Sounds like a clogged heater core to me.

if it's a clogged heater core, what's the best remedy? can I flush it? buy one from a junk yard? get a brand new one?

I know it's June and all, so a heater shouldn't be a huge concern right now, but mine is doing something really strange. I noticed the other night that the air would only blow hot if my revs were high. If I was just cruising, the air was cold. Any ideas on what's going wrong?

I know there are a lot of threads discussing this, but what size really is best for a stock M42? 2.5 inch? 2.25 inch? does anyone know what size the Supersprint system is?

General Topics / Is this a starter problem??

« on: December 16, 2006, 02:14:30 AM »

When the car is relatively cold.  I try to crank the engine but it doesn't even turn.  Makes a thumping sound (like "Thump").  Then, after a couple of tries, it cranks normally.  But, this morning, I couldn't start the engine at all.  Is this a battery problem?  If it is battery, it shouldn't even crank at all correct?

Thanks

try tapping your starter with a wrench. if it starts fine after that, you need a new starter.

Electrical / COP Brackets: Your Preferences?

« on: December 12, 2006, 02:59:31 PM »

Is anyone going to to run with this? I will check into having some made up if no one else is going to do it. I have access to a mill and I'm sure there's someone here would like to pick up a little cash. I would prefer some one else do it. I already have the conversion on my own car. How many firm commitments are there for these.

i too am intrested, but lack the knowledge to make these. if you're thinking about making these plates, i'll take one for sure.
