Just another day in the life of an S13 owner
So i’m driving halfway across the country to checkout a Honda Civic SiR that I was thinking of buying for my daily driver, when got there and found the car I wasn’t impressed at all. Nice colour but condition was poor, dents, rattles and a warning light on the dash. More then that though this was the first EK i’d seen and I wasn’t very impressed with the power / speed either.
Anyway I drove back and three miles out of my town the engine cut coming down a steep hill. Nice! I coasted it over into a farm entrance and tried to turn it over but nothing. I did the basic checks but couldn’t figure it out. I called out recovery and after an hour they turned up and did some more checking, turns out the engine wasn’t getting fuel. Checked the lines, injectors and relays and all are fine so it looks like the Wahlbro fuel pump has died. Annoying!
To tow me home he had to remove the front bumper, intercooler, turbo pipes and so i’m left with a pretty poorly looking 180sx sat on my drive :( I ordered a new fuel pump last night so if it’s in stock this weekend i’ll swap it over and hopefully fire it up.
Old cars eh!?
