Badass build man!
its weird to hope it is but isnt the ECU,
if it is, then you either pay alot to fix it or car becomes less fun as you go back to more stock... if it isnt the ECU then you dont pay alot or lose some fun but its back to square one on trying to figure out why its being a crazy b****
i can only imagine how you feel about it all

if FM says the ECU is fine, I'd look at everything that's connected to it
Well... found out what injectors I have.
They are the RC Racing low impedence 750cc guys. The Big Enchilada comes with the RCR 550cc's. Previous owner probably read too much s*** on the internet and believed that bigger is always better, when in fact, they are extremely oversized for my application. Now... here's the pisser. Anything I do is going to be expensive. Back to stock, I have to buy stuff that was damaged when the garage at the duplex flooded. Back to 550's... gotta buy them. Mod the car to utilize the 750's... gotta buy that stuff. So... that stuff is in the back of my mind right now. It's all going to come down to what FM says about the ECU.
Spent an hour on the phone with FM yesterday regarding the car. One thing we found is that the Hydra that I pulled and shipped to them does not match the Hydra that is supposed to be in my car. My VIN number shows that it should be a version 2.5. The ECU I sent is a 2.1, and registered to the guy that I directly bought the car from (who only owned it for 2 weeks). Needless to say, there's a lot of confusion going on. Jeremy is sending the ECU to Hydra for them to determine what firmware is actually on the box. I have a feeling this car won't be running again for a while.

Yeah.
Thankfully I have a reliable car that I can drive while dealing with this clusterfuck, so it doesn't bother me as badly as it could. I would have nothing against driving the Bavaria more often (not in winter) if it got a wee better mileage.

Well... closer to 2 years, but yeah... absolutely man. Its been bothering me like crazy. That's one thing I mentioned to Jeremy on the phone. It was fine before. A bit rich, but fine none the less. So... I'm starting to wonder about the fuel pump / fuel pressure, but it's still rich when it acts up.
