Mr. Foggyjames, sir

Any new pics from 164 which we could drool over?

Did you got it to run properly yet? If so, we need of course a video action clip

+1

However, judging by foggy's cars an action clip might be difficult

Oof. Punch a man while he's down?

[foggyjames]

Not yet....

However, my 343 was giving exactly the same no-start condition, and it was soon fixed using a screwdriver, a small funnel, and a can of fuel, so I think it should be easy to sort out. I need to find an HT lead for it (thanks to Ozzy ), but apart from that, it should go...

Sadly it's not so pretty at the moment. It's not bad for rust...but it's far from perfect, either. It needs four door skins, a screen surround, and a pair of "butt cheeks" (spare wheel wells).

James my brother is parting out one of his 164's. Any bits you need let me know. I'm fairly sure teh door skins have gone on eteh bottom corners on it though

[foggyjames]

Ooh, I may well be in touch.

Steve...didn't you bail on a meet because your car (leaving aside the fail-tastic nature of said car...) wasn't working...?

cheers

James

[SteveP]

No, it was working - just needed the cat welding up cos of petty MOT testers. Got that new engine in yet?

[foggyjames]

Indeed, it won't effect negatively to top speed so it is not needed

James, I did try to find pic with certain gentleman with green can, but I did fail miserably Was that green can syndrome reason of not starting condition?

Looking forward of progress report, take your time, I know so much to do, so little time

I'd forgotten about that picture It's on a video somewhere too

[girlracer]

I remember the first time of that happening! It was my first meet! what was the excuse was it the renix he was blaming? cant remember seeing that this was not the first and only time of it hapenning! ah the memories!

[foggyjames]

It's happened three times in total....that being the first. The third time, I'd just drained the tank, and put half a can back in. It didn't make it 1 mile down the road...



cheers

I remember when i first ran out of petrol, id just been pulled over by the police and my car stopped literally as they flashed me so they helped me push the car to a parking spot and let me off with a warning.

It has happened to me twice in 360, first time at intersection and second time right after I did exit from driveway, mind you fuel gauge did show almost 1/4 tank left in both cases

Later I did fix fuel gauge sender unit by bending arm a little and cleaning contacts so after that I had no problems with 360.

Nowdays it is quite hard to run out of fuel, need to keep at least half tank fuel as need to travel so long trips and filling fuel tank at 5am is not one of my favorite hobbies
