Chris Green Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 sounds very promising bud! Phil. Cheers dude! Sounds good! Back on track Remix on for the 8th? Back on track indeed! I think I've bumped the exterior mods up ahead of ECU - just for show season next year It will indeed - been trying to hunt out a set of '98 spec fogs in a rush. Got some thanks to Greenmachine81. busy weekend ahead bud Going to be a mental one this weekend - will get those clocks wired in for you too. Quote
Chris Green Posted December 1, 2013 Author Posted December 1, 2013 I had to take a trip down to the Starlet Rehabilitation Centre aka The Costa yesterday with suspected headgasket failure. A ton of smoke and mis-firing on cylinder 4. Also a heavy oil leak where the engine number is stamped. Compression test done 15.5 to 16 bar across all four, so head gasket and ring failure ruled out. Oil leak discovered at the distributor, solved with a new O ring. Plugs also changed. Problems pointed towards the plug with smoke and mis-fire. left the costa weened off the oil. So a nice easy weekend of polishing and fitting a bumper turned into a nightmare, but massive thanks to Jay! Quote

Was looking forward to seeing the bumper too! haha. Back on track anyway Quote

Back on track anyway Cheers Chris, not quite back on track yet, bumper still to go and and polishing to be done. Also forgot to mention I tidied up the wiring for my gauges, ran out of heat shrink, so not as tidy as I would like it. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 looks pretty damn tidy to me bud! Phil. Quote
Chris Green Posted December 3, 2013 Author Posted December 3, 2013 Cheers Phil. Ideally I would have heat shrunk the 3 earths and the sensor wires together. Ran out if wire tidy too, so would have ran all three through that. But, I'll save it for another weekend. Quote
