sorry mate im busy thursdy night workn and Friday im goin out mountain biking with the canadian (2lt_Scort knows him) anyway, all im good for is moral support, my experise is lost on cars, but ya bike i can fix....

hey i got a challenge for ya!!!!!

can you get the car running and reliable before 50 pages


im sayn no whitewalls...

Rhys

Since you have the old dizzy back in get it running fuel only first. Get the laptop connected and get the hang of how it all works.

If the car isn't running with fuel only, or the laptop isn't connecting a different dizzy isn't going to solve anything. It will only introduce more possible places for there to be errors.

andrew

ps. My vote is for no whitewalls

What about red walls[%]

no idea why the comp isnt connecting on fuel only, but it works when i go fuel and spark.

the car wont start and i can't get it to start on points, got it once but that musta been a fluke cause she aint starting now......thats why i figured get it going with spark as elec is alot more reliable, easy than pissing round with points all night?.....

Glenn, hahaha doubt that is gonna happen, i can see the next few pages full of, why wont it start kinda poo poo......haha

cheers

leave the white walls to me. so i can be the only Escort with them in SA (that ive seen). i think there is enough white on your car as is.

Lucas,
Are you forgetting the original? 'Granny'? She's still wearing whitewalls and getting around up north. Also my mate put whitewalls (double white line) on his 2dr Mk1 few years back also and the guy he sold it to still has them on. It lives over Trott Park way.

You've got healthy competition

Rhys

only my opinion, but if a car really can pull of white walls it needs chrome and stockies (original wheels) not mags or colour coded or black bumpers.....
so in saying that cars from b4 the 80's seem to suit them better....
id love to run white or red walls on mine but i dont run the bumpers... if i ran the bumpers and they were chrome it would be all original, and i recon the walls would suit...

but like i said this is just my opinion... if u like em do it!!!!

i never seen that 2 door mk1 from trott park please tell me more Rhys?

nah not gonna do em got bigger problems...........

that ive seen.

wats the bigger problems Rhys.

the fact that the dirt bag in my shed isnt co-operating!haha yeh im spending any extra time i get on trying to fix my dizzy, i just tore off the old lock strips, those silver things and went to rare spares and i can't get them, so now i am left with a ugly looking gutter...........freak!!!!![:(!][:(!] any one know where i can get some? the guy at rare spares said i coudlnt get em anywhere???

cheers
Rhys
