arosabinns Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 ive got no idea whats up wit it.Its running lean and cant figure out the problem. The new engine is spot on couldnt ask for a better rebuild just my wiring and sensors suckIm considering breaking it unless someone know the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevesLupoS Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Love this car, cookies are awesome and i must say that colour was a bold move, paid off, sad to hear your considering breaking it, if so let me know how much for the wheel and boss kit (same as a lupo im guessing) ? ? ?

Jack :) Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I'll have the bonnet, front and rear bumper off you mate if you split it? Willing to pay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbo Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 You might be better just trying to sell it as a whole, pretty sure someone who's quite handy with engines/electronics would snap it up. I'm tempted myself but know nothing when it comes to electric stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arosabinns Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 its nothing to with anything mechanically. whole engine bay is newjust one part of the wiring loom to the crank sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
