hehe a space ship with a top secret nose cone... wonder if they have uk spec indicators? n00b

do aliens only work at night ? n00b

well hats off to you fella... think your brave ... cant wait to do it myself... as for my money situation i might buy my bits seperately... a bit every month lol

did you find it cheaper buying the bits seperately?

im 25 and i have a L reg NA auto. 17's. oem sideskirts spats. top secret bumper. 3 years no claims. no tickets or accidents. sky quoted me £1006 i think this is very high .... think my mileage has ushed it up 15000 a year. pretty miffed off really!

i had a honda civic that did this.... but i sold it before getting it fixed... the guy i sold it to seemed to think he could replace a bit and sort it for around 40-50 squid... sorry couldnt be more help n00b

BRING BACK THE BOT! /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_angry.gif hes my only friend lol... no really havnt seen it yet ... but would be intresting to have a chat to it

i would love to do ithis... just bourght a house and its screwing around with my car plans.... damn it ! after the rewire replumb new kitchen new bathroom and i have 2 lodgers in to pay my mortgage im going na-t.... might have to buy a stealth car aswell as i wouldnt be able to afford the petrol to run it 75 miles everyday lol

this looks great ... is it channel 413 on sky? n00b

i meant hear instead of here... whoops... only had 2 beers aswell lol n00b

are your brakes ok ... no strange noises... had a similar problem turned out the calipers where not returning correctly. i got severe vibrations and noises at speed... you would be able to here it from the wheels when driving (in my case the rear wheels)... charlie

i had a similar problem check my thread here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=78677 ... it was very strrange everything was sparking but the cylinders just didnt fire... the garage i took it to cleaned all the connectors up and got it fireing again ... but just to be sure i bourght 6 new plugs new set of ht lead new dizzy cap new dizzy arm came to a total of £180 at trade prices. since changing them all it runs like a dream (i dont know how long my engine had been missing for) at idle the engine sounds sooo quiet now and my fuel consumption is alot better i got my parts from ek brakes in lancaster (with a trade discount from a friend) on closer inspection of the dizzy arm it looked pretty cooked on the top and very worn and ruff. need anymore info just yell Charlie

also its a ford

very cool always wanted a speedboat... i would love it but i havnt got a tow bar for the supra or anywhere to store it lol... n00b

think it might need a trip to a auto electricians.... they could probally fix this quite quickly.... i had a similar problem with a civic and never managed to get it fixed (but i never took it anywhere to be looked at) i just put it down to the age of the central locking motors. n00b

got to say since its fixed... i dont think it feels sooo much faster and acceleration is improved by huge amounts... must have been dodgy for a while and atleast i have had a compression test done now and i know thats all A ok thanks guys n00b

Fixed /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_grin.gif :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: ended up dodgy connections

forgot to mention i tried swapping the ht leads with the cylinders that where fireing and i was still getting the misfire on 3 and 6.

hi i think i might invest in a new pair of ht leads to make sure im a member of the AA (as from last saturday)... wouldnt they mind if i said i broke down where the vehicle is kept currently? i was thinking they would tell me to go and jump or just tow it to some random garage/home? Charlie

hi all, still having problems im afraid.. i have checked sparked plugs ... ht leads ... distributer ... and all injectors... there is sparks from plugs and the injectors are pumping petrol (checked tonight by removing ejectors and turning engine over) but cylinders 3 and 4 are still not working. i have made a recording of the sounds the engine makes at idle reving and ignition (see attached in real media player format.) http://www.charlesdavey.co.uk/images/supra/driver.amr idle reving and ignition recorded in drivers seat http://www.charlesdavey.co.uk/images/supra/engine.amr idle and reving recorded in engine bay i really dont know what to do next... im not even sure what to llok for nnext ... im going to try a garage but im scared of being ripped off. i really dont know where to turn as its my only car and im struggling to get to work untill i get the car running again... i cant seem to find anyone who has had the same problem with a n/a Charlie

it seems that the cyliders are not getting any fuel (from loooking at the new spark plugs). i have tested the connection to the injectors and they are fine (they are live and turn a bulb on) so that leaves me to belive it must be the injectors themselves ... going to remove the injector rail tomorrow so i can check they are pushing fuel out... hopefully thats it are new injectors expensive? thanks Charlie

im running a compression test tonight so hopefully that will find that out (i think) ... i dont recall the engine running fast after ignition. everything was runniing really well. the only reason i changed the coolant and flushed the heater matrix is that its approaching autumn and i didnt want to be cold again this winter (got to say the heating works a charm now ). Charlie

it sounds evenly rough ... like it misses on time everytime ... when you press the accelerator it misses on time with the engine accelerating.... when you get the engine up to high revs you cant notce it as much. Charlie

its definately sparking i put a plug in the number 6 ht lead and held it with rubber plyers and watched it spark off the engine cover (while a friend turned it on) Charlie

i have a guy coming around tonight to run a compression test... (far beyond my abilities) hopefully he will find something. i just wish it was something simple like ht leads... it just doesnt make sense Charlie
