Chris Green Posted December 30, 2013 Author Posted December 30, 2013 sorry to hear this bud! not good! Phil. Me too mate, getting pretty sick of it now. I'm picking up distributor tomorrow to see if it resolves the lack of running cylinders. Hopefully it's just a bad spell and nothing too serious lurking. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 fingers crossed for u dude! Phil. Quote
vizzioarts Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Always seems to be something else going wrong with this build hope you get it sorted Chris! Quote
Chris Green Posted December 31, 2013 Author Posted December 31, 2013 Tell me about it mate, it's just one thing after another. Hopefully I'll have something positive to report back later today. Quote

Chris Green Posted December 31, 2013 Author Posted December 31, 2013 Not good news, really good strong sparks once the new distributor was put on. Wont start at all now, fuel going in, good spark. No go. Any ideas? Quote
maddox710 Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Done a compression test, don't. Sound good Quote
Chris Green Posted December 31, 2013 Author Posted December 31, 2013 Going to get one down tomorrow. Aye, not looking positive. Quote
vizzioarts Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Going to get one down tomorrow. Aye, not looking positive.Compression test is the next port of call.Timing should be alright? But might explain it if something has slipped. That 5e is a living nightmare Quote
Chris Green Posted December 31, 2013 Author Posted December 31, 2013 Tell me about it mate. In the event that it needs pulled out again and rings or valve stem oil seals done. Would anyone be interested in buying the car or be interested in the parts? I need to weigh up my options here as I need something reliable for work and it just isn't suitable to be using it ever day. Quote
Jamie93DLZ Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Chris dont give up, seems that engine is a doose, threw it in the corner and fire a 1.3 in again, its rough to say this but look at the price off N/a starlets, there not making much. Fix it as you will only regret it. Wish id never sold my sr but will be in one again soon so i need a starlet buddy lol Quote
Billy SR Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) after 2 n/a's i got bored and bought a corolla. end of story until i leave uni and can financially afford to run a glanza. Edited January 1, 2014 by Billy SR Quote
Jamie5414 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Tell me about it mate. In the event that it needs pulled out again and rings or valve stem oil seals done. Would anyone be interested in buying the car or be interested in the parts? I need to weigh up my options here as I need something reliable for work and it just isn't suitable to be using it ever day. I'd be interested in the Remix front bumper mate. I'm sure it won't come to breaking it up though? as said even if it comes to throwing a n/a engine back in, you can get them for cheap now! Quote
vizzioarts Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Yep, throw back in a 4efe. Or if you can afford it, garage it and run a cheap as chips reliable daily until you gain interest again. Would be a real shame to see this sold on or even worse broke to bits. Quote
Chris Green Posted January 1, 2014 Author Posted January 1, 2014 At the moment, I'm working in an area that's not easy to get to. I will have to get 3 buses at a cost of £11 a day for a journey that takes 20 minutes in the car. I really am losing interest at the moment. I cant keep chucking money at it just to make it run. It owes me a fortune now and it's still not working. Money isn't really the issue, I have a bit put away for things like this, but it is a huge inconvenience. I may look into buying a cheap daily, but I know that interest will be lost and I won't be bothered with it. Quote
dan106 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Feel for ya bro Youve put way too much work into this car to give up now! Quote
motion Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Feel for ya bro Youve put way too much work into this car to give up now!Yes! I wanted to say the same Quote
Jamie93DLZ Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 You might laugh here but if you want a cheap daily get a 106 diesel, have one myself and they run on fumes.. You most likely would lose interest in it chris, just stick a 1.3 in it again so you wont. Quote
Jamie5414 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Best daily is a clio dci if you ask me, 80mpg on runs and not much below that around the city. If you get the dci80 that's got a inter cooler too, the dci65 doesn't Edited January 1, 2014 by Jamie5414 Quote
Phil Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 4efe thee wee brute as a daily (see jay for the necessary bits) then take your time building your 5e ~na weapon or a forged 4efte for the future. Phil Quote
Chris Green Posted January 1, 2014 Author Posted January 1, 2014 Really not sure what to be doing at the moment. Haven't done a compression test yet, as I haven't got a hold of the tester yet. Garage cleared, car parked up. All being well, I'll have some news tonight. Quote
