Smoke!
-
i might take it to my mates yard as he has air powered impact tools that i may be able to use. but that can wait until another day now. :?
-
indeed, first thing you gotta do is find a way to get up here and have this exhaust and have a stab at your smoking addiction
-
probably will do this weekend mate. i dont mind the smoking so much, its getting beaten by crappy little cars that annoys me the most pmsl. i hate the hesitation i have
-
Im home from 1.30pm this coming friday and then all weekend too
-
cool i finish at 1.30 on friday too but i dont know what shift the misses is on, if she is on a late then it will probably be saturday or sunday mate
-
sounds good to me fella
-
heya mate, just had a call from my nan and i defo wont be able to make it on friday as its the funeral day. will probably be sat or sun
-
no problem mate, sorry to hear that someones past away, if you dont wanna do it next weekend then maybe the weekend after, but thatll be my last weekend here before we move
-
should be ok for the weekend bud, dont worry.
-
Ok, so i thought that my smoke problems had gone away, until yesterday…..
I thought i should check the oil as it has been about a month since i filled it up.
To say it was dry as a bone would be an understatment. I went to buy some from halfrauds and they happened to be SHUT!! so i popped to asda to pick some up. unfortunately all they had was 10/40 which had to do as i was running almost dry. they only had 2l of this oil left which i bought and put in the car. which took my oil level to BELOW the min line. why has my car drank probably about 4l of oil in 1 month!
I know the engine is dying but at this rate it is going to cost me as much in oil as it does in petrol!
-
lol is it a 2 stroke, just put 50-1 in the tank each time lol, I would say f*ck it and stick the cheapest stuff possible in there every month, look on ebay for comma oils, thats about as cheap as they get
-
yeah I have a good supplier of comma oils called trago mills ;) that seems to be all they stock. I am using asda at the mo. will be defo looking for a good 2.5 soon. does anyone have a klde for sale?
-
I really wanna go to that Trago Mills place, everyone in cornwall spazzes out about it and how it has everything, but I never think about it when Im down there! :(
-
the one in devon is better than the cornwall one, well recommended :wink:
-
yeah the newton abbot one has go carts and everything ;) yeah i would say they sell just about anything that you could possibly want, except a cold drink!!!!! you would have to go to the extremely overpriced newsagents next door to get a bottle of extremely overpriced squash lmao
-
wheres the one in devon? I only know theres one near plymouth
-
the devon one is the newton abbot one mate. the one near plymouth is only a few miles from me which, funnily enough, is right near where the engine change will be taking place, in st neot. trago itself is on the glynn valley about 3 miles from st neot ;)
-
so the newton abbot one is the biggest?
-
yeah it is massive up there bud. I would recommend that one over the cornwall one ;)
-
got the new dizzy and rotor arm (thanks keith ;)) and had a few mins to spare today so got them fitted. all works well but the hesitation is still there. i think i may have to take it to mazda to get the codes read because i am just needlessly spending money now lol. it could be that the timing has slipped or something (belt was due about 2000 miles ago :cry: ) I will try to sort out this 2.5 asap now as the 1.8 is taking the piss lol.
will the 1.8 throttle body fit the 2.5 engine (even if it is restricting it and only as a temporary measure)
