there's a silver one always parked at the genesis gym in south, and there was a black one but the guy had a accident in it, and ive seen another black one only once though.
barinas are ok hahah my misses just got one, fun to zip around in but defiantly on the slow side.

Yeah no need to tell me it is slow. Going from turbo to that has saved my wallet but it is so slow and handling is not ideal on it and if i mod it will be a major waste of money. I am currently keeping my eyes peeled for something that ticks the boxes of daily, NA and okay on parts and everything. I have been a fan of FTOs since i was 11 but, other cars are also in the price range which are newer. If i see you round melton i will throw a beer can at you and say hi

still having engine drama's.

at first thought it was the coils but i checked and measured against spec, then to be 100% i check to see if all the leads and coils were arching and they all were.

i think it may be a fuel delivery problem maybe a blocked injector? i put some injector cleaner through but no improvement so far. could there be a electrical missfunction with the injector? or maybe a clogged fuel filter? running out of ideas thought havent checked error codes as of yet will do soon.

Yeah error codes then fuel filter. Also recently had to change coilpacks as they were arching thru the plastic pretty funny lol.

I could see it by looking at nighttime with no lights on and starting the car.

I had misses and eventually lost spark to one or two cylinders, still hit mivec though :lol: ;)

UPDATE

had a small problem with coils now fixed, purchased coils form dwayne.

finally started on changing the bumper and wiring of lights.


.wire in fog lights - but they are hids and i have to get some ballasts for them so that is put on hold.

.angle eye on fog light wired to parkers- that was really easy just spliced into the parkers power and ground, and soldered, and shrink wrap and tapped it to the wiring harness so its all in one piece.

.wire in new indicators - started that but blew the fuse, so will finish tomorrow with plenty of spare fuses.

.relocate, parkers from fog-light to headlight - ive modded one headlight and siliconed a bulb holder from the fog light that i mutilated to get it out, still have to wire it all up.

.put on bumper - long way away yet.

not sure what hole to put the indicators in, inside or the out side

was thinking indicators on the outside and foggies on the inside.

Perhaps he needs to angle his eyes towards a dictionary.
