You wanting to get rid already

have to say Dave ,that boost controller is cool as feck

Nah tony, but i wouldnt mind an RB'd S13.

Ive just ordered a new skidbrake button so thatll be going on soon, plus, when i get round to them, my 6x9's, amp and sub.

I went for a drive before to get fuel and a little drive about, and the car felt fine but it wasnt boosting. At first i thought bugger, boost leak / manifold crackage going on. But it was staying stoich and everything seemed fine, just no boost until like 4000rpm. Turns out id accidentally turned the boost controller to B mode, or slow mode, so everything was truned down and making a frankly homosexual 8psi. I had a look on t'interweb and i know enough about how to work it now without blowing anything up. But to be honest, me and boost controllers dont go, never been able to understand HKS ones so its best i dont play, especially considering theres a scramble mode.

Here you go mate...full instructions...actually quite easy to use..

Nice one chris. Ill keep that link, but as i said, its best i dont play.

I was bored before so ive been playing again.

Took that ugly big plastic thing off the front that holds the number plate then remounted the plate. Put a few more ties on the bumper too to support it more, and relocated the cold air feed so it doesnt sit wonky anymore.

Not worth taking a picture of really, tbh not even worth mentioning but im still bored.

Found a few sets / pairs of nice wheels knockign about, at much lower prices then expected. Im not going to buy loads of wheels this time, just one extra full set, and a few pairs, but all nice wheels. Im trying to sort something on a set of wheels that i personally love so ill update soon on that front.

I was on the way to pick up some rotas on friday when it cut out on me at a set of lights. Then it was really badly misfiring, and now ive got it home it wont even start.

Im not speaking to it at all now. Might get a can of petrol and a lighter to sort it out......

Have you checked the plugs - if they are all black and sooted up it will be a boost leak and it wont restart as the plugs are too sooted up - if you want a fresh set of eyes to have a look - gimmie a shout

The plugs have been checked, seemed ok.

I havnt had a boost leak i dont think. My A/F ratio gauge has been reading spot on, and i watch that like a hawk all the time.

Got your PM. I might be interested in your coilpacks to eliminate those though.

Unlucky mate

you tried the list of things we discussed the other day mate????

I havnt touched it mate, not interested. If i start touching stuff when im not in the mood then stuff breaks.

Ill wait till im in the mood.

Ive put a little post on SX to see if anyone has anymore suggestions.

bring it down to mine mate,off FRI,SAT SUN...

...dont think its drivable Chris, Ive also offered to have a look.

Nah, it wont even start now.

Either of you are welcome to come down if you have the free time. Any time at all. Itd be appreciated.

Im charging the battery up now because ive been trying to start it. But when its been turning over it seems to fire once and then stop and intermittently fire now and then.

Ive had a look at as much wiring and sensors i can see and they seem ok.

My engine check light had lit up twice within 20 minutes of it cutting out. It was under heavy braking and i only saw a glimps in the corner of my eye and thought it was ABS. Had a look before and the ABS light is on the other side. Any ideas?

Do you reckon its worth checking coilpacks aswell?
