awesome ive been doing it for about 3 hours each night after work most nights this week and im nearly there just niggles, and motivation dropping off lol.

re: the starter relay department. im understanding that i pop the wheel well liner off the drivers side and the relay is there, the two wire of the correct colours are simply cut out and spliced together shorting out the relay? and enabling you to start the car in any gear you wish.

that just confused me further i dunno what the hell is going on with all these vac pipes.

Done the drivers side i believe, i disconnected it all and hooked the boost sensor to the balance bar, where the aiv was connected. the passenger side is confusing me slightly though. i assume the little sensor there is the aiv as it goes into the wing. just dunno what to do to the connections. the only guides ive found are us ones so things are in diffrent places which my brain cant handle right now lol.

did you resolve this baz?

all sorted now cheers guys. next hurdle will soon arrive im sure.

cheers bazzer all sorted now, found a local source lol :)

As above cars in bits half way through conversion. and there missing! Cant go any further forward and I need the job done sooner than later. Please help.

Any tips on installation of the clutch pedal pulling my hair out here.

Fairly sure thats owned by a member

welcome, you will notice a big difference from the mx5 different beast altogether. if you find one within dorset let me know il more than happily pop along at poke it about. had you decided on a set model or colour etc? later models have a few extra desirable bits and less issues. japanese imports are often cleaner ie less rust but if its been in the country a fair while a negligible thing, some insurance companies will charge more as im sure your aware. good luck, dont rush finding one.

i was on holiday when this came up but i replaced all my high pressure lines on mine last summer. so coulda done that for you pretty quick.

Cant rember which line the pcv vents into but thoertically it could be spitting oilout the bov.

Bushes are 80 each, most lock out bars utilize them so removal willstill require replacing them and the arms if faulty. The drift works kit is 200 but replaces the entire unit. Personally the feeling of the rear floating scares me as does the over correction on oversteer.

Sounds like theyre building up to get themselves out the shit to me.

Gizmo has had good reviews. Competitly priced too

does your have that ridge in it?

did the overboost redisture (or however you spell it) or because of the fact it was only on one bank did it not show very clearly.

my inlaws have one which i borrow occasionally, really nice little cars esp with the heated front screen. well built feel solid even with high miles. my only critisim is the gera knob in theres feels horrid everytime you change simply because of the shape of it.

sorry so basically the turbo actuator has remained jammed allowing the turbo to overboost? and melt the piston crown? i bet your sick of that bloody engine now anrt you? i suppose if they teste dthem and certified them and its cause dthe damge could you potentially forward to cost to them of the rebuild? if your coming back down to turbo technics which i beleive isnt far from me? in dorset. give me a shout you can pop in for a brew if you want mate.

with all the wet we have have, its quite possible. it runs fine with the afm's disconnected? thats a pretty sure sigh its a afm issue. mine did the same a while back it just got worse and worse until teh car wouldnt start.

i dont think it will be the relay itself at fault, probally more of a switch related matter. ie it cannot decide wether the switch is open or closed. disconnecting the relay simply disables the ability for the aircon to engauge. the ecu increases the base idle when the aircon is turned on or off to compensate for the extra drag caused by the aircon compressor engauging. realistically if that isnt the cause of the fault ie the aircon not engauging disengauging properly and causing you to bog down or run high, (makes sense really as the numbers of increae you were reffering to would be about right.) you may have an air leak issue which is worth checking or as already sugested an air metering issue, idle control valve or throttle position sensor faluts.

do you think is is relate dto your rev issue it would make sense. try disconnectiong the air con relay in the main relay box. see if the rev issue remains

You were lucky ryan, my mrs is applying left right a centre what is it you do?

Ud be very lucky on a zed my capri was on classic when I was 21 but the zeds a little more of an animal.
