  1. anyone heard of an auto-retard system on electronic dizzys?
  2. yeah thanks for that. i understand the reasoning behind the massive post |blink| i am aware of the vacuum advance and all of that. i have fuel, air, compression and spark. however, the story behind my deductive reasoning is that with the dizzy lined up with TDC (i.e. on the right tooth) and then retarded.... the thing starts. HOWEVER. it does run like crap and ONLY makes it to 1000rpm at full throttle.... BUT, when someone else adjusts the dizzy and advances it, it runs perfectly. but it wont start like that.... it definitely sounds like an advance issue of some sort.... and the vacuum advance is working. (diaphragm is ok) so if the 'auto-retard' system that someone mentioned does not exist, then I'm assuming it may still be the dizzy.... and the mechanical advance? or is there something else that people can think of?
  3. Gday guys, my AE82 died on me a few weeks back and after playing with it for quite a while, the only thing i can put it down to is the timing. now i heard somewhere that corollas have an auto-retard system? i havent been able to find any information on that at all. if anyone could give me any input into that that would be great. i really need my car back on the road |blink|

  5. tdz's for losers.... the motorkhana looked like fun....
  6. awesome. lol. well i may be able to find another one....... ok. ill spill.... I'm really bad with withholding information. adam, this ultratune thing was titled to a guy called ken, and had an address literally around the corner from me. i just talked to the guy that lives there now (he knows ken) and said that it DEFINITELY has a new clutch kit in it, and he reckons $1400 was spent on it. I'm willing to bet that they got the quote from ultratune because it was close, then got the work done elsewhere..... so i am REALLY REALLY hanging out to compression test cyl. 4!!! :) :( :)
  7. yep. gimme those 13" stockies and he can grab them right now if you want... other than that.... can i get a lift off someone for tomorrow? :) for slightly obvious reasons...
  8. WOAH! DUDE! don't do that!
  9. how bout i service it then? *serious idontgetf@$kedaroundbynoone face* on another note. adam, do you have a compression tester?
  10. standard is about 400mhz.... so 800mhz would be bloody good... and 4 gig is always good... cool. daven, cluster - as far as i know - is fine. lights etc still all good, ill get back to you when i know more 24*,***km i think on it
  11. well done andrew.... er... yes it is.... project whitestrike :)
  12. yes it is another AE82 this one.... and no one has claimed the bonnet. but where exactly are you located nowadays?

  14. oh. guess what. the white rolla i just bought USED to live around the corner from me :) lol. the one i have been eyeing off for a year saying i want it.... its now mine! lol darwins too small....
  15. nope. that wasnt me.... and bens silvia looks good now that we took off the bottom lip :) (apart from the fact that the whole car has been done very very dodgy. still no progress with my car :( whos got a compression tester i could use on the GE?
  16. i am puzzled by the line "those wheels are horny" correct me if I'm wrong, but it is not the wheels that are horny, it is the person stating that they are horny because of the wheels, correct? what would said persons wife have to say about that?
  17. er...... what 86?
  18. fair call. i understand that but eh. by the way adam, re: our conversation at clubhouse. the work was NOT done! :( I'm enjoying my mac. it can still do everything a pc can do... but then you can MAKE it a PC if you really really feel like it too :)
  19. PCs are good for one thing.... .... keeping daven in a job
  20. *sigh* adam... and you wonder why I'm not on here much
  21. oh bugger....
  22. I'm sorry... computer bits? (speaking of games... need to fix up my dedicated LFS and GTR2 computer :))
  23. yep. i knew he was selling it
  24. is that all you have to say about that? hey... it connects to a windows network better than a windows machine does... and yes... i do have xp on here too..... for when i may 'need' it my wireless works fine actually... i set that up about 6 months ago.... has all worked fine, even AFTER coming back from holidays. restart dads laptop and now it connects. why do you need to restart a computer for it to detect a wireless network that its been connecting to for more than 6 months?
  25. 3 out of our 5 PCs have had issues today alone. dads laptop wont connect to the wireless the family computer wont connect to the wireless dads computer wont print to its OWN USB PRINTER! where as all the other computers can print to it over the network.... and my mac is working sweet as always :)
