New coilovers in! Brakes on! Stage 3 in! Car won't start. =( Starter motor crapped out.
 
Supposed to be AutoXing today. *sigh*

This sucks.

Sorry to hear that mark... you think you could have missed something during the install?

markbradford 05-26-2002 08:00 AM

Nah - the symptoms don't jive with an install problem.
 
The car turned over for about 3 chugs, then a loud CLICK. Subsequent attempts to start just yield the loud CLICK. We think it's the starter gear engaging, but it won't turn the flywheel.

I''m so pissed - we busted our ass til midnight last night to get it done, and then this.... :-/

Kudos to Rob Fox from MotoPersona though, who has been at the shop with me until 11pm for the last few days, and who has gone WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY out of his way to fit time in to pull mods off of the old car and get them into the new one.

Have you tried the old starter trick? Tapping it while turning the key? Still warranteed? I have a spare starter, if you're looking.

Good Luck,
Chad

Umm push start?

markbradford 05-26-2002 08:24 AM

The location is not conducive to push starting it right now. And it would just be stranded wherever

Hey Mark, can't you pull the starter from another car?
