Joe's 98 starlet full Glanza rep TF035HM - final bits


Recommended Posts

Few small bits done today. 

Changed the timing belt and idler as it was catching the top timing cover and rubbing on the belt. Caused by putting the idler on the wrong way - stupid i know.

Tightened my throttle cable as it was too long and only getting 3/4 opening. Used a bonnet spacer with a slit in it to put on the pedal side and take up the slack. Makes a huge difference and seemed to want to kill me on full throttle, i like it. 

Next i pulled the plugs out to have a peek in the cylinders. I thought i could be looking at a bad HG but it was all dry and looked good. (See my other post in engines as to why) 

Outer Passenger door handle was reconnected along with the speedo cable. 

Made a list of all that needs doing and will be cracking on with in now.

Exhaust flexi replacement:20180507_195008.thumb.jpg.e33c6422c54b5b

I left the exhaust section off as next weekend i hope to have a look at my handbrake cables - no handbrake at all, and get a few more bits done but as fsr as i can remember all the bits under the car are done. Biggest thing on the list is a cat converter which i was hoping to get another downpipe and weld it into that.

Okay so an update.... seem to be getting more problems than solving them. 

Boost controller with mac solenoid wired in and working as far as i can tell. Ran off an auxillary fuse box. 20180526_150052.thumb.jpg.58a62b3c897d46

Slimline fan attached and wired using oem plug 20180526_132558.thumb.jpg.79631a7de6cf6abut not working. Dont have a 12v feed going to it when its supoosed to kick in. Temp sensor seems to be working as theres power to the signal of the relay in the fusebox. 

Exhaust back on, only to find its twisted when putting the flexi in and is hanging low and twisted. Fantastic :cray:

And lastly, ive developed a misfire..

Very bad under load its coughing and spluttering all the time with no power. Under light load she'll keep going but get worse as boost and throttle input rises. Plugs look to be quite sooty (ngk iridium 7's)20180526_174900.thumb.jpg.0948fff7fff835

Ive just cleaned the rotor arm with sandpaper and will test tomorrow and check the coil earth to chassis. If gone ill order a new cap and rotor. If not, ill start with the cap rotor and onto the leads and work back. I will be borrowing a timing gun and checking that also as mines gone walkabout.

 

Ive a feeling ill be dead and gone by the time this bitch gets near a road but hey-ho
