Wounded, any idea as to why she wont play?

[pie]

they dont call them Fix Or Repair Daily for nothing f lol

what was wrong with it ?

[blue_peg_16v]

It's being a woman started once loaded the fecking thing needs a proper set up, Dave was contemplating getting the axe out at the time though

i think its down to the map sensor co2 pot not getting its earth return to the ecu and running rough,im adamant the map sensor suppressor isnt letting the return signal through,

and obviously wants setting up fuel wise

[scott.parker]

I say drop an XE in lol

[pie]

looks good on the truck tho :)

[blue_peg_16v]

We looked lik a late 80s recovery firm lol

a b reg and a d reg truck lol
im sure thats the issue as the map sensor isnt accounting for the boost and the co2 wont adjust,im sure its te current return as they both sensors depend on it

Sounds very plausible after what we looked at on the net earlier, bet thebloke at art has it sorted in about 10 mins and is on to the setup on it

[blue_peg_16v]

Thoughs new doors were almost needed straight away.

And old woman "if in doubt flat out"

[davidfox280585]

Was it on the M62/M1 this morning? My mate at work said he saw a tidy RS Turbo on the back of a Transit on his way to work lol

I hope at least one of you was smoking to complete the 80's look lol

yes that was me,i was taking it to a.r.t engineers to be sorted as the guy there is mega!,
hes going to rolling road setup and general checkover
you know youve arrived at the right garage when there is engines and heads all over scattered everywhere,a recaro office chair and the sight of a mk2 escort with forest arches mid build, a ac cobra,rx7 with a giant turbo fitted and a 300zx on the rollers being setup lol

hes a very knowledgable guy and took a glance and replied no problem!
well chuffed its there just see what my bill comes back at

[blue_peg_16v]

Exactly how I knew I was in the right place first time I went to bogg bros at there old garage there were engines and **** all over the place, was well impressive seeing him set the carbs by ear then calling me over at the end when he went and got the balancing too out the tool box just to show me they were perfectly balanced awsome
