Yet another car
-
Well, not happy with it at all the lying tw*t
someone has tried ripping me off but I will get my money back plus more on this thingI was toldf the immobiliser was draining the battery and it was dead but will run with a jump start
Got it unloaded at 6.30am and the bloke told me he tried using a jump pack to start it but nothing would go
Lunchtime came along and I had a bit of spare time on my hands so looked into it further
Nothing electrical works with jump leads on it except the headlights, all fuses were good so got under the bonnet and found the 100amp main fuse had blown, when I tried to remove it it has welded itself into the block, not even destroying the fuse and using pliers could I get it outThere are 2 things to this, either therehas been a massive short and burnt out the fuse then once a new fuse fitted and battery charged it could just fire up or which I do hope its not is that the battery has been connected the wrong way round and destroyed everything :x
I have got a new fuse and had to get a new key as that was twisted like a corkscrew so when I get time I will have a crack at it tomorrow :wink:
anyway on the UP side of it all
The body is absolutely mint, no scratches or dents anywhere
Mazdaspeed front bumper YAY - no more buying cars in the future for parts (unless requested lol)
Set of 4 brand new alloys with tyres - still trying to find out make
Set of 4 Enkei Racing S split rim 15" alloys
1 x mazdaspeed MS01 alloy wheel with brand new snow tyre fitted :?
Brand new full length stainless exhaust system with 6x3 oval tail
mazdaspeed rear spoiler
jdm wind deflectorsSo if I cannot start it by next friday it will be stripped and scrapped and no messing, it owes me £415 now all in so anybody need parts make a list because I will gut this and get it towed if I find the electrics are fried
Anyway for sale already is the..
MS01 wheel
Enkei 15" split rims with 2 brand new tyres

Mate you know the 100 amp main fuse is not a pull jobbie like the rest?, it has a hole through the blades and a nut and bolt holding it in, no amount of pulling will get it out!. It's a easy job but you kinda have to dismantle the fusebox.
-
you know what I said that to the old man as he came down to look at it and was adamant it wasnt lol, will have a go tomorrow then hahaha, thanks garfy
-
Yeah I thought it was weird as I think there's a 80 that just pulls out. I stared at mine for ages lol! I changed mine as it was starting to corrode under the viewing plastic.
-
Won't it just fry the engine loom? I've wired my battery up to the car wrong so many times it's unreal. lol
-
wel replaced the main fuse today and its pretty mashed, the starter doesnt want to know it makes the clicking noise you get when its slightly flat but at about 20 clicks a second so theres a good chance its melted solid or siezed from lack of use, the interior light has melted the switch on permanently, you cannot turn it off unless you strip it and remove the bulbs, not even the door switches turn it off and when you try to start the engine, you turn the key back from the start position to usually ignition on and the cooling fans come on and stay on until you disconnect the battery, they then go off and only come back on when you have tried the starter. the drivers side electric window switch appears to be melted and doesnt work and I havent even tried any other electrical parts yet, this was just to try and start it, think there are some melted wires shorting somewhere :evil: :evil: :evil:
on the plus side I found this JDM piece of carpet under the seat
-
have you bought a chocolate car and left it out in the sun lol
-
If you keep it and doing an engine swap… swap the looms over, should only take a few hours with the car stripped anyway.
The import shells are Gavanized, so hard to rust, the shell will outlive your old one.
-
Galvanized? Where did you see that? That makes me feel incredibly unlucky now considering the state of my one! :lol:

I had heard from a couple of mechanics about galvo bodies, I have had a few MOt inspectors tell me theat you can tell a jap import from underneath because they are all much better condition than uK ones of the same age
The body on this eunos is mint so if anyone wants a nearly mint shell with tatty interior for a KLDE/ZE project then let me know as it will only go to the scrappy in a few weeks. I will be testing for LSD this week so if it has it, the gearbox will be out in 2 weeks time
Marco, you were lied to in a much bigger way, that was a huge attempt to disguise major problems and a definate scam, mine I bought off a bonehead :lol:

Yup why do you think I'm so picky with my cars, I can't be dealing with rust so just pick up a cheep import.
For £120 for a shell is outstanding for somoene with the time and brains to swap.
-
It would be a great project for the right person and the body is great on it, the interior is very tired but all there and will be coming with it
-
shame that! Noway I'm getting it over here though. Just have to look for my own rust free import… one that I can see before I buy!
-
I have found a brand new set of 4 standard springs are fitted to it but they will go with it, not sure on the shocks will check em out

Car trailer or shiply.com lol
If you want any panels the doors, bootlid, wings etc are all mint I can look at removing them and how much effort it will be to do it :wink:
