piccy's of my 2

Post by jonny823 »

bit of a story behind this
brought it off my boss on the off chance i could get it goin
when i got it . it wouldnt even turn over
so after a day of fiddling and messing with random stuff i managed to get it turning over so that was a bonus as ive tryed finding a new engine with no succses now i just had to get it started :( so after buying a new ripoff (toyota) dizzy cap and rotor i managed to get it to fire but still wont start so next fiddle took me back to toyota to get some iridium plugs with plugs fitted and first turn of the key and it fired up :mrgreen: \:D/ kept it running for a couple of min then it just died now it wont start again so bk to square 1 its got a good spark and fuel is there so gonna get my mechnic to see if the timing is out. as far as i know the mods on it are

tein shocks with edc
17inch wheels
hks turbo timer
hks bov
and the dyno read out witch says 198bhp@wheels so dont know if anything else has been done to it

Shame it won't start properly. Looks like a great example. I presume it's lowered by the looks of it?
