New member from Essex - Hello

Hi all, this is my second pulsar, 1st was hit from behind by a drunk driver and then stolen from outside my house as the alarm was knackered.

I have owned this car since may, only problem so far is the rev counter not working, I have at present got the dash out, cleaned the terminals and re-connected wires up but no joy, apart from that the car runs as it should.

I have a rolling road print out showing 325bhp, don't know if this is at the wheels, I shall have a look maybe tomorrow.

Car has BC Coilovers, front mount, straight thru exhaust, dump valve, a 3inch thingy from the manifold (not to up on engine bits) and a thing that looks like a computer that changes numbers when putting your foot on the excellerator!

Spoke to Bob today and he told me how to soften the dampening on the coilovers, I could feel every bump in the road, not too pleasant, have not tested new settings as front dash a mess at the mo.

Was going to join months earlier but kept forgetting to take pictures - have still forgot will hopefully upload soon.

Anyway hello everyone - I have joined at last.

hello mate, welcome aboard, lot of wires behind that dash isn't there
good to see there is someone as well technically spoken as me  

Welcome to the site fella, whereabouts in Essex you from?

Hi and welcome to the forum .....  look forward to seeing some pics .

Rev counter not working will probably be a dry joint on the circuit board ..

Welcome to the club

Or someone has fit white dials and fucked the gauge up when they took the needle off...

Are you getting a live signal from the ecu?

Hi and welcome.

hiya paul and welcome to the forum

ah pity that didn't work (hes already checked for dry joints but seems to no avail) and clocks are black faced.

pity that didn't work fella but was worth a try anyways, has to be the circuitry in there, bloody clocks are a pain in the ass.

I know the car pauls got and its a very very good car is that deffo one of the better ones and a very nice spec too

Welcome, everyone's living down Essex way now.
The only Gtir way is Essex.

welcome to the site buddy

Welcome to the mad house matey

welcome mate get some pics up

Didn't get round to taking any pictures, must do tomorrow....with regards to the dash, don't know how to check for dry joints, or what they are, the clock does spring about, then it works, then it gets stuck past maximum revs, as it works sometimes it seems it must be some kind of small electrical fault, but where? don't like to give up but feel I have to!

Pulsarmoley, I am from High Garrett, just north of Braintree, how about you?

Thanks for a warm welcome guys.
