So I have been thinking...

It has been awhile since I blogged.

I know... I am slack

but I have been having terrible thoughts..... I think I want to upgrade Beban to a Wagon!

I know I know... My Pride and Joy is getting old and I have been thinking about it for awhile.. but still not decided what to do.

Ahhh Hahhhhh

So the issue of the stalling has apprently been solved... and as I suspected it was the Crank Angle Sensor (CAS). Also the DFI was replaced as well and guess what..

LPG STARTED TO WORK!

It is still a bit lumpy when it stops at lights but otherwise it has started to work again - yay!!

OOOOHHHHHH,,,,,,, I want these....

This I am extreamly tempted to get

Nice Nice..... and only $79.00!

Issues, Issues, Issues.....

So... Beban has two issues at the moment....

• It has been randomly stalling 
• LPG not working.

Now I have figured out the the stalling issues is possibly the crank angle sensor playing up... if it is worse then it's a fuel system issue.

The LPG is a difficult one... it has going in 3 times and it is still backfiring and no being able to run on lpg.... which really sucks.

Hopefully it is going into the mechain's tomorrow for the stalling issue... Fingures crossed

Getting closer to the start of the project!

So.... It has been decided that mid next year is going to be all systems are go with Beban... Mind you the past few months there have been some issues with the LPG/Motor that I am still trying to fix. Lately I have been having issues where the engine will actually stall when it is in a stationary position. I have narrowed it down to being a issue with the Crank Angle Sensor. So eventually when I get some time from work it is back to the mechanics I go.





I am DEFINATLY getting the VX Clubsport kit when it goes in to do the bodywork. I just keep going back to it..... what sealed it for me was when I saw a VT like mine with the exact same colour as mine (Bermuda Blue) and it pretty much sealed the deal. I just can't wait to get the new rims, tyres (hopefully bridgstone tyres will be back on) and King Springs installed first.

I have been also looking into putting LED's in the interior light... I have seen kits going for $60 on Ebay that looks pretty tempting. I like the look of these

Blue LED Kit

Well here it goes... The start of something big....

Well finally I have her back!

Beban is now my car again :o) I am a bit worried at the moment for when I got home from work the other day a massive pool of coolant was coming out from the front passenger side wheel.... so I'll have to go and get that checked out asap. The radiator is approximately 6 months old - so something else could be leaking it (Pipes??).

So the plans for her this weekend is to clear her out and to give her a bloody good wash and buff.. I'll post up the photos when she it done.

Gosh I can't wait to get that sand out of her... I HATE SAND!!!!! Once she is clean  - you can be sure my car will not be going ANYWHERE near a beach or shoreline unless it is for a cruise.

Been looking at getting the white dials to put into her as well. I'll keep my eye out on ebay to see if anything will come up. Also decided that I'll eventually get red callipers put on when the wheels get done. As for the wheels themselves.... Yikes! some many to choose from. 

Also been looking into exhaust systems to be put in. I really want to get the dual sports for it - depends on budget in the end.

Also going to go for a colour theme for the car..... BLUE, GOLD and Red..... The Jets colour.

And so I wish.....

And so here I am on a Sunday night at home looking for ideas on what to do... and so I though hey - look on carsales.com.au and have a look. Came across this beauty  - it pretty much looks exactly what I want (bar the front bumper... I rather the gto one.)
