    sounds similar to what mine did after it stood for ages, except it went bang when it cut out. we tried the relay which did have dry joints but no luck

    alright lads, I wish I still had as much patience as you guys! Ive still done nothing to my celica and Ive had it since november! I could do with some new wheels though, these ones are flatted

    hi guys thanks for all your advice, I looked at a new dizzy but couldnt get one cheap. I got the new cap but never fitted it, in fear that it wouldnt work and i might make it worse. so as i had already got new car decided to sell with the problem. i have a brand new distributor cap here now if anyone wants it cheap!

    alright paul, glad to hear the civic is running sweet. the dizzy must have helped loads just being in better condition overall, but I always believed these cars thrived on fresh oil too! I think the dizzy was cream crackered on mine before i sold it. after standing in the cold i took her for a run and she started misfiring whilst driving , then when it got hot it would cut out with a rather loud bang (like a gunshot the neighbours came out) and a cloud of unburnt fuel came out the exhaust. I do miss her though the heavy noisy beast!!!

    hi guys ive ordered a new distributor cap for this cutting out when hot problem. after reading various forums im starting to worry that it may need a whole new distributor. any ideas? cheers

    Cheers guys I will have a look over the weekend. First thing I thought was give her a blast, I might try blasting it from cold coz she dies if I let her get to temp first, not great but u never know it might help.

    Yo dude sorry. which problem u referrin to? Ok car starts and runs revs up fine when cold, ok till she gets hot, then as soon as I rev her she misfires and dies. then won't restart till cold. I've tried wd40 on plugs n leads n dizzy but no luck. Any ideas guys?

    I think its from the bottom corner of the head gasket on the dizzy side, but it doesn't leak badly at all.

    He turned up today whilst she was running. I read my messages wrong and didn't think he was comin til tomorrow. He spotted a little oil leak I didn't declare in the ad and decided he didn't want it.
  12. scottravenhill
    She started first time today and drove fine, idled for 10 mins then wouldn't restart 20 Mins later. Think she's just a little damp. Nothing WD shouldn't sort out fingers crossed

    When I first got mine the windscreen trim was loose at the bottom by the bonnet hinge, when I eventually got the screen replaced, the aperture was all rusty underneath. Check your seals before its too late! Haha. (chances are its not this ofcourse)

    So you're getting your lip sprayed! That sounds a bit wrong haha! 63 pages Mr knight, that's one hell of a lot of moddage! Hmmm I think I might get my lip done too .... Sorry am bored.
  15. scottravenhill
    Cheers dude I'll check it out. I'm amazed this car has done 132k and not a spot of oil anywhere, touch wood! I got used to moppin up after the civic after it squeezed the odd wet one out!

    I'm tryin to convince myself it was water in the intake with all the puddles n rain and not the redex. I only put 1/8 of a bottle into about 1/5 of a tank. Ur supposed to put 1/8 into 50 litres.
  17. scottravenhill
    So the guy was coming tomorrow to buy her so thought I would give her a run. Started first time but took a few secs to idle properly. Put a splash of redex in. Drove her round the block twice and then let her idle for a bit. Turned her off and on a few times, pressin.g the throttle inbetween to try and stop the cable sticking. ( it was closing a little slow) took her for another run and she started going down on power when I renamed it, before vtec. Drove her back, let her idle and she kept popping now and again. Turned off engine and tried to restart, starter turns and she coughs, and again. Then bang, like a gunshot, the neighbours were lookin. I went and fetched 5 litres of fuel in case the redex was too strong but to no avail. Currently she is dead. not good.
  18. scottravenhill
    Polished and waxed, she was a bit cold so that just condensation u can see in places.
  19. scottravenhill
    Yeah sounds more like the then, the civic has a lot more torque tho, its only 133 in this.
  20. scottravenhill
    Dunno what a k20 is like haha. A b18 to me is like smooth vtec but this is like a big lift all in one go.
  21. scottravenhill
    X2 Thats what I was meant to ask its much more pronounced, u get it all at 6k so feels like it pulls more
  22. scottravenhill
    I've never had a coupe before so its feelin a lot different to the civic! It does make you feel so proud! Haha
  23. scottravenhill
    hi john, i was lookin at the x type, 2.0 v6 sport, as u can pick them up for less than 2 grand. i bet its proper luxurious, just thought they might be a bit thirsty lugging all that weight around so I gave it a miss.
  24. scottravenhill
    Yeah it wasn't lowered but had mg suspension but I don't think they were zs ones, conning b*****ds!
  25. scottravenhill
    Nope that's not mine! Don't think she will be gettin lowered, wana steer clear oflittle squeaks n rattles here n there! N I'm likin not having to be weary of speed bumps!
