the running problem?? can i tell em mate!!!? it was an unusual one thats for sure! thats if im right i read about it on dubforce i think!

[Riley 0]

aye,i was always gonna tell ya,just had to say the obvious 'im not telling bit' :lol:

 

cough - duostyling air/fuel gauge - cough :mad:

 

snipped the wire from the gauge that runs to the lambda probe and bang!problem instantly gone! to say i couldnt believe it was/is an understatement...

 

anyway,i took it out of the dash and sort of looked at it (holding back,trying not to turn it into many little pieces) but plugged it back in and...it works properly now :? reads diffarently to what it did before and no running problems :!:

:thumbleft:

 

It was a bit of a saga! glad it's sorted now and you're a bit happier with the car :lol:

 

Looking sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet too.

 

BTW..what did you use on your tailpipe?

[Riley 0]

yeah,could say i dont hate it half? as much now... :lol:

 

i just used autosol on the tailpipe m8 :thumbleft:

 

edit:just dug out my receipt for the rado...ive had it for just over 12 months! and i havent started to like it yet :lol:

[bcstudent 0]

lol...I'm glad you sorted the problem. It's a beautiful car chap.

I've got a spreadsheet detailing all of my costs for it - in the past 15 months i've already spent near double the initial cost of the car on restoring/upgrading it...

[Walesy 0]

Always the same with me too, I spend twice as much on paying for it to be done up :cuckoo: :lol:

:wink: hope you took care of the door cards mate

[Riley 0]

Holy Bling!

looking good riley! if you need any misc black plastic i might be able to help mate.

[Riley 0]

cheers bill 8) think ive got absolutely everything bar some good speaker grills and a nice black carpet.

 

got a carpet but its nowhere near as good as the current grey one :(

 

really looking forward to changing the dash...not :lol:

[Riley 0]

how much will i be paying for good speaker grills and a good carpet?

 

if its silly money ill paint the grey grills and dye the feckin carpet :lol:

[gaz the geezer 0]

hello Riley, i`ve got a good black carpet and speaker grilles/pockets, fancy doing a swop as i`m after the grey stuff pm sent

[Riley 0]

hi m8 :)

 

can you manage pics of the carpet? it has to be mint to replace my mint grey one thats all...also,are the speaker grills mint? no broken clips?

 

cheers,neil.

[Riley 0]

managed a bit more today... :)

 

although the black boot carpets dont feckin fit :mad:

 

before:

 

half way through:mess!

 

had to modify my parcel side sections to take the 6x4's like i did with the grey ones... :!:

 

nearly done! :D

 

nice oem look 8)

 

and after a bit of fecking about,seats/rear cards/trim/front trim over doors/parcel shelf sides swapped over :D need to cover my silly shelf again to match,and then think about the front seats/carpet/dash :shock:

 

 

ps:anyone got one of the metal plates that sits behind the grab handle above the door?

 

crap pic,but shows the nice black front door cards/rears etc,and silly shelf

neil.

[Riley 0]

as always,not a massively original or over exciting update but...

 

i threw the black dash in along with handbrake surround etc...

just need to sort the dash shelves/carpet/front seats and my rear shelf now :)

 

[g60greeny 0]

likin the 6x9s 8)

 

:oops: ****was tired meant 6x4s***** :D

[was8v 0]

nuts - you weren't tempted by a late dash then?!

 

For the record my alpine 6x4s fit in the standard enclosures without mods.

[Riley 0]

likin the 6x9s 8)

 

6x9's? greeny? you mean the 6x4's? :oops:

 

nuts - you weren't tempted by a late dash then?!

 

For the record my alpine 6x4s fit in the standard enclosures without mods.

 

nah,i like the early dash,the sliders remind me of the mk1 :lol: just not keen on the round heater control knobs on the late dash.

was good,allowed me to really tidy wiring up/reroute stero/afr wiring into original clips etc

 

my 6x4's wouldnt go in without mods,not too much feckin about though! oh and the original speakers will go straight back in and secure correctly! :D

 

neil.
