Car wont start!!!
-
Havent finished it yet.
Had to get a new hydraulic ram for it as well. i wanna start it without the cover, alternator belt and power steering belt. should it still start? i am charging the battery as we speak and gonna try it later. dont wanna get my hopes up again. but i wanna try it without the belts. am i being stupid???
thanks for all your help so far guys!
-
right, i put the alternator belt on without the casing for the timing belt. nothing else for that matter. just the alternator belt and its tensioner. it starts now… but dies after a second.
it wont stay on. is this cos nothing else is on?
makes a little metallic rattling noise, but could be cos the tensioner isnt on securely.
-
attached the alternator to the car, barely, and it lives! so i'm really happy with this! gonna put it all together properly tomorrow and then its finally finished. well, touch wood!
thank for all your support and help through this!
if anything else goes wrong tomorrow i'l post again!

mines only a stock mx-3 post '95. i hope she doesnt feel too inferior with the other cars there!If I can get the equipe on the road before then I will be taking her to japfest and she does look like a shed of sh*t with all her dents + scratches but I have found from talking to my local mazda dealer that the one I have is very unusual and has the display model spec but it looks poop at the moment lol

i'm sure it doesnt look that bad!
mine running now. just got a few minor things to do:- fit a front fog
- change a switch for the blowers
- passenger side window works, but not well, so gotta take it apart and see whats wrong!
when is japfest?
i looked on the forum, but, it could be me being stupid (or reading on a few paintball forums at the same time), i couldnt see the date for it.
i would be interested to go and see what its like!
