Yeah, it's gold. And it smells of warm horse sperm.

The thing is, I keep getting smug people say things like "You're an idiot if you can't get that running, let me come look at it!" Cue them coming over and becoming equally confused.

It's had:

New Fuel filter.
Carb Rebuild
New Dizzy
New Leads
Tried a different coil
New battery

It's getting a fuel, and a spark and air. Needs a compression test and may test the fuel pump for teh lolz.

If your 100% sure its getting them........Check the timing, could be its getting air,fuel and sparks but not in the right order

Jason_E · Apr 14, 2011

Yeah, the RAC guy set it by eye and it DID run, I mean nothing has changed since then. He did say to get it done properly but the thing is the engine wont run at all now. He seemed to think it was crap in the fuel system and timing which caused it not to run.

Winston · Apr 14, 2011

The solex carb has a solinoid thats fed from a live wire from the dizzy?.. Where have you checked your getting fuel from?

If your getting fuel, spark and air.... Its not getting enough of one or two of them

Jason_E · Apr 14, 2011

Well it stinks of fuel and the plugs smell of fuel after a good clean up (As in cleaned the shite out of them, put them back in, crack over, smells of fuel again).

MarcoB · Apr 14, 2011

loosen the distributor and get a friend to crank it over while you twist it clockwise and anticlockwise until it starts.

OR

If you take the dizzy off there should be a marker of some sort in the plastic casing/block that indicates where number 1 cylinder should fire. Turn the engine with a ratchet until it reaches tdc in number 1 cylinder and see how far out your distributor is. then adjust the dizzy so that the marker matches up to the dizzy arm

Laura · Apr 15, 2011

we couldnt get my original engine to work despite it being driven onto the trailer.

didnt matetr too much as it was coming out anyway but they do seem to be a little baffling from time to time

Christopher · Apr 15, 2011

Cool ornament.

Gaz. · Apr 15, 2011

Just get a modern lump put in. Pissing about with dizzys and carbs, f**k that.

Thats nice. I like it

MarcoB · Apr 16, 2011

Its fun playing with carbs. I love setting the carbs and dizzy for top end and then you get loads of overrun at the bottom end = pop pop.

Jason_E · Apr 16, 2011

I want a G40 lump.

Scrooge · Apr 16, 2011

I'm really liking this the more and more I look at the thread, i'm even coming round to the colour. This should turn out wikid!

PMSL! Get rid of those carbs and dizzy! 1.8T FTW! (I dont have a clue if this is a "possible" fit or not, but please drop something epic in there!)

How much did you pay for the car?

MaLicE · Apr 21, 2011

why not do something original??

Gaz. · Apr 21, 2011

What's actually left to do that's original on an old rotten golf?

Why not stfu? I jest, but seriously, I love my friends art and thought it'd be a laugh.

Gaz. said:

It's not even rotten, but it does smell a bit odd. But yeah, I'm too poor to be that original so I'll just have fun. PROBLEM INTERNET HEROS?

Gaz. · Apr 21, 2011

Never said I had a problem son. Taking it too seriously for somebody who doesn't give a f**k?

That odd smell is the interior rotting, from all the sperm that has been emptied into it over the years

I wasn't being serious mate, LOL! Yeah IIRC Gold MK1 Golfs get bitches.

MaLicE · Apr 21, 2011

it just seems you do everything everyone else has done lol, lower, wheels in a random colour and now you are copying the whole black marker on white paint thing that has been done before.... im not knocking you... just do something original...

Jason_E · Apr 21, 2011

Personally I've never seen a "Black marker on white paint" thing, but either way I like it so Imma have it!

Next week Im fitting a frying pan on the roof. Original, innit!

I think it was the skyline in Japan that had the marker thing, I'm looking forward to seeing your end result though.

Jason_E · Apr 21, 2011

Yeah I remember a silver skyline having tribal style things all over it, but that's one guy IMO.

I can't wait to see it finished, looks dope enough as it is tbh!

MaLicE · Apr 21, 2011

timberlands son has it all over his lambo lol.

MaLicE · Apr 21, 2011

oh and a bmw here...

not so original now is it

Jason_E · Apr 21, 2011

Yeah it's a good job I never called it original, I just said I haven't really seen it used much.

Idiot.

Philip. · Apr 21, 2011

Itll look great.

To me it's still pretty original. I have NEVER seen a car in the flesh with art drawn on, only a few on the net.
That includes being at shows etc.
Looking forward to it mate, keep us up to date!

Rob · Apr 22, 2011

You look like a 90 year old man, stooped right over, driving that thing! LOL!

Get y0 gangsta lean on.

P.s - I must confess, I think the wing is ruining it a bit. If he either a) drew on the gold, or b) drew on the white with a gold paint pen, maybe.

Is it much to insure?

LOL I was leaning to look in my side mirror, as the cable to adjust it has snapped and it just points down

I have an incredible lean on in that whip.

It costs me £1190 for 10 months TPFT, Boras renewal was about £1400. Me on a Clio of the same value (so a MK2 PH1 1.2) would be £1500ish.

Nafoff · Apr 22, 2011

close up of finished wing?

Jason_E · Apr 22, 2011

Not finished yet, not sure when we'll get it done as I'm working today and tomorrow.

Don't you drive a Jap car with the boost turned up and Enkei Wheels?? Yeah, good originality.

Christopher · Apr 22, 2011

It still looks stupendously sh*t, but the stance and wheels are spot on.

Sort the colour combo out and get some seats that aren't from a bloody CRX and it's getting there.

I actually really like the wing! Looks cool! Even the green wheels would look awesome if the car was grey. Do it in Storm Grey.

Yeah, it's gold. And it smells of warm horse sperm.
