mhmills Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Posted August 26, 2011 Been "tinkering" and trying to work out why she no work. We're under the impression that the timing chain has let go, still uncertain, but she is definately missing a beat. :( One idea we've had, is to chuck in one of the 5k's I have temporarily. I don't particularly feel like driving my old man VS Statesman V8 for a daily, laters fuel... Cheers, Jake. Quote
dpb Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 Me likey that idea give me a shout if u want a hand :) Quote
mhmills Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Posted August 27, 2011 Problems fixed thanks to Mr Evan G. After much f@$king around, cylinder 2 wasn't getting any/much of a spark... This meant it was missing and sounded like a WRX with NO balls. A replacement dizzy cap fixed it :) She's running all good now. While he was over I convinced him to fit some new headlights too. I am now no longer running sealed beams! The new ones are so much brighter, I can visibly see things at night now. It's amazing. Cheers, Jake. Quote

mhmills Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Posted August 29, 2011 Felt like Christmas in August for me today. SO many packages arrived :) I FINALLY RECEIVED MY BRAND NEW CUSCO TE37 STRUT BRACE!!!! So happy :) And some other knick knacks for the AE71. I enjoyed the "instructions" that came with the strut brace. Apparently the strut brace can only be used in Japan, I showed them! Cheers, Jake.
