS. Just because it's popped it's head gasket again (during a tuning run when I was aiming for more than 200 BHP), that's no reason to turn away from the TRUE PATH.  I will turn it down to about 8psi though.  It expired in an impressive plume of steam incidentally, it would have done a F1 car proud. Fixed the dump valve this evening (it had become reluctant to open after being ejected from the vehicle a couple of weeks back).  The vacuum dome bit was dented and stopping the piston moving fully, so I ground it out with my Dremel and filled the hole with JB Weld.

It's Spring!  Theme was tax-free motoring, so it was lots of pre-73 stuff with some occasional modern eco-tat.  I only took photos of lovely stuff, as you can see... Lovely stuff, plus a Marina.  It was sunny yet cold, and for the first time the whole tribe went. In other news: I've decided to de-turbo the MX5.  I'm going to flog the bits and buy another interesting car, undecided which yet but probably quite a lot more expensive than my usual tat.

I am ready to see Eddie Jordan's mush in horrible, horrible detail:
