M8 of mine being offered this + cash for his pulsar. Looking to know if its been used and abused? Well looked after? Was going to post in regional but dont know which region this comes under (excuse my geography lol) Any pointers well appreciated Cheers Gary

Right folks, As most of you may be aware, I am selling my scooby. I understand that due to the credit crunch and all that jazz, that this is possibly not the best time to be selling my pride and joy. So, that bourne in mind, I have an idea. My idea, I am looking for a price in the region of £3000. This, when devided by 15, equals 200. So, I am thinking of raffling my car. £15 a ticket, 200 tickets, one lucky swine that gets my scoob for £15. Obviously there are rules etc, such as I would not hold the raffle until I had enough to cover a price I was happy with and I would hold the draw, if it went ahead, under some sort of adjudication. What I need is some ideas, Is this a good idea? I think it is quite a good plan, given the current financial climate. Just need to know if I could get 200 tickets shifted. Ideas?

for some reason my central locking seems to be possessed! as I am driving along, or jacking the car up, it seems to just randomly lock and unlock. I have had a look at the driver side door but cant see any loose wiring etc. this is murdering my battery and pissin me off as all the doors seem to be locked most of the time. any suggestions?

Just got my 4 pots off Willie25, lookin good on my 93 JDM. Was furious when I fitted them though, bloody wheels fitted no worries, but wouldnt turn!! The curve on the alloy was jamming against the caliper! FUME!! So after a 40 mile round trip to collect the calipers, I had to go on another 40 miles round trip to get 5mm spacers. They on now and lookin sweet. Shame I cant take it for a test burn, no bloody battery power! grr!

pics added

bloody brake pads came today, got the back ones on no problems at all. then the front...... the inside pad doesnt want to go on and the outside one, although goes on no problems, seems about 3mm too wide for the caliper! grrr could the caliper issue be that I have not yet depressed the pistons fully? any suggestions lol? Oh, 1993 classic GC8 btw, standard calipers. Pic of caliper closed Pic of caliper open Pistons both flush This is the confusing bit. Does this slide or does the bolt next to the painter part of caliper uncsrew. If it slides its seized, but going by the look of it, doesnt look like it would slide, suggestions? The last pic, the small bit of metal on the left at the very end has a small 3 mil dia rubber thing in it, does this need taken out etc?

ITS ALIVE!!! A quick fit of the crank sensor, badda bing, badda boom, engine started! more than happy, little bit more power due to the 98 engine as apposed to the 93, slightly more torque as i lost my AC system. Really dont feel like sellin it no more lol.

fuel not drained, and its the same optimax that was in it before (101 a litre stuff ) I will crank it til the pressure light goes, cant wait for the posty! feel like a little kid lol

roger! the crank angle sensor that was SUPPOSED to be delivered today should be here am tomorrow. (next day delivery my a***) so hopefully tomorrow

no fuel been in the system for about 6 months. Been advised i should crank the engine with the spark plugs disconnected (to allow fuel to get through the injectors and into the system) then re apply the sparks to get a light. this good advice or rubbish? Can i just reconnect the lot n it will eventually feed fuel through after a few 20-30 second bursts?

crank angle sensor on the way from API Warwickshire, nippy at 70 quid (bloody early version ones, hens teeth n all that), but worth it none the less. Should be coming tomorrow, so here is hoping that tomorrow I will be able to post a sound file of the beast put putting away, unless another loving problem presents itself.

been told that spark plugs can 'die' is this right? if so I may need to renew them, Oh, aye I need a crank sensor, wont be running it for any length of time, simply a 30 second run to see if its starting, crank will be en route soon as im paid lol

came out today, left the condenser in for now, will discuss taking it out with next buyer.

After 4 and a half hours of tearing my hair out today, I completed my build up. I think everything is in correct places(:S) , only problem being the beast wont start, starter motor is turning but its not firing up. Fuel filter is going all cold which would suggest fuel is getting into it, so I am a bit scoobied (excuse the pun). Might be something to do with the fact its been idle for 6-7 months with no engine in it, but will keep you all updated. G (meanwhile any suggestions to fix are more than welcome!)

Do you need to install any kind of pulley? or is it simply a case of disconnecting the pump and removing the belt? Had to buy a new pulley etc in my GT4, so thought best to ask? Cheers
