what's da prob with me city T1?
Just got a city T1. Love it, but.... It's got a prob, hopefully only small. It idles a bit rough and misses sometimes when it comes on boost. After driving it for a while it will totally loose power and cut out. It won't start again for a while after this. Temperature of engine is fine. Seems to be a spark problem or ignition??? Anybody know what this is?? Thanks

Re: what's da prob with me city T1?
might be some of your computer earths or maybe a bad conection somewere, i had a friend with the same prob in a 2litre turbo 121(rx5) but i would just die when it got hot and not start again till it was cold, turned out to be one of the trigger wires in the dizzy had come unplugged and was just sitting on the terminal the heat made enough resistance to break the circuit causing it to stop running >:(

I have a problem with my t2. In 1st and 2nd it will rev out all the way to redline, but in 3rd it will only rev to 5500rpm before it cuts out. Boost gauge shows 12psi, so I don't think its the boost cut.
Can anybody help? ???

I think I know what the problem is now. I'm pretty sure my turbo just bit the dust. F*#ken spewin! I was driving back from Sydney to Newcastle on the freeway and the turbo (which was aready playing up) started to miss and then surge and then what do you know... car cuts out again. This time when I got it going again there was very little boost to speak of and when it did come on boost it made funny noises (although I wasn't laughing). Is this generally what happens when yer turbo bites it? Anybody know where to get a new Turbo that doesn't cost the earth? F#@k Sh%t Moth$r F#@ker. There ive said my peace. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Oh dear, that doesnt bode well for my my 380 000km ex-marathon city :'(
Will spending a bit to get it reconditioned now save it from dying in a few years (months??) time?
