Stani helped me (again!(Y)) to get rear calipers and carriers, so finally, it's gonna happen, the SR will be up and running asap....MOT, tax, insure, then lightly modify!! :p
Cheers MB, i've got a rusty SR sitting outside that's looking like the only option i reckon...probably just a standard(ish) runabout though :p
Tell me about it, gutted that my first car died like that, but couldn't have hoped for better friends to help me out when my ass was dragging the floor...
Sooo, made and fitted my de-cat at the weekend, and it is bloody loud! Not sure if it makes any performance difference but it definitely makes me drive like an utter cock just to hear the noise :p also had the headlights fly-eyed courtesy of Stani, painted the wheels again, so it's just that...
The easiest way to a fully functioning mirror is a replacement mate...pop the cover off the inside, undo three screw/bolts, throw the knackered one as far as you can and refit the working one you got earlier from the local scrappy in a reversal of removal fasion! :p other wise spend ages opening...
How do man, and welcome...i'm no expert, but with a bit of luck you could just have a worn down key profile, (144k might do that!) and a flat battery! Do you have a spare key, and in what way does the car not start if you turn the key quickly? Does the key still turn, or does it get stuck mid turn?
Yeah, i had (still have intermittantly) a slight stalling/lumpy idle issue when i first start the car from cold, so i switched to stock stuff to see if that helped...it didn't so i just live with the spluttery start on cold mornings eh :p
Definitely a difference! The acceleration felt "strangled" with the stock stuff on, there was much less response when you plant it...and a couple of of flat spots too :p
I know, i got greedy for the glory matey :p So, you're going in June aren't ya, to help me get 16's eh? Brilliant, cheers man, i'll get you a lorne n egg, usual time and place lol :wasntme:
Cheers Frank! (Y) I was an utter novice today, but practice will help, and i'm taking my flask of coffee next time too! ZZzzzZ...:sleepy:...oh, a green light...
Well, my first time driving at Crail...i got a little bit quicker every run bar one, 200ths of second slower than the one before :p Annoyed though, my last run was the quickest...but i was asleep at the start...
a 1.205 reaction time, and 17.098 1/4 time. Next time i'm getting into the 16's...
Got my manifold back on, and the throttlebody, injectors, F.P.R, and ecu back in, such a difference!:grinning:
Some steelies to stick on, and i'll take it to Crail on Sunday, see how it does :p
