Well that sucked. Not much more than 100 miles on the clock and I get a "catalytic converter overheating" message with normal driving. Now the car is in the shop and I'm stuck driving some suv. I was hoping the car would last more than 48 hours without glitching.

 

Guess pics will have to wait.

Wow, I didn't realize this was some kiddie porn site that I had to take a picture of myself naked with your name handwritten on my chest to prove I'm using real pics.

 

Anyway, in my apparently hypothetical world, I'm having hypothetical car problems. Any other owners having catalytic converter overheating problems?

 

 

Why wouldn't you write charzrd instead of your name?

Charizard is the most famous Pokemon of all !!!

That's what I got searching google, but couldn't put 2 and 2 together this being a car forum and all.

 

Seriously? Pokemon!

The car is the same color as Charizard, so that is the connection. Or maybe he just really likes Pokemon.

I think we can close the chapter on this one.

 

As Method Man once said, "...slap a murder rap on this production, I touch somethin' trust nothin'."

Keep the rev down below 6k for first 1500km or so. Try not to use corsa mode too. it is too harshy for new car. put clear bra on every part and swap it yearly and stop worring. also changing windshield is painful so i put clear bra on windshield as well to give some protection. after first oilchange do the exhaust mode First and I did. enjoy!

 

 

 

What is doing the exhaust mode mean?

Comemon guys. If you've own a few supercars, you surely would've done this before.

 

Most midengine supercars sound bloody loud. So in order to pass the noise regulations, car manufacturers added on actuactor valves thats controlled by vaccum line to close/partially close the exhaust to make it sound much quieter around town during low revs. If you floor it, valve will open up and sound the same. The thing is with the valve closed, the car sounds very anemic and the response is rather poor in low revs.

 

So what most owners did are just pulling the vacuum line (normally a pencil size black rubber tube) from the actuator. With this your actuactor is disconnected and no longer controlled by the vaccum so it permanently opens up. Your exhaust will sound as it was intended to be. With no valves restricting it.

 

Look for the actuactor. Normally it is fitted close to the end of the test pipes/exhaust outlet after the muffler barrel itself. You can't miss it.
