Title: My Beta coupé 2000
Post by: Martiniracing on February 11, 2010, 06:17:11 PM: Hello,
I'm Cyp from France, I had my Beta since 1998, it came from Switzerland (I live near Switzerland)
My english is not very good but I think to find some informations here
I bought to Mark, a set of lower springs and clear indicators, I'm going to put soon on it
I have a problem with the starter, I have changed the "contact" It worked only some months
I don't know if I need to change the starter or change the elecrical drawing with a relay, I will see

Looks quite aggresive with the number plate being low on the front valance.

Yes I fixed the plate here when I removed the bumpers!

When I put its again I found that the front was more graceful so I glued a rubber band on the bumper! ;)

Welcome along BTW.

Some starter problems can be a poor earth connection. Try running a jump lead from the engine to the chassis or battery -ve and see if that makes it any better.

Yes I think it's a problem of connection, I'm going to try different think before changing the starter
I read that when an electric system is hot the connection are baddest than when the system is cold
It's true for me, no problem to start a first time but after...
Sometime I hit the starter ant it works again...

I think the car looks very striking in white, and without the bumper too.

Welcome to the forum by the way,
