Welcome young Knightley - congratulations on your first car - what did you buy ?
Don't be embarassed about your paper boy's income - some of us that race have had to do it on a lower budget than that.
I just hope Matt has set you on the road to success and not the one he travels.. |

I got a hyper 8 rtr thats being a bugger to start at the moment. I seams that the flywheel and the starter box done seem to like each other at the moment. I tried to get it sorted but its not working. Hopefully if i dont get it sorted soon, ill bring it to tuesday and some one can help me.
And at the matt comment, hes not that bad? |

No Knightley, Matt's not that bad - I was only messing - you'll come to realise that nothing and no-one is beyond getting ribbed, or having the mick extracted - all in fun. It's an attempt at lightening the mood and not taking things too seriously.
Do you mean to say you have a problem with your starter box , as in it is faulty? or do you mean that the alignment between the starter wheel and flywheel is out? - One of the main things after alignment is the battery - is it fully charged and delivering enough current to turn your engine over fast enough to start? |

what he means grasshopper is that the engine is new and very tight and won't turn over on the box the engine keeps locking tdc but i've been to have a look at it and they've had it running but unfortunately the glowplug as died and need a new 1 which they are getting tomorrow
by the way did you get my email today? |

wow this is getting a bit of topic.
by the way chris, got the buggy down to matts, the glow plug was fine so dont worry, the blasted glow starter was out. Got another tank through it, the engine is starting to loosen up now, but my damn starter box batterie linkage thing is unconnected itself, so down to my electronics teacher tomorrow to solder it back on again. Cheerz for coming down anyway. |

If you don't get it sorted bring it down tomorrow - I carry a gas soldering iron and can probably do it for you |
