All painted and delivered! :D

Also i have a problem, i went to start the car for the first time for about 10 months, Fuel pumps running, it started, idled for about 5 seconds then died, fuel pump keeps running constanly! im thinking the fuel pump is working just not pumping it to the engine ?? Should i hit around the fuel pump, take it out and clean it or simply replace it ? the tank was dead empty for as i said 10-12 months, i have chucked 25 litres into it but still it keeps pumping and car keeps turning over just no start. any help would be great.

Thanks

Adam

Could be pump, could be sticky injectors. I would buy a 342 Walbro or Deatschwerks and running a relay for it to run 14v. If you need injectors I have plenty here. Sorry to hear mate but these things happen I guess.

GOOD NEWS! Putting 25 litres of fuel into the tank and letting it sit overnight has done some good! car now starts and runs but fuel pump still runs constanly, will grab dads trade plate and take it for a 10 minute drive to see if it stops, if not ill invest in a new one and see if that makes a difference. Took 2 photo for you, its filthy so once i get it out and washed ill take some better ones.

cheers

good news once again!!

I found what the noise was! it was the 4wd pump! that smashed relay i posted on page 3 or 4 is the problem, dad wrigled it around and the 4wd light went off on the dash and the noise stopped :D have to do some more searching to see if i can find a new one, but finnaly everything is nearly finshed on the poor old girl!

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
