Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 It was a good day yesterday tinkering lol even if it was a bit on the chilly side lol but it was sure sounding a lot better when we had done even if we were making more jobs as we went along lol Quote
sharki_p9 Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 nice! but sounds like running bit to rich ?! Quote
rob_bower Posted December 13, 2012 Author Posted December 13, 2012 It was a good day yesterday tinkering lol even if it was a bit on the chilly side lol but it was sure sounding a lot better when we had done even if we were making more jobs as we went along lolYea it was cold. Definitely sounds better, still not 100% though. It's not our fault things kept breaking. Lol thanks for the help though dude it was much appreciated. I think we ironed a few bits out. Shame about the battery/charging/holding charge issue. Something not right somewhere. Once that's sorted I can start figuring out the rest of the wiring issues. Quote
kidV Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Mr Rob, have you changed the starter/alternator since the positive/earthing wire issue?Possible it's made one shat it's self?Just an idea. Quote
rob_bower Posted December 13, 2012 Author Posted December 13, 2012 No that's my next venture, starter must be ok as it does start just the battery either isn't charging or holding charge. Or at least that's where my train of thought is heading. Quote
yaristurbo Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) Nice 1 palMine started like that when temp sensor wasn't plugged in Edited December 13, 2012 by yaristurbo Quote

morgey Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Coming together dude, yeah reverse light only has to work if its there, jdm rears = mo reverse light What front brakes you looking for? Disc pads calipers or big upgrade? Quote
rob_bower Posted January 8, 2013 Author Posted January 8, 2013 Coming together dude, yeah reverse light only has to work if its there, jdm rears = mo reverse light What front brakes you looking for? Disc pads calipers or big upgrade?Ill be looking for something a little more substantial. Currently running glanza grooved discs and project mu pads. Quote
morgey Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Ahh yeah i had to uprate from them after a short track session, unfortunately big brakes are a fair whack but so far my WMS seem well worth the money, but i guess the real test will be when i get it back on the track!All the best with the hunt Quote
Amjad Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I would definitely recommend single pot GT4s as a budget but very effective upgrade! Quote
rob_bower Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 With the help or socks we managed to smash loads of jobs off the list today.

And as we were saying the other day I have a caliper. May have other stuff too ya need if ya want to pop over one day. Keep it up and it will be done for Japfest! Quote
rob_bower Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 Cheers rob. I've got another hub here with a decent bearing in. Just needs cleaning up and fitting. And balls I forgot to check which caliper it was. Bit yea ill have to pop up one day. Quote
