When mine was playing up I played about with all the relays and plugs to see if it was a bad connection, didnt make any difference at all. Lights flickereing was completely random, It'd be fine for a while then start playing up again. I even removed the UCH, stripped it and checked for water...

It is indeed knackered UCH, Had it myself with headlights flicking on and off.

50/50 chance of me making this, possibly working. Hope I can make it tho.

Would love one of these, Good friend of mine is an ex Alfa tech tho so ive heard too many horror stories. Pretty sure its these that wear out the rear beam?

Out of all the tyres Ive tried F1's were my favourite. T1R are ok, as said for what they cost cant complain.

Tin foil round said black box, job done ;)

Also dont forget a 150A fuse doesnt blow as soon as it see's 151A. Probably be a few seconds at 170A+ before it pops. So probably no need to worry, If it hasnt blown it yet then its probably fine.

No problem :) Unfortunately have no idea how much more amps high comp would draw.

Ok so cold night, not been started for a few weeks. Coil pack disconnected and cranked for 5 seconds, highest registered ampage 146A

Il check this for you in a moment, going out to jump start one might aswell bang the amp clamp on it while im there.

Welcome, I am local also.

Il come along, dont go to many meets but need to show off my new Ph1 172. Any nights good for me.

Frayz Impreza for me

As Mick said, deffo sounds load related. I had a very similar fault years ago, wouldnt rev up and shift light was coming. Turned out to be a bad engine earth, took ages to find.

Does it misfire when it reaches 5500rpm? Possible dodgy coil pack / Leads? Check engine earths are good also!

224 hours on Fallout New Vegas

Hats off to you. Looks mint.

Looks very good quality for powdercoat.. and how cheap! Might have a trip down to them myself!

Check the tamper proof ECU cover at the back of the engine, very common for rubbing through the wiring loom. EDIT too late

Ok. Just take it back and kick up a stink, there are plenty of decent examples around at that price so no point is messing about with it.

What do you mean by it was 'dropping coolant'? I assume you mean the coolant level is going down with no visible leaks from anywhere? You dont see many head gaskets go on F4R's, theyre pretty bomb proof so id get some proper diag by someone who knows what theyre doing.

Ive only just noticed just how far over to the right the pedals are! The clutch pedal is in line with the centre of the wheel, mental. Still, seems comfy enough.

Yea but then they have to half the cable size so the can crimp a ring terminal on the end, making it totally pointless.

I are confused. Theres a perfectly suitable earth on the rear panel, the earth for the rear lights. No need to run an earth all the way back to that earth point. This is the reason the body is earthed!

Williams looks fantastic

So you want to sand down the slam panel to use as an earth? It will soon go rusty and look shite. Just use the standard earth behind the headlight, wont need sanding because its already bare.

That is rather nice though! I was looking at E34's too, like this for eg http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140677670717?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Peanuts and its a minter.

Yea thats the guy! Good find sir! This is where I find out its a ringer ;)

Think the guy did say he was on there, As for the spoiler thought it was an mtech one but not totally sure.

I am actually eye'ing up a new strut brace! So I will give you first dibs on this one pal.
