no excuse mate, my starter motor is completely fubared and required a bump every time.
wont stop me from getting to this meet!! and i expect you to be there too ;) im sure people will lend a bump start if need be!
rob, add me to the halfway house meeting point, ill be there without fail!
its southend seafront on a saturday night,
it WILLL get attention from the law,
though providing we are doing nothing wrong (which i think its safe to say we wont),
they will turn a blind eye to everything, may even come and say a polite hello!
Parked down a side road in westcliff,
the one way road with loads of humps that spits out near the palace theatre!!
i chuckled to myself when i saw the cliosport.net sticker!
ok today the engine has been starting first time every time!!
wtf is going on??
ill give the connections a jiggle tomorrow when im working on it, and see if it makes any difference.
well i took it off,
but it had a very distinctive mark from where the screw had sat against it for all those years,
so i put it back exactly on that. and it runs perfectly!
thanks for the explaination though mick ;)
idle control valve?
TPS?
just general carb set up not injecting enough fuel?
not sure if any of those are on a carb engine

i would like it sooner rather than later,
but my local factors want £87 for a new one (though thats before adding my trader discount)

noo F7R, thankfully no immobiliser to worry about,
i dont think its the solenoid, i thought if you heard it click in and out then the solennoid is working,
its just the motor isnt spinning.
ON THE OTHER HAND!
i got in this morning and tried to start it normally just to humor it.
and it...
points stay on your licence for 3 years

im actually tempted to drive from southend to the halfway house, just so that i can for a bit of a drive :D
otherwise ill have got to southend before my cars warmed up! wheres the fun in that!!
AND Rob!
i asked before buy you ignored me (rude!)
i found that leather gator and window switch i...
ok so i charged the battery for 48 hours,
put it in the car, and still, the starter motor will not run!
bumped it and it started first time,
took it for a good hour long drive and it didnt miss a beat.
however, everytime i turned it off and attempted to run the starter motor,
it just...
a ncie bit of two tree island for ya ;)
just over the bridge towards the end!
ahh i love it when localers join the club!!
you're 18?? do you go to college in southend??
the wheels suit the car quite well,
not really my area of modification but with a 60mm lowering it would look rather nice!
tbh, you're juggling between budget coilovers.
i wouldnt expect too much from either tbh, handling may well suffer as a result,
especially if you dont get them set up properly.
personally id go for the V-Maxx because as said, ive never heard of the other ones.
i think they look awsome!
however, you may grow sick of looking at them
i thought bright blue buckets were great........2 years ago
now im sick of the sight of them!!
you left a burning fire in the middle of a wood unattended!!
you're worse than the cross burners! at least they would have had the courtesy to put the flames out after them!!
however PICS or ot never happened ;)
que another interesting MSpaint session!
