Bussey Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Good news for tonight.Found out my flywheel got a bit hotter than imagined, may need to calm the right foot down a bit now Big thanks to steve for sorting me out. Big love! New top/old bottom Oh and in the 14 months she hadn't had electrics on, she's only picked up one fault! That's good right? WHY YOU NO WORK WIPERS! Yet again, Steve's having look Sunday, fingers crossed we get it sorted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bussey Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Heaters all done, ducting onAnd turbo timer and greddy controller fitted to the dash. Looks like a Christmas tree now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bussey Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Productive day, Mr Windett popped round and we managed to get the wipers working which was sweet, only problem I'm having now is with the headlights, sidelights work just not the main beams. The car has one of these aftermarket HID kits on it, everything's still connected right which has left me clueless. Can the ballasts dry up or is there somthing else obvious I'm missing?

littlegreenmonster Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Normally if the ballasts go they stop all together but it could be the stalk its self i have the same problem with my mr2 it will flash high beam but wont stay on constant 😂😂 so i assume the stalk connector has give up bud, could be wrong though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think the ballast have given up after sitting around for 14 months then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 its unlikely both ballasts have packed up at the same time, check wiring and plugs between ballasts and the bulbs as the wire is very thin and becomes brittle during our cold winters and breaks. had this happen on my daily Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bussey Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Well after wasting about 90 quid on turbo-manifold vband flanges that didn't fit, I bit the bullet and ordered from Owen Devolopments today. 110 quid for 1 flange and Vband. Unreal Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bussey Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Good progress James, what's left til shes back on the road?Thanks mate, to be honest just the engine, I had to notch my block last night because my engine builder couldn't be bothered, so now that that's done it should be back together today, and hopefully she's running by Sunday. Making my own exhaust system up now as well, which should speed things up, ordered all the 3 inch stainless tube and bends. That should be here tommorow hopefully. Then it's all systems go with some help from the local starlet posse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
