So the Red Si has been ticking along slowly and with the help and support of a few people on this forum here’s where I’m at:
- brake system more or less entirely replaced and front upgraded to 266mm 206 brakes
- 13” steelies replaced with 14” pepperpots and fresh rubber
- bunch of trim pieces (lenses, lights, mirrors etc - again thanks to the forum)
After getting the brakes working and finally taking for a spin around the block was a big boost for morale!
Next on the list
- new exhaust booked in for next week (although I don’t mind the “sans rear muffler” note)
- RWC
Couple of things still to do that I need some advice on:
1. Need to do a proper coolant flush, when removing the lower radiator pipe how do you access it? With the aircon unit in the way I’m assuming that something else needs to be removed?
2. Fuel gauge doesn’t work, moves a little on start up but is showing - any ideas on how to troubleshoot? Would the dropping the tank when I did the brakes have buggered it?
Cheers!
