Well done Alan - very happy for you!

Now may I respectfully suggest that you...

DON'T DO IT AGAIN!!:naughty:

In order to achieve this, next time Marksman asks if he can take it for a test drive I think you should reply...

NNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Seriously though - congratulations :mrgreen:

Marksman

09-09-2006, 18:49

That's two to Lodge, none to Jiff...!

Well done that man. Can I break this one too now please?

Have fun, you've certainly earned it.

Owen.

Can I have another go might help inspire me a little more, never know the drive might encorage me to go buy an engine......................

oh wait thats already happened :)

Congrats Al, hope it goes betterfor you this time

Paul Woods

well done al! how does she drive? better/worse/same as before?

lodgeman

10-09-2006, 08:43

well she seems about the same ...... but i have only been out for a short run and i tried to keep it on the rev guage:whistle: oh and i did a sam and forgot to tighten the top susp mounts up:whistle: gonna do the afm and timing thing next after i sort the hesitation thing. just a question ? do i bridge those wires or do i cut and join them? stupid question i know but just wanted to make sure:thumbsup:

Paul Woods

10-09-2006, 08:55

do you mean supplying the P/Y Sp1 wire with 5v alan? yep take the P/Y wire and "T" it into the Blue/Red wire on the TPS plug,it emerges at the ecu end on one of the plugs,just T into that one,dont cut anything.

That will cure the hesitation,oh if your P/W wire on the N1 is connected to the P/Y Sp1 wire (i think it is!) then cut that before joining P/Y to 5v,any probs or if you are unsure give me a ring matey.

Paff

10-09-2006, 10:11

tis easy to find yours sam. Just gotta look for the biggest toyota storage yard in south wales :)

10-09-2006, 10:11

Great news Lodge, don't forget the oil!
Look in "V6 mr2 hesitation problem, a fix? " for a pic of the wiring as described by Paul. If you remember you asked me for a pic in that thread but then blew your engine up!! Touch wood, mine is still OK, off to the Mk1club NW area meet today. Wonder if I'll be sent home in disgrace?

Paul Woods

10-09-2006, 10:22

tricky sam but i reckon this is your gaff!

http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2006/09/72.jpg

well done al, look forward to seeing it again when your all sorted with stuff :thumbsup:

Marksman

10-09-2006, 11:06

No sorry Paul, guess again. You're looking for a house just about opposite a pub, with a bunch of MR2's in the front driveway...

Good luck.

Owen.

Paul Woods

10-09-2006, 11:18

ah! well if said pub is called the milton then yours must be one of these!!!!

Marksman

10-09-2006, 11:23

Ohh, getting warmer, and said pum is indeed the Milton. Sit on the Pub patio ovelooking the road, look 45 deg right and you'll be there!

superchargedsam

10-09-2006, 13:02

tis close paul but if you scroll up from that you will see the footings of a house, mine is actually not even at marked out footing stages on google earth at the moment ! thats pretty close though and there is now 3 huge speed humps on that road outside those houses !

Paff

10-09-2006, 14:10

find mine and theres my old sierra parked outside the house, crashed that in 2000 so they update the program regually by the look of it :)

Paul Woods

10-09-2006, 15:52

yeah i saw the footings sam,so thats a very old shot then!

superchargedsam

10-09-2006, 16:11

the footings are the house next door ! moved in xmas 2003 and it was a completed shell bu july 2003 so yeah very old shots ! Looks nothing like that picture now ! cant wait for new shots to be done and see what they do !

Paul Woods

10-09-2006, 16:31

superchargedsam

10-09-2006, 18:19

lol true ! and as we are not overlooked its something I do all the time ;) I am sure there is a pic on google earth somewhere of a rather amourous couple and sure I have seen a link on another forum before !

Paul Woods

10-09-2006, 18:44

superchargedsam

lodgeman

10-09-2006, 20:17

that must have been my old mk1 - didnt steal this one from sam till 2005:poke2:

here's some pics of the latest install:roll: really its only had a tidy up in the engine bay! i am not a great lover of seam sealer so i removed that from the top rail and with some filler and a bit of bad painting it looks a lot better!

changed the oil and filter again today! i originally used some mix of new oil that i had lying around with a new filter, so i drained that and put a new filter and some 5w40 sythetic in and its sounds so much better. oil pressure is slightly lower but runs better. i removed the lower heatshield bolt on the manifold nearest the rear of the car as well as it is quite close to the bulkhead and rubs when accelerating hard. wrapped the exhaust downpipes and fitted a capillary temp switch to turn on the engine bay fan. will post some pics later , but things are looking better!!
