agree that the core plug change at this point is a crucial thing to do. a few quid and you know they'll last another 20 years

Progressing!!

Looking good

Very happy boy today, bit thanks to Mark @ alfa lusso. So much hard work for my 1.7 16v... So pretty now!

Looking slick there Welshy!

Very, very nice.

Thanks guys.. been a long slog, still have to get it through emissions this week, then a new exhaust is being made up by powerflow... and K&N's to find....

Hi,

Does anyone know what's the best starter motor to buy? I want to get a more powerful ignition, any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

if I have a weak starter I prefer to take to my local auto electricans and they overhaul them for me, a much better way of knowing it's right.
usually around £50 to get them rebuilt I find.

Agreed, and probably a better idea than the alternative starters, they're shouldn't be any issues starting our little motors when they are operating as they should.

I'd then spend the money on as big a battery as possible for more (CCA) Cranking Amps, and improve all related cables, grounds and connections to as big as practical!



For example, the bls race 33, almost a 2.0l high compression motor manages to start from a rather pitiful sized race battery, but its quality connections and cables ensure that every critical single volt and amp makes it to the starter and ignition circuit, and voila!

Thanks guys.

I'll look to do that when I get her running again.. she didn't wake up from her nap!
