theres 's a funny story, i saw it on my friends grandads drive when i was 15 and said that car is so cool i've never seen one before and in passing years later i said does your grandad still have that car and he said yeah it's not drove in 5 years and he wants it gone!!!

yeah i think so mate, alex knows about the other one i think. bianco argento is it or AR270! thanks guy, really really hope i can make some shows this year!!

thanks mate, its come along way since i brought it for £150 from my friends grandad 5 years ago

Not been on here in a while, but i have been working on the car and i would kinda of say its now finished. I've done alot to it over 5 years, many many hours welding, full strip down, respray, h&r springs, koni shocks, full exhaust, 32k engine, a few gear boxes to name a few!

It seems auto correct has done me over in that last post. I think it would be a good bundle to the right person. All the best matey hope it goes to a good owner

I'm not sure I want to tell you mate, I quite like mine being the only one on the road! Only kidding, its called bianco argento (white gold on italian) I would be a shame mate, it's too good to strip and sell for parts and it's in abit to much of a project state to be appealing to the average person...

sad day shrew!!! from what I saw all the work she's had done to her is first class. its a real shame mate but at the same time the only reason mines made it this far is the fact its my only car. the paint code is 270 by the way matey

Very very interesting! Brakes are next on my list! Seems abit of a mine field at the min, anyone know what conversion is best in way of braking well, easy discs and pad buying and cost?

Wow what a car! Top work as normal kev!

love these wheels! nearly every car i have on the new Forza racing game has them

reminds me of me old AR50 lol

well butters abit far but it felt alot better than before! me too mate me too.

yeah its some really good info, helped me understand how it works so it must be good hahaha. just went out and tested a cold start and smooth as butter, yay!

the manifold is spotless mate, i blocked off the oil breather along time ago as it was throwing crap in there. i have a spare idle valve so im going to swap them if it continues. if not maybe a few squirts of carb cleaner?

hahahaha the thing is with no flat spot i can dive her normally now! i am glad i know more though mate it does give you a better understanding of the engine. alex told me if you take off both battery terminals and hold them together for a min or two it drains the ecu capacitors as its like its start...

sexy

I'm back! i changed the temp sensor, and made sure i got a bosch one, that made it run abit better, but couldn't really tell as the engine was still pretty warm, i got the multi meter and checked the co pot voltage on the air flow meter and that was running at 3.5 volts on idle, so i dropped it to t...

its a non cat model 1990, so i knows its not that. i'm off to tinker now so i'll let you know what i find

aahhh miss read the throttle linkage bit. that might be one of the problems as there both in sync now!

hi guys, there both frist on the list. im feeling its the temp sender after reading the bit about the cts sensor. the thing is i changed it late on last year, but i was speaking to alex and he said he had one that didn't work as there was some crap on it, so worth a check

Hi guys .please bare with me on this one, i may ramble on abit, As shrew and alex will know (i've picked there brains on the phone alot this week) my 33 16v is idleing and running very rough. i'll start from the start, over christmas/jan the car started getting a roaming idle but drove ok really, ju...
