That's why I like your BBS rims Bill. That Snake Tongue Spoke design has alway been my Favourite.

Drove out to Theodore and back. The King Springs feel great! :D

(I might have to adjust the headlights to point more down at the ground now) :yes:

Ive been slack and done nothing, waiting for the good paint stripper to be in stock.

I have to strip it to bare metal, because the clear is peeling and you never know what exactly makes it peel.. so it has to be all removed or it will happen again.

I would like to sodablast but it will cost a few hundred for sure, and my aim is to keep the cost as low as possible but still do a proper job.

Shes all pulled apart, vynil gone, even got the doorhandles out.

Must fit brake air deflectors and radius rod braces tonight.

In the meantime im learning some tricks and techniques to make it quick, easy, cheap and good quality.

What i did to the interior bugs me, so i try not to think about it. ill take care of that later.

Drove her to work and back today as she had not moved in two weeks due to the extreme heat. Will take it again tomorrow i think. It was loving the cold weather.

Well in the mail today I received 3 packages, 36mm socket, CV boot and my adjustable control arm bushes.

So today I finally got out the 2nd tie rod end (after 2 broken tie rod end splitter tools, hammering, ball joint forking and heating) and burnt out the old control arm bushes.

Hopefully tomorrow my new tie rod ends turn up and I have time to buy a tap and die set so I can get the control arms back in.

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
