Noob in Bristol

FTORich · October 11, 2006, 10:20:53 AM

Hi Guys

Just bought a 98 F3DS so will be on annoying the good and mighty with all the standard noob questions that search doesn\'t answer, anyone else here in the North Bristol area?

Main probs for now are noisy suspension and the Alternator light trilogy of charge, oil pressure and coolant.

Is Sadly Broke a village near Bristol?...

FTORich · October 11, 2006, 10:37:52 AM

Indeed it is, quite quaint, just a couple of pubs and the village shops. I live next to rose cottage.

Sadly Broke is a rabbit warren of early 90\'s new build houses! :p Have to meet up at some point then.

Would be good, not sure what I do and don\'t have tbh it was a random ebay punt moment of madness. I know it has a new engine and turbos and clutch, plus some japanese ECU. BTW Whorefield is posh Southmead, your insurance must be expensive

QuoteBTW Whorefield is posh Southmead, your insurance must be expensive

ish. My age and no claims discount helps. Paid Â£640 last year.

Oh, and don\'t trust these jap ECU\'s unless it happens to be the Apexi ECU. They\'re usually poorly mapped, and not really worth it. You\'d be wise to ditch it.

Is it stadard spec?

Pretty much, haven\'t had a good look yet, but seems a bargain.

Sadly Broke sounds like somewhere every RX7 owner lives. lol

Mental thing is i currently have a TVR Chimeara as well, so I\'m not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Accel 3000 Ignition booster?

Random box any ideas?

nikp · October 11, 2006, 11:22:08 AM
