Has the misfire been cured?

Yes she's running like a Swiss watch, (LOL, I've said that before). Took a huge amount of effort with the help of some top BMW techs to diagnose a slightly intermittent pressure sensor on the return rail. No fault codes and very had to replicate, took a lot of effort for a $180 part. We've fitted a set of Powerflex 1M racing rear sub-frame bushes and are looking forward to a car that steers with the front wheels only! Gone back to our old suspension setup of 2 deg front & rear camber, 2mm toe out on the front , 2mm toe in on the rear and as much castor as we can get. I've given everything else a good birthday and have even managed to find and replace the oil level sender. As much as I love the technology in modern cars, building a motor with no dipstick has me shaking my head in disbelief! The cars are running two stages 4 times each for the day, should be great viewing. Check out http://targa.co.nz/targa-sprint-2015 (click on maps and road closure info) for full details.

Re the lack of a dipstick (wee bit O/T I know) Volvo truck manuals specify that it's preferable to check the oil level with the computer rather than the dipstick as apparently pulling out the dipstick can lead to oil contamination. Not entirely convinced myself, but there ya go.
