M40 M.O.T issues
My 1.8 M40 keeps failing the MOT on the emmisions. her co2's are a tiny bit high. is there any switch/screw that can ajust the air/fuel mix? or will i have to look at the lambda sensor? if so, are these expensive to replace? its a '93 with a cat. cheers.

I work for Honda and drive the type-r's most days. They are an awesome car, unfortunatley getting a lil common now but they can pack a serious punch. only trouble is getting the the power down, pulling off in 2nd is handy stops you lighting the front wheels. Yes, its no 6 and sounds nothing like it ...

E46 Steering wheel into an E30??????
I've been told you can fit a Multifunction steering wheel to an E30, is this so?? Obviously the multifunctions wont work, but isnt the yokes/splines all different? I can easily get a E46 wheel and it would feel much nicer than my m-tec 3-spoker/come bus wheel!! any help much appreciated!
