the first post it says on the search is something about a speedo convertor, but i dont think that was my first post. Funnily enough I was thinking of starting this very thread just a few days ago.

because white randomly scatters light, mirrors reflect light only in the same plane. Its all to do with the way the light is absorbed and re-emmitted by the material, very very complex stuff, I couldn't give you a better answer, ill ask my physics teacher tommorrow :)

has it always not started. When did it start not starting, did you do anything to it? You say you have an n/a. Do you have TT spark plugs in it? I can't see how this would cause the problem if it will start from a push start, but its worth a look, seeing as you can only get TT's in this country.

coolant temp sensor m8. Check the harness.

if the car runs then theres nothing wrong with the injectors, nor the coilpacks, PTU, CAS. I can't think of anything, have you checked the coolant temp sensor/harness? Very slight chance it could be that, but ive never heard of a bad temp sensor stopping the car from starting.

yeah, good point, is the fuel pump pressurising the system when you turn on the ignition?

actuallt the jap ones measure in 100mmHg, 700mmHg is equivelent to about 14psi.

no, they did but it went offline ages ago.

electric choke wont be a problem, it doesnt have one :p, all done by the ECU, only mechanical part to it is the idle air valve, does it fire up if you hold the throttle wide open? Are you sure the battery isnt the culprit?

i got that one too, annoying, isnt it ;)

im deffinatly liking it a lot better in these pics, preferring it to the old one now, looks pretty damn good. Neat pics btw, overhead shots are alays good :p

yeah, you should fill the radiator up, not the expansion tank. Sounds like you may have blown out the head gasket(s).

you got any coolant left in it?

LMAO :D

if you pay for membership yes :D

looking good m8 i was in two minds to begin with, but its grown on me.

i cant see how any amount of airflow is going to cool that down enough so it isnt glowing:confused:

i second this one, Macca is very helpful on here, ive called him in the past when i have a problem and he is always keen to help out. Also his credit deal is fantastic ;) I think it was 3 months after he bought me a set of pads to when he was paid, and even after all that time he moaned at me for paying him 2 quid too much :D However, im not an ass licker so im not gonna slag off Glen, he also has done some good stuff for all of us here, but the contsant Z slagging on a Z site gets very monotonous :rolleyes:

maybe its not such a bad thing, my cd drives didnt work after doing this, had to reboot my machine :(

the cd/dvd drives come open

LOL :D

lol, yeah im guessing you can change the error messages easily on the mail server, that is taking the piss a bit though.

i used to play, i got up to 8 million then they dropped me back to 10000 and i stopped playing cos its too boring playing with only a 5 figure number :p

having no engine/box, this must be the most important feature of the car lol :D Looking awesome, shame about the h/l panel being off Im especially liking the way peter has blended the skirts into the arches

disc-at-once eh? Ill have to try that one, its only audio cd's, i can burn data cd' at 52x no problems at all. From what ive seen audio cd's cause problems on most high speed writers, using proper audio cd-r's helps the problem though, but at a price!
