v6 path aye theres a guy here in blenhime going the v6 path with twin turbos heres a pic

i had a issue like this with my eb civic it failed saying the brakes were under 50% but i knew i had just recon'd them my tyres were shit pizza cutters so let them down to 25psi and got a re-check and got 80% as it had more road traction to slow it

they the budget cheap ones saw them in repco

yes but the u bolts wont as there lil bit smaller

that car has seen better days whats the plan with it

I think billy used up all his 'get out of jail' tokens when he went to the nats. I'll text him though. I was hoping Sam might make it too but same again - no tokens left?

Im hoping to get dave the Irish avenger along. He now has 5 avengers but none are on the road. So offered him a seat but will depend on if he is free.

it would seem that i am all out of tokens will see what happens closer to the day i might be able to do a day trip but not stay my car is also out of action still but might tough the cold and get the worklights out and try get it going

we have decided to sell our house to buy one with a 5 car shed which im in need of which means i gotta finish half started reno's to get house listed to get max $$$ so been real busy on there and little time to come on here sadly once house done will be here in full force again

for anyone passing through on way there or on way home if ya want to stop in at mine in boom town 0273580471 txt me up

factory yes but i neva had the set up or the wires for it and i had a new gt40 non ballast in shed so wired that in and it ran started mint made it to nats and back

running a GT40 non ballast coil

i sprayed start ya barstard down the carb and still nothing no attempt to fire

and i tested the spark buy pulling the plugs out pluging them in and sitting them on tappet cover and wound it ova

the condenser and points were put on before going to nats could have burnt condenser out i guess

common sence would say i would have but got sick of waiting for tester and hav limited time to work on it at the mo thought doing the head gaskit might fix issues or that once head off might see the problem so pulled it off

don't want to sound dumb but have you checked that the idle cut off valve thing in the carb is opening fully just make sure its getting 12v and when you plug it in and out it clicks

yeah i got my partners old man who is a mech to put them in and set them right so im guessing he did it right

engine still not going pulled head off to replace head gaskit the one that was on there looked like it was fine nothing i could see blown anywere

checked cam timeing thats still right

checked dizzy timeing thats still right

has new points, condenser, dizzy cap, ht lead, all checked and set right

havn't finished putting bak it together yet before pulling head off checked rockers there were a little out but not enough to stop it running

basicly being a k mota if its got fuel some sort of spark at the right time and compression it should attempt to run but this isn't at all

thinking maybe spark is to weak running out of ideas really who knows maybe once its back together it will just go

put a ROTA in it

lol if i had a fuel tanker to tow with it

at this rate the car will be stolen by then since it got broken into last nite and my mini bike stolen out of it

I pulled the plugs out and going buy the online photo guide there all normal condition then i sat them on the tappet over pluged in and wound it ova could smell fuel coming out holes and could see spark on all 4 never had flooding issues before

im sure ive seen this topic here but when i need it i can't find it so heres my problem

i just did a 1300ks road trip to the north island for nats car made it there and back with a few minor issues including starting to over heat on the way home

so have put new thermostat in and new waterpump still getting hot thinking maybe headgaskit

then it got worse i went to start it to make sure the water was toped up fully and give it a run to see if its losing water as oil is still clear (not creamy) and couldn't see any major bubbles well running in water turned key fired up (from cold hadn't been running today) and as i don't have my choke hooked up yet did its usually coof coof splutter come right then stalled turned the key again and it just winds over with no sign of life at all

so have checked for spark has spark at coil and at plugs

then checked for fuel and its pumping fuel in at carb

engine turns over smooth and everything seems to be moving normal

hope to borrow compression tester see what i get back

does anyone have any other ideas on what could have happend

could be keen to join a oldschool tour of the south island road trip

should be just enough time for me to fix my car by then since it died last nite and now wont start at all

best way for people to see this in my eyes would be a group PM

Alex is still on holiday traveling round the north island so don't think he will see this for a week or so

13x8s min (make it work)

also i hope a old style water temp gauge is in the list of mods

it looks like the ones in 80s 4wd hiluxs
