just to keep you updated:
i was suppose to bring the car wednesday morning to the garage to have my new clutch installed. But the car doesn't start anymore. the mechanic came check the car. With a new batterie and after having avoided the car to be flooded, it still doesn't work... I'm a bit scared

Grunswald

solved, it was just massively flooded due to a alcoolised new year eve... ("come here mate, hear the rx.... ok let's get more alcool")

thats what it sounded like to me when i read it.. flooded but it gets to be where u hate to say that for every starting problem. good luck

the car is running smooth now. Had to unplug the fuel pump, then crank crank and crank again to clean the chamber and after a while it reworked... although my garage is full of fuel fumes now lol.

by the way, it appears that i got 4 T spark plugs, no L, is it normal ?

Grunswald

so after many many troubles, i got a call from the garage and the car doesn't work. I got new clutch, new flywheel and new emitter and receipter (don't know the correct name). But it appears that there is not enough travel, the clutch can't get completely engaged. Ever heard of such problem ?

so time for a little update, i finally have my car back, with a new clutch and new flywheel. I just bombed down the little hill road next to my place and i have to say the car is running great.
Strangely i don't have anymore the hesitation between 3000 and 4000rpm even though i haven't cleaned my grounding points.
I also changed my power steering belt .
what remain to do urgently is to change my spark plug (i'm waiting for 3/8" tool as i don't see how to reach the spark plugs with the common sparkplug cross).
From the original list i planned i think i'll remove or retard the removal of the air pump (as you convinced me it was not worth it), the change of coilover and wheels (i like the stance and the look of the standard turbo2 and the ride is quite nice at the moment).
so i think my next action will be the installation of the rtek ECU mod. then i'll try to get me a bosch fuel pump (i may have discounts on them). and finally i'll check at my parent's house to see if we have something to build a cold air intake just to add a little more of roarrr factor .

meanwhile i plan on checking the dashboard. one screw is missing and it's fixation is broken so dashboard is "soft" and also the front wiper just work at speed 1 and the rear doesn't work at all... and i have to fix the leak in the glass liquid tank.

i haven't checked the fuel thingy but there is no fuel smell under the hood and the garage didn't noticed anything about it...

That's it for now. do you think i'm heading in the correct direction ? any advices on how to easily remove the spark plugs ? or on what to could be the cause of the wiper disease ?

Hi new update, i finally installed all that i had in stock on the fc and i'm waiting to install my rtek chip.
i'm hearing around that i will need a boost controller due to the removal of the catalyst and the use of the fcd, is it true ? so if it is any element recommanded ?
Then i believe i'll need a new boost gauge or the stock one will be enough (although i have absolutely no idea on how to convert mmHg to bar or psi...) ?
I know that those are stupid questions but i don't want to buy lots of stuff for nothing
