My 19 hasn't moved all day. Working nights and looking after my 3 year old girl in the day time :x

Got in at 5.30am up at 7.30am 2 hours sleep plus 1 in the evening and back to work at 9pm... :roll:

I changed the starter motor on my 19 ,what a shit job.
I had one changed last year by a local garage , the polish mechanic charged me 35 quid!
How can he do it that cheap? He must of kicked him self when he realises what he has got to do!
It took me ages.

New update for my R 9

I have F7P engine in my R9 and my update today is putting Walbro 255 fuel pump with universal fuel pressure regulator and removing the original one and closed it`s place.
And as usual no new upgrade with no problems ,as the car idle good but hesitate when i accelerate from idle till 4000 RPM after that it runs well.
The car performance become better at the end of each gear as i have performance chip so i shift at 7800 RPM.
But i am still searching for the hesitation problem although i open 45 psi.
So if anyone have an idea of how to fix this problem.
