  1. Gave it a go today and discovered the battery has gone flat, will pick up a new one this weekend as the one in there atm is god knows how old
  2. Currently working with the guy I brought an ignition switch off to get the correct part He resent me what he had listed and was the same as the first one I brought Any idea how I find the build date?
  3. Ledgend :) appricate it Seems tracking down the right ignition switch is a pita
  4. If I wanted to bypass the ignition switch what wires do I need to wire upto a toggle switch for on and then a push button for start
  5. Went to install it sat to discover I had been sent the wrong one Emailed the ebay vendor and have arranged to send it back
  6. Replaced the ballest resistor last weekend no change Brought a brand new ignition switch which ill put in on sat If that doesnt work then ill have to play with the ignition barrel and metal shaft that goes through the steering column
  7. Thought it might be the ballest resistor but doesnt seem to be ( I bypassed it with the same issue) Probably needs replaced anyway so will get a new one might also buy a new switch as the one from pickapart might be faulty Sigh I hate electrical issues
  8. Seems the car starts and stays on if I hold the key forward a little from the on point but then I let it go and it aligns on the on position it kills the engine. Does this with no ignition installed or with the starter switch unbolted Got a new starter switch from pickapart and same issue Any thoughts ? Have tried realigning the starter switch to the ignition barrel and no change Tried taking the ignition barrel out and starting with a screw driver but the switch doesnt start far enough forward :S
  9. I have RA40 steering arms as well ;)
  10. Cheers got them with thres for a great price Needs lowering I think, way too boatlike atm
  11. Managed to install Central locking today, however it only works off the remote atm so need to work that out. Waiting on steering rack boots to arrive Installed my gktech steering wheel and SASS boss kit only to have to realign it and strip a bolt and damage a few things so will need a new horn button, cover and probably most importantly bolts (stainless I think) Still waiting on a few parts, hope to take it for a RWC next Sat all going well :) and then need to sort some insurance Managed to get once banjo bolt at pickapart today as well as a full set of window winders, (broke one today :( ) Drove her to pickapart and back on a rego exemption as I needed to charge the battery and work a few things out, idle is a little rough so will look into adjusting that
  12. So my exhaust to manifold cold start hose thing is catus anyone know where I get a replacement ?
  13. Hey All Picked up a stock as a rock AE71 csx in silver (little bit of surface rust which I am sanding back and killing slowly) she has 200k on the clock and is stupid clean apart from a few scrapes. Got it to teach my GF to drive in and for something to tinker on. Had a KE70 in my late teens that was full of rust (only cost me a 12pack of beer though haha) Haven't had a 4AC since my 88 corolla hatchback (ae92) think you call them seca's over here. Just getting it ready for a rwc atm Things to do are replace a cracked steering boot and the drivers seatbelt (new boots on the way and I have a spare belt, will send the orginal one to be refurbished) Have just put some bbs rims with new tires on. Still have the factory 13s and have a mismatched set of 14s for track use. Still need to pickup some good front tyres, any suggestions?? Only issue I have noticed so far is the brakes are crap (seem to have gotten them better with use) I have a pajero MC to go in and ra40 struts with brakes etc as well on the way. Other issue is she intermittently starts, not sure what the story is as I havent played with carbs in a long time Fuel is showing halfway up in the sight glass, and it revs on the starter motor but doesnt seem to keep running Could be the auto choke? (Fixed hadn't aligned the new ignition barrel properly when I replaced it and it moved to the off location when I let go of the key) Will have another play and see how I go, may have to look into an electronic dizzy swap. Have to keep the engine appearing factory for the GF when she goes on Ps Will post pics soon :) thanks for any help in advance Bbs rims need to get some centres and lock nuts Rims on the car, 15X6.5 +18
  14. Still going to order these rims next pay but managed to pick up some bbs rims with new tires for a price I couldnt say no too :) will start a build thread I think
