Hey everybody! Name's Jason and I am a proud new owner of a 2002 WRB Bugeye from the Bay Area in California.
Inherited the car from my brother because it couldn't pass smog, and on the condition I got it to pass it was mine. He had installed a lightweight flywheel and after a while a CEL showed up (misfire code). According to his research and troubleshooting he determined the flywheel was the cause. Replaced the flywheel with a stock one and the problem was solved. That was about 6 months ago and the car has been running great since (and man am I loving it!). Recently, however, the CEL returned. Misfire on cylinder 1. Can't be the flywheel anymore... Still in the process of working out what the problem is.
