If it spark related it could be the power transistor on the N/S front inner wing, coil packs or CAS...

Well before i was getting compression and i could smell fuel after turning it over, makes me thing spark.

Ill have a look at the transistor tommorow.
Ill need a set of coil packs to test.
The CAS wires look fine, its one of the things i checked.

Do you think youd be free to come round one day to have a look?

Maybe later tomorrow afternoon - I have spare coilpacks, a spare transistor and spare CAS. If the CAS Has failed its likely to be the unit itself rather than the wiring...

After having the none running problem, which was down to many factors all adding up (shit plugs, shit battery, shit ignition amplifier and too much fuel pressure) i finally got the car back.

It was great. I even went to Aberystwyth last wednesday and came home on sunday. It was epic fun on the slightly damp roads and i dont think ive ever enjoyed a drive so much. It never missed a beat though all they way and didnt use as much fuel as i was expecting.

Now its broke again, barely 2 weeks after getting it back. One of the brake hoses from the brake cylinder to the ABS unit has been kinked by a previous idiot and mustve eventually split with vibrations. Hopefully itll be fixed during the week but its just really annoying.

In the mean time Ive bought a fancy rev counter as the standard one has stopped working (common S14 problem) and as its likely to go again if i resolder the circuit anyway, i dont see the point of repairing it, so im fitting my new one on the cowling infront of the original counter. Pictures when fitting. Its a bit like the one i had on the RS turbo only far far better quality and not a cheapo ebay special.

I feel your pain with all these problems dude... and Im sure Spinking does as well raftl

No bigger feeling of relief than when everything works perfectly.
Only problem with the brakes, such an easy and simple fix...but one thats pretty vital to the car frown

Youll ave it sorted soon dude.. Nay worry happy

Thought id update before i go to bed innit.

I managed to get a pipe off a lad whos breaking his 14a. chris came over and fitted it but it wouldnt bleed. Turns out my master cylinder seals have gone but i couldnt tell at first because the brakes werent bled because of a dodgy nipple and shite weather. If got brakes now but theyre not brilliant so i wont use teh car unless necesary but at least i can use it now.

Trying to get hold of a second hand cylinder or if needs be, a rebuild kit.

Chris is going to do some wiring for me too and then its MOT time and probably a massive bill for repairs, as usual.

If its not a massive bill then i have a short list of bits im after such as a T28r/rs and 550cc injectors. I could sell my current T28 and 480cc (S15) injectors to cover some of the costs then i could push for around 340-370bhp, as dscussed with chris, the region before gearbox failure can be a probem. So instead of 400bhp ill be happy with 360bhp. Ive found a little ducktail spoiler i want too.

As usual though, ill probably change my mind and not do anything ive suggested above.

Ahhhh...so youve found your spoiler mate. Least youll leave mine alone then raftl

At least you know the problem with your brakes. Nothing worse not knowing what something is. Just gotta work towards getting it all done now.

Youll be getting there happy
