New project Mk1 - QLD

[rat77]

I can't stand when people put chromies on rexies! They look ****e and not what they were intended for! I love jdm and that's how I built the wrx! Although it looks stockish it's far from it! Similar to mk1s and most nice cars it's simple mods that set cars off in my opinion! No fiberglass here, all original jdm sti parts! The tailights for example are worth around 500 as they are the jap 22b ones with the white frosted lense instead of having the orange indicator in them, all indicators changed so there's no orange, I could go on With what else is in it but I would fill a page haha but this isn't the forum for it haha! Sorry for those of you who fell asleep reading this!
I will get some engine shots of the rexi after we finish some more work on it in the coming weeks! Holidays ftw!!!

So we went for a drive yesterday shopping, hanging out etc! Lots of stop starting. We get home and we realist we forgot the ingredients for the con loaf! So we went to go get bak in the golf To go to the shops but when I turned the key the fuel pump starting pumping away n then when I wentto click it one more to kick it over! Nothing! I proceeded to turn it a couple of times with nothing happening after accessories! Would this be the alternator? As it was driving fine before but when we went to turn it on again it has power to the pump but not to turn over!

Haven't had a chance to look at it this week! Anyone got any ideas as to wat I should be replacing/fixing first?

battery ok? terminals ok?

give the alternator a love tap (seriously this sometimes works)

in a car this old it could be poor connections anywhere between the batt and the ignition barrel.

have a search around this site aswell i think there was another thread recently that had the same problem and had some responses from guys who are much more familliar with mk1s than me.

Thanks heaps for that I'll check it out on the weekend! I'm finally on holidays after today so I'll get a chance to have a go at it!
The wrx is booked in at ATD racing developments Monday to get 850cc sard injectors, split fuel rails, tomei fuel pressure regulator and the apexi powerfc with hand controller and then off to godzilla motorsport for a tune! Fingers crossed all goes well!!!!
