Re: Random idle when hot

hadnt driven the old girl for a while but took it out recently and finally it played up when i just got it back in the shed. it appears the primary jet is dripping fuel into the throat/venturi and causing it to surge and stall from getting too much fuel at idle. looks like i will have to put that ca...

Re: show me your wheels!

Just to keep this going, these are mine.
13x5.5 and not sure of the offset as the fronts got shaved down to fit. I think +12

Re: `800 Beast project

Not much progress recently, I gave it a rough wheel alignment which freed up some spare power for the hills. Apart from that I have just been taking it to the local cruise once a month. Would be good to see some other suzukis there!

Re: `800 Beast project

yeah i thought about that but the springs are too soft as soon as i sit in it it would be back on bump stops again.
do sierra springs or any other cars fit in the hatch? i need to stiffen it up a bit first.

Re: Random idle when hot

I doubt it's icing up, inlet air temp isn't very low and I have a open filter so it gets some warm air from the engine bay. I changed the coil and took it for another decent drive, the idle was around 600 rpm which is low but it drops below 500 and stalls when hot. I have adjusted it to around 900 w...

Re: `800 Beast project

Lowered springs in the front and 65mm lowering blocks in the rear..

I have taken the blocks out as it's too rough on bump stops, I need to find some stiffer leaf springs that fit or get these ones changed before I lower the rear.

Re: Random idle when hot

Thanks Brayden,
The leads have been replaced recently but not the coil, how would I check the coil?

Also what number/heat range plugs do they take, could they be incorrect?

I will put a carby kit through it next week.

Random idle when hot

Hi guys, hopefully someone can help me out but I know it's hard without seeing the car in person. I took my hatch for a cruise on the weekend and when it was hot (not overheating) the car randomly decided it wouldn't idle and stalled coming up to the lights. We let it sit for a bit and then decided ...

Re: `800 Beast project

I got sick of the beast changing lanes every time it shifted gear so I've changed the lower control arms and bushes. Still yet to take it for a cruise to test it out. Hopefully my lowered ksfl-12 springs and blocks turn up soon so I can tuck the wheels in the arches. Oh, and I proposed to my missus ...

Re: `800 Beast project

Exactly my thinking! they are heaps shorter and you almost always have all your favorite music on your phone or computer anyway. It's still needs a little sub under the rear footwell area I think.
