I had felt the car was slightly sluggish ever since a bit before Japfest 2 but just assumed I had got used to the power. Additionally my idle was lumpy :(
It had turned out my primary O2 sensor was failing so the car in effect was running in limp mode!
This morning I was down at TGM to get my O2 sensor swapped out for one Tom had ordered.
After the 1 minute job of swapping in the new sensor I went for a test drive....
WOW. That familiar feeling of how my car used to run was immediately apparent. Pick up and throttle response was noticeably better and at idle the car was no longer lumpy - result!
Whilst I was there I had arranged to meet a friend who I had sold my unfittable (for my engine bay anyway :( ) Buddyclub P1 Racing strut too. He fitted it there and then as I wanted to see it fitted :)

Additionally, I had for once remembered to pick up the Mugen rear strut brace I had bought from Monz a while back. When I got back home I got cracking with the fitting
