Re: Help Wanted
Welcome to NICO!
You would get a lot more help in the 240 section.
The car sounds like a beater.
BTW, fast and reliable don't go together.

Re: Help Wanted
Moved to 240 gen.
Sounds like you'll probably need a new transmission, as well as replace or rebuild the frozen calipers. As for the starter... maybe the starter relay?

Fast, reliable, cheap. Pick 2 of those three. You cannot have all three.Otto MCR wrote:BTW, fast and reliable don't go together.
As for the starter, which wire are you directly connecting to the battery? The big thick one or the smaller wire? If it's the big thick one, you'll need to look at the wiring harness and make sure someone didn't make a rats nest in there. If it's the smaller one, then it's probably the relay as Pappy mentioned. You can definitely tell that if there is no click from the engine bay when you turn the key.
