Mirage-Man's - 1988 Hyundai Stellar
MIRAGE-MAN replied to MIRAGE-MAN's topic in Projects and Build Ups
Clean as F**k. Gotta love a clean engine bay, the clean rocker cover really brings it out. Replaced the rocker cover gasket today, after driving around South Auckland trying too get one. Did an oil flush / filter change. And did a full clean of the engine bay. I also replaced the leads as well. She's idling OK. Shes really quiet while idling. I feel it's set too low, as I keep thinking she's gonna stall at the lights. But Yeah, it as adjusted as high as it can go by the looks of things. Anyway, ended up doing about 40KM'S of driving out the back country roads of Papakura. So I'm happy.- 31 replies

Well finally an update on the Stellar, shes been a non runner for the past few months. Me and my good mate Steven, along with some help through txt message from @piazzanoob 24/7 mechanical help line, LOL (thanks mayte)The old girl roared back into life today, after being parked up for 5 months while I fucked around doing nothing and swearing at myself, thinking I had brought a fucked car with some stupid Mitsubishi engine. They are actually good engines, when their working well anyway. I brought some new parts for it last month - spark plugs, distributer, rotor, points, condenser and coil. Everything like the distributer, points and things had corroded and were apart of the issue is too why the Stellar was not starting / running. Once we got her firing and running for about 20 seconds at a time, every time we put gas directly into the carb, and then a few sprays of Start Ya Bastard, we noticed that petrol was pouring out around the carburettor seal. As we took the carburettor off a few months ago, to give it a clean, we must have disrupted the seal without realising it, and this was the reason she was only running for 20 seconds at a time. We then took the whole carb off and cleaned up the seal and got some silicone over it. Then with a big burst of blue smoke, she started up. Like a typical Mitsubishi 4G32, at one end she was running pretty smoothly, and at the other you wouldn’t think so. Smoke Smoke every fucking where LOL. She’s running a lot better now, and no longer hesitates going over 80km/h. It was like that from the day I brought it. I am able to do 110KPH on the back roads of Papakura very easily now in the old girl. I’ve got too get a few seals and do an oil change next. But for now, i’ll catch up on the months of driving I missed, but yeah. At least she’s driveable now.- 31 replies

Auckland Monthly Meet - Wednesday 23rd August
MIRAGE-MAN replied to Threeonthetree's topic in Upper North Island Region
Got no money, and I have other commitments tonight. -
The time has come for me too move from the storage place I've been using for the past year. Need another place ASAP. I'm don't care if it's inside or outside or on muddy grass, I don't really care. I'm more than happy too do a weekly automatic payment. And I'm possibly looking as far as Hamilton. If anone could help me out, that would be sweet. Thanks guys.

The old Stellar is still parked up, I haven't done anything to it in nearly 3 months. Getting some money in at the moment, so I'll hopefully be able too start doing more work on it. But yeah she ain't driveable, it's turning over but not starting / running like shit. While i'm waiting too get it running for summer cruzin, it's gone a bit moldy on the inside. That's all I got for an update at the moment.- 31 replies

I'm sure if you saw another person locally driving a Pizza. Which may be unlikely. You'd wanna have a chat.- 63 replies

Does anyone know this morons name, who is complaining. Does anyone have his address? I would have also voted having the meet outside his house. Stoddard is even closer for me. Yay!!!- 63 replies

Started up the old girl the other day. She's running like absolute shit. It's hesitation too go over 60KPH, and the rough running is leading me too a gummed up carburetor. Put some CRC carb cleaner through it, and it helped, but not too much. I'll pull it off soon, maybe before I do the engine work, as I want too drive it more before I take the engine apart. Other than that, everything in Stellar land is good.- 31 replies
