marky.t.s

A bit of technical help required folks,the last 2 days when starting my car the engine sounded as if it was mis-firing when starting up from cold,a very lumpy tickover and a bit of popping.Then after about 5 mins warming up it ticks over as normal.If i try to move of before its warmed up there is very little throttle response,and it picks up and splutters a bit then will not increase in revs at all for a few minutes.

On opening the bonnet to check for anything obvious i was treated to a "fireworks "show of sparks dancing around the bolts on the ignition coil thingy.So i nipped over to Hypertech for Dunc to have a butchers,...."it looks like the coil packs goosed" i was informed..."you only get them at a main dealers"

So i was wondering if you can get this part from any where else cheaper than the "stealers",would this alone be the cause of my start up probs' as car runs fine after "warm-up".

And finally is this the right thing i need??, or is there anything else i would have to get,and is it just the 4 bolts on top and re-fit leads?

thats a relief......no more "what do you thinks wrong with this....." posts then J.W.

good thread Geo,i'll be looking at handling mods next year,its good to see where /what everything is.

oh btw mate,who refurb'd the wheels?.......and you fancy removing my resonator thingy?i'm crap at mechanics

lookin good now Craig,i'll keep an eye out for you so i can get a closer look.

Derek,better get that up on the R8 owners club for a quick sale.

Is it not the 24th? Aye, I might do that, take my camera with me and not use it like I do all the other times I take it.

24th it is ,oops.

See you there, looks like my track days are over for this year, car is never going to be ready for the last one of the year. Bummer. Ah well, will be back next year faster that before! Ha!

are you not going up for the banter on the 12 th ,i will.

Yeah right! That's why I have shafted three sets of pads, two sets of discs and now my freaking piston! £1500 repair bill!

only joking J.W....i'll mibbies go on track next year.

Well, if it gets t to the stage that its going to cost points, then screw that. I'm sure the cops wouldn't be that harsh and would at least give you a chance with a HORT1. No? It;s going to get to the point that points will be given for farting.

or for driving like a p...o..o ..f around knockhill.

ya jammy bandit dave!!! ........stop driving like a d...1..ck.or that golf guy will be back on.

great shots Dale.

we've got some excellent photographers among us

Imy!!,stop stealing my avatars ya little minx!!!!

thats a good one derek,i see the new MOT laws about reg plates was sneaked in this month,no more dodgy spacings like Mr.Welsh,or wee scooby-doo charactars,or fancy fonts......instant MOT failure now!!!.....well except for cars built before 2001....

get the tesco 99 into it and stop paying silly money for a ferrari badge on the pump.

crackin pics Dale,just to be nosey,what was the T.V. setting on the white sti close up with the light-trails,and what was the actual speed(on a private road of course),mind you this type of pic can be taken at very slow(5mph) speeds,was the camera mounted or hand held?
