rian Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 What exactly did you fix to get it running again? Or did it just fix itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 New dizzy, new TPS and loom plug and starter signal wire to ECU. The dizzy was a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 So I decided its time to deal with my pedal box, gear box issues. Pulled the pedal box out so I can weld it back together. Glad I kept the bit that snapped off :y: My dodgy temporary fix :lolcry: well it worked for about a year! And everything out And here is a video of what I'm dealing with with the clutch fork. It worked fine for about 5 minutes after i 'fixed it' last time then it felt like something popped out of place and I went back to half pedal throw. Pretty annoying. You can also see how close it is to the exhaust flange. http://youtu.be/a8g-ukCJoHQ Will drop the box next and try and sort this fork issue, and put the open center in I got.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Glad I kept the bit that snapped off :y: And where would that piece be? Fcuk knows. It was sitting in the same place for about 9 months and now is not there. Edit: this is what I'm dealing with, does anyone have an AE71 pedal box they could take some good pics of the clutch master mount for me? Mostly interested in the tube bolt thing. Pretty sure I can rangi something up that'll work fine. Edited February 12, 2013 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rian Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Just bolt the master cylinder to the firewall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Nah. the firewall flexes too much. What i really need to know is the distance between the rear of the pedal box mount to the face of the master cylinder, there is a built in spacer on the rear. Once i know that ill reweld a stronger plate on. I reckon the previous guy bolted the master on but didnt put a spacer on the other bolt which caused it to twist over time snapping the mount point off. At least thats how it looks.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Hmm, was looking for a part number to get a replacement thrust bearing to fork clip and found out the one in there IS COMPLETELY WRONG. *deep breaths* :rant: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 In some ways it good. If I had bought a perfect car that needed no work I would not be learning anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Dropped the box to install the throwout bearing clips, found out the bearing thing is wrong (why am I not surprised?) So I need to source the proper bearing carrier. Started fixing the pedal box. Drew up a few templates Cut it out, not quite right. Trimmed, fits perfect Template transferred to steel. Will bolt it in there once I have drilled out the mounting holes at work. Cleaned up and trimmed to fit snug The two most hated parts of my car ATM, you can see where i trimmed the old clutch master mount off (or what was left of it. And how its looking :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Uncle Shady comes up with the goods, just waiting on a replacement bearing from Bursons. Anyone have any idea what the thrust bearing in there came out of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Epic shed session today. New thrust bearing and carrier in with new fork clips and a new boot. Reverse lights hooked up. Gearbox installed. Pedal box repaired and installed. Steering column put back, all dodgy loose wires hidden. Locked center out, open center in. So mechanically it should be all good to go.
