shits and giggles

sounds a bit like you've melted some wiring together or something seeing as not much has changed in the actual wiring, either that or an earth has come loose somewhere, but sounds like a bit of an odd problem to me

yeah fuckit for the night

sort it later

hey andy, have you been in touch with mc clintock? he runs a redtop in his ipra... he is happy to share advice but can be hard to rack down

id link to his build, but the censor stick wont let me ...

[Andy San]

yeah i've had a pretty good study of that one on "that other website"

so tidy, one of the insirations for what i hope to get out of my car.

[s14seriesII]

flat battery ? loose or missing earth strap from the block to negative/ body earth ?

[fantapants]

thats what im hoping.... battery is on trickle charge now, and the terminals were not overly tight....

Getting there Pat, if you need a hand with any ecu settings etc let me know!

Big difference with Yates' car and the IPRA cars is that they have dry sumps. When the motors that much lower, it can go that far further fwd.

BTW, single piece steel pans from earlier 3S's do not fit, and even if they did you'd be removing one of the best parts of these engines.

yeah wasnt sure thanks for the clarification ant

will chew your ear of about the vidiguage in the new year

[fantapants]

so this was meant to be the post where i wrote....














it started


















but its not. everything is hooked up right and ive sorted all the little gremlins that popped up. But it just turns over and occasionally backfires.

Bummed it wont be ready by chrissy

[fantapants]

FUCKING BOOM...... runs like a mother fucker, but it RUNS!!!!!!!!!!







however, my awesome talent for breaking shit that doesnt need breaking, means i have to get a replacement oil cooler. It has a spanky speed hole that has lubricated my driveway nicely.

it WAS an original earls cooler. Are they THAT much better than the generic fleabay stuff??? honest opinions appreciated I dont mind spending the coin if its worth it, but not to just say i have an earls cooler ... ?

turns out it was my ability to plug things in that held me up. The loom i got off ant - spotless, bhut unlabelled, meant i had to simply plug them in the appropriate hole so to speak. I must have been having a bad night when i plugged the coils and the injectors for cylinders 3 and 4 - they were backwards. checked with colours and wiring diagrams and swapped em round.... and off she went and there she leaked
