Im pretty glad to announce, it was the adjustment of the point that was needed.

Something that simple, could make so much problems !! Haha

CHYEEAAHH BOYY !! aahahahahaha.

Yeah mines still playing up. TBH i didnt measure it, i jsut guessed, put it on started it, adjusted agian started it, etc etc. Eventually out of the 100th times it started to idle and rev fine. I had to advance it a little though.

I measured it today at .4mm but it wasnt running good. So i just took guesses hehehe

[GRN_VAGN]

also try the plug gap, i know mine plays up if its not set right.

Think its 0.7mm, some manuals say 0.8mm... mine ran crap on that setting

Some f*cked d*ckhead drover straight into the back of me today infront of school. I was at the pedestrian crossing and he just kept going.
I got his rego down and his name and license number, but im unsure of how to contact his insurance company. Said he's with HBO, but i've never heard of that. Im scared as i dont have insurance on mine, that i'll end up getting screwed.

I just cant seem to catch a freaken break ...

Should have got the cops involved mate. Got an incident report filled out.

Ring em up, tell em what happened but it's now your word against his...

Haha funny you should say that. I went cop shop, and asked to fill in a report, she said theres not much she can do, its all up to the insurance companies? Errr ok. All she did was take down details etc and said she will find out more about the driver. I have 2 witnesses, one was in the car with me, whilst the other was crossing the street at the time. However because they go to my school they are considered 'friends' and she cannot take their word for it.

So im guessing i have to take a statement from the grass, or the tree who witnessed it, whom i am not associated with for it to count.

[Preen59]

As long as you filed an event report that is way better than nothing.

Good luck with it, mate.

Go back down the Police station with ya parents and hassle them again.

Im guna take a guess and say HBO is a local gang...

Much damage?

OH NOES!! did the black bumper survive??

Much damage?

[GeorgeMK1]

I've never heard HBO, and i doubt its local.

Im going to go hastle the guy tmoro if i can find his address. Aswell as get a quote for how much the damage is.

From far not much damage at all. And actually, its not that bad. Just under the rear right taillight is cracked and dinted in. This impact has caused the paint to crack around, and has made my bumper bar dig into the body. From the inside, the panel under the tail light seems to be torn a little too.

All in all im ridiculously releaved i put on my rear bumper on sunday night as i had it off. Atlease damage was kept a bit lower. Regardless, finding my paint agian, and getting it painted etc, is a hastle and also costly, which isnt a good sign.
Will keep up to date tmoro as to what happens next fellas

[GeorgeMK1]

Hey guys unsure of whats going to happen insurance wise yet.

However, seeing as i have to get my rear fixed, and have to re-paint the rear, i came accross an idea today. I have a swallowtail shell. How hard is it to cut the rear out of both and replace mine with the swallowtail rear?

Thanks, george

[GRN_VAGN]

just cut out that section you need between the tailights.

If the swallowtail shell is good, might not be worth cutting it out though,

[Jarred]

don't ruin the shell if it's still decent.

swallowtail isn't any thing fancy. Big deal overseas, but meh...

[GeorgeMK1]

Shell isnt in any special condition, and at the end of the day ill probs end up crushing it. So, doesnt really phase me at all .. if its that easy, looks like george has a new swallowtail

Heres some pics of the dint etc ..



Ps, i have a pretty mad new idea that i have which involves my fender. Thats all ill say for now hehe
