Thanks again!

Small Update,

my tubing came today to finish off the carbon pillars,looks ALOT neater now with this stuff on:

Also a pic of my back window,cant remember uploading a pic of it?

 

[Retepetsir]

Could you not just use the original door trimming strip to cover the edges of the carbon fibre?

 

[pjg1979]

Love it, CG13 Inside, lol, lucky it ain't microsoft because it'll breakdown at some point. Coming along nicely anyway, looking really clean as well.

 

[hoodedreeper]

I could,but had to take the front rubber out as my tweeter pods rub on it when i have the door closed

 

[hoodedreeper]

Small Update,nothing major i'm afraid:

My Audi LEDs stopped working,and with the craze becoming bigger and bigger,the market for them has grown since i had the idea. So i thought it was time for a change.

I also done a short video but the quality went from average to very crap when i compressed and converted it (damn Samsung phone!) So apologies for the poor quality.

Thats about it for now

 

[jim_bling]

[hoodedreeper]

New Brakes are now fitted! Many thanks to Fast Eddy for supplying the Discs & Pads!

Grooved Discs & EBC Green Pads

 

[WillyMicra]

[joesouthgate]

Nice (Y) You'll have to let us know how good they are once they're bedded in

 

[K10-Lew]

That's so nice mate!

 

[b47to]

i like those stickers

did you have to modd the wind deflectors in any way to get them to fit with the dtm mirrors ?

thanks

 

[hoodedreeper]

Nope wind deflectors went straight on. Its abit of luck as the Mirror Base plates hide part of the deflector

 

[sr-steve]

lovely car mate. how much were the discs

 

[hoodedreeper]

Discs were bought Solid (and plain) and then had them grooved they cost £85 (including the grooving)

 

[hoodedreeper]

Been chavvin' it up d installed these. Had 2 types of results with the camera,will try blending both pics later on when i'm on my desktop PC.

 

[K10-Lew]

Haha, they look pretty sweet man!
Lovin' this car too

 

[WillyMicra]

;o WANT!!

 

[squarepants]

what year is it agian? 2001? hahaha nah only joking. if fitted right and un-seeable they look cool IMO.

altough the red neons tend to look pink.

 

[b47to]

I dont useualy like neons but they look impressive nice mod there pal

 

[hoodedreeper]

I got them fairly cheap from work,always wanted to have them on my car. I quite like them

 

[pjg1979]

Loving the Neons Hoods, saw them on facebook, they look ace.

 

[LifeOfALegend]

Looking nice mate!!

 

[hoodedreeper]

As i couldnt fit the back neon,i thought i'd have it in the back:

 

[Optispart]

cool

 

[pjg1979]

Any news on your car working yet Chris? I keep on seeing no so good comments on Facebook.

 

[hoodedreeper]

Got it started Sunday and was fine all sunday night. Got it back into the city to meet a few people,went to start it and the Engine Management light flashed and the car cut out after 5secs. Disconnected the battery for 10mins,reconnected it and wouldnt start at all.

Connected battery again,wouldnt start at all. Left it 5mins,turned the key and it started! Idled fine,so i drove it home.

Woke up this morning to find the nearside rear tyre was completely flat,tried the car and wouldnt start at all (fuel pump wasnt priming either).

So now back to square 1

 

[pjg1979]

Oh, shame you don't live local, as I have one of those RAC testers that you plug into the ISO connector under the steering wheel, it might be able to give you a code.

Good luck will be interesting to know the fault. What's the battery condition like, I remember fitting some LED's n' stuff to my car via a relay, relay was faulty and kept on draining my battery which I didn't realise. Might be something simple like that.

 

[hoodedreeper]

Battery charge and life is fine,as i got it checked last wednesday at work. Relays are fine

 

[hoodedreeper]

Update with a new mod/addition:

Arty Shot

It was quite difficult getting the camera settings right,so the dials didnt glow too much. Will have another try another night.

 

[jim_bling]

they look good mate but they look a bit high up or it might just be me being a short ass lol what are the dials one is a rev counter whats the other one showing

 

[joesouthgate]

The other one says volt so i guess its measuring volts

 

[squarepants]

how tall are you? the pod looks like its mounted abit high? lol

 

[Optispart]

i think they look amazing

 

[b47to]

They look the dogs were you get hold of those ?

are they these ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TWO-AUTO-GAUG...66:2|39:1|72:1683|240:1318|301:0|293:1|294:50

 

[hoodedreeper]

approx 5'8ish,i can see the dials fine

I got the volt gauge from ebay and the rev from www.rppracing.co.uk

 

[pjg1979]

Looks good Chris, have you got your car working yet?

(Sorry if this has been covered or not, haven't really had time to go through 6 pages of threads, lol.)

 

[hoodedreeper]

Nah not yet will update my topic in Technical and Mechanical with the latest problems

 

[hoodedreeper]

Small Update:

Car is FINALLY sorted after 5 weeks of complete hell!

Anyway,the modding side is abit slow,as i've now done all the little bits and pieces and now everything is triple figures £££

I recently received an Ashley 4-2-1 Manifold (Many thanks to Jowley!) and today at work got the Heat Wrap out and made a start:

Not bad for a 1st try I've got another roll on order so should be here tomorrow or early next week

 

[jim_bling]

how much is it mate as i want some for my manifold

 

[hoodedreeper]

with my staff discount i got it for £15 (5m x 2inches) inc steel tie wraps

 

[hoodedreeper]

Finished wrapping the Manifold ready to be fitted

 

[hoodedreeper]

Popped over to a mates today to have the Manifold fitted,decided to remove the Air Con while we were at it aswell.Managed to remove the A/C pipes & Rad,slackened the Alternator,removed slam panel ready to make room for the manifold.

Managed to get the manifold in,but it wouldnt like up to the studs. The alternator was about 1/2 inch too far in,stopping the manifold. Seeming as we've removed the A/C,we're gonna remove the A/C pump,put on a shorter belt. We also need a new bottom Alternator bracket,as the NON A/C Micra has the alternator lower down in the engine bay.

With a new bracket,it'll allow us to move the alternator further down,making more room for the 4-2-1

 

[Alienfish360]

If you're using exhaust wrap make sure that there's NO GAPS as this can cause a fire risk as the heat will be concentrated at that point, and it needs to be even all the way.

Each wrap should HALF overlap the previous, and do NOT wrap a mild steel manifold.

 

[pjg1979]

Chris, when you got your Aircon removed, what did you do with the pump, have you taken that off?

 

[hoodedreeper]

The pump should be removed tonight when we put the new belt on,new alternator bracket and manifold on

Would you want the air con pump?

 

[Stani1029]

that manifold aint gonna last that long now you've heat wrapped it!

 

[squarepants]

that manifold aint gonna last that long now you've heat wrapped it!

i would say a good 3-4year. but they only mostly last 5years un-wrapped.

 

[Alienfish360]

i would say a good 3-4year. but they only mostly last 5years un-wrapped.

I wouldn't even give it that long, although there's increased corrosion, the major factor is the fire risk.
