Super low miles! Will be a good project. The suspension / coilovers from 82/91's will fit. You need to drill the too mount holes out bigger tho. And you might find the bolts that go through the hub are a diffent size, but they still bolt up ok
It's a good job you have taken a break. Other wise you might if had a roid raged and smashed something up haha But seriously your only trying carb cleaner now? What have you been doing lol
Any one near Andover or Southampton with a standard ish starlet turbo? My mate keeps saying he need to spend some of his money. I keep telling him to get a starlet. But he want to go out in one before he spends his hard earned cash. Who's about then?
So with the stater fitted you get the clicking noise. That indicats the solenoid is switching over. Does the stater get hot at all if you hold it in the cranking position. If it does that would indicate the armature is jammed. Strange how it doesn't turn the engine over with that fly. Plenty of people have used drilled 4e flys on 5e's. if say its more a mechanical problem rather than electrical. The fact that you had to grind the gear box to allow the engine to turn would have been the first give away for me
Must be jamming the starter motor on the fly wheel. You said it turns the engine over for about 5 seconds. Does it make a screeching noise whilst doing so? That would indicate the stater motor is to tight against the fly
Would be a good idea to prime the turbo before starting. Pull the king lead off crank the engine till you have oil running out the return and your good to fire up
You want to get some tien ones, ( think that's how you spell it. DUI moment ? ) they look awesome! I want some on mine! Not sure how the jam bonnet will like them! Thinking a nice big bonnet hinge extender bracer
Aww poor slug. Good you saved him. I ate one when I was a kid haha. But seriously..... Smoke bomb... Funniest thing all weekend. The look on your face was priceless!!
