I'm realy tired with the 4efte Ignition system, I whish I could just not use the distri anymore. I have changed two coil and one distri in 5 month !
the prob is when you get an other used distri, it is at least 10 years old...

What exactly is the problem you're having. This one is new to me. We've had seevral cars race flawlessly for several season, never had that problem.

Humm Abdus driving Toyota nw..??
He ditch the Honda??
Btw, congrats lio for the performance..

yep Abdus is driving a Toyota
there is only one Honda in slalom tournament. it is bloody fast B16 turbo thought, not far behind my ass.

about the distri. I don't know, since I bought the car back I had ignition troubles.
the reason was cause the temporary owner had removed my TRD leads for unknown reason and installed cheap crap chineese ones. those were totaly rusted and dead when I got the car back. it seems it had damaged coil and distri too, so I had to change coil, then I had same prob, so I changed coil and distri, then it was running fine, but on the last slalom, sundenly I was running on 3 cylindre
we checked sparks, 3rd cylindre sparks did seem very low. I decided to drive home slowly, but have been able to drive 100 meters only before I had no more ignition at all...
car has been towed home and has been lying there since then.

the thing is, when I changed coil and distri, it was for used ones. so they were 10 years old at least... we will change coil and distri again next week end and check what happens...
I'm uploading a video. you'll be able to see by yourself

loving that video azerty, not like usual in car vids. thats a mint cam ur using can proper hear the sound of the turbo and everythin...mint! and great driving also...p.s did u nearly go str8 on at a bend at 1.13?? seemed to lock up a teeny bit lol

almost Rich, almost lol but that wasn't fast on that corner, so couldn't slip that far.
I realised after that session front slick tires died on this slalom.
next session will be back on my semislicks (Toyo r1r)
the camera is a Sony PC 120 with a wide angle external lens.

here is the video of the 1000cc glanza

i think there was suppose to be one round the 20th of next month! thats what i heard.

Hi lionel,its so unfortunate for you.You should be in 1st place if you haven`t encounter this problem 2nd place is not so bad.

indeed Jam, I'm quite happy with the 2nd place considering the ignition trouble.

for those how have been wondering. we found the prob, it was the coil. it is time to buy an uprated one I beleive !
