[k11_whore]

Wouldn't tigerseal be strong enough to hold it? Saves drilling holes

 

[phil.marsh]

I

Spray job so far.

 

[phil.marsh]

What do you think?

 

[Daniel]

Looks good mate, I like it (Y). Screwed on?

 

[phil.marsh]

Yep and no more nails so the best of both worlds

 

[Daniel]

Awesome (Y). So it should be pretty damn secure then :laugh:

 

[phil.marsh]

It still has some play in it though?

 

[Daniel]

Don't worry, mine does it as well. They tend to flex a bit. Just make sure you've done the bolts up as tight as you can

 

[phil.marsh]

Have done

Started to creak at one point so I though I'd stop.

 

[phil.marsh]

Just ordered some carbon fibre wrap well not the real stuff but the 3M-NIDOC stuff for the spoiler
It was only £5.99 for 1.5m X 30cm

 

[John_1.0]

looks nice.

 

[phil.marsh]

How do I know when my alternator belt needs changing?

 

[John_1.0]

it screaches like mine does atm XD

 

[phil.marsh]

*quickly goes to eBay to by a new belt*

Mine is squeaking and gets faster as the engine revs. It's either the pulley or the belt

 

[phil.marsh]

Bought an oil breather filter (pipercross) yesterday didn't seem to make much difference though?
Also boot release came today (thanks will)
Let you know how fitting it goes

 

[Shaun]

why do you think the oil breather filter would do anything?

 

[phil.marsh]

Nope just wasn't sure what to expect lol

 

[John_1.0]

pmsl. clues in the name.

 

[phil.marsh]

Alright guys it's been a long day

 

[phil.marsh]

Fitted the boot release kit! Wasn't the easiest of jobs but it works!

First I fitted the actuator in the boot and ran the wire to the front
Drilled a hole for the button

The fitted the button

Works a treat

 

[phil.marsh]

I don't think my car had done to badly to be honest. Just came up against a golf 1.6 at the traffic lights and we had a little drag race down the dual carriage way. We were pretty matched up until about 60 when he pulled away but that's pretty good for a 1.0

Tut tut, shouldn't be drag racing fwn. I can't really talk though, I had a 1.2 Corsa, 1.2 Fiesta, a C2, and 106 yesterday :laugh:. People don't realise just how rapid the 1.0l are, especially with the right engine mods

 

[phil.marsh]

Exactly .
When you fitted your engine breather filter could you start to hear more of a whining noise?

 

[Daniel]

Kind of, I wouldn't really call it a whining noise though. You know the sound if you unclip the top off your airbox, take out the filter, and drive it like that? You can hear the sound of the throttle body drawing air into the engine. When you fit an induction kit/performance air filter, this noise is louder when you accelerate

 

[Shaun]

Couldn't outrun a 1.3 and me though...

 

[phil.marsh]

I probably couldn't xp

Just fitted some LED lights where the fog lights would go.
What do you think?

 

[r-reg-sr]

look aaa aaight the "raw" is starting a trend, good stuff
gives him a more modern look
need dans opinion though

 

[Daniel]

They look good, I might have to get some :grinning:. How are they wired up?

 

[phil.marsh]

Couple of scotch locks onto the side lights il go take another photo now that its dark

 

[Daniel]

Ah right, so they're just wired onto the side lights, so when they're turned on, the LED lights come on as well? I could do that in 5 minutes :grinning:. Not sure where I'd fit them though, since my lower grill is open mouthed :doh:. I can use cable splitters though, got loads in my garage (Y)

 

[phil.marsh]

 

[phil.marsh]

It's a piece of ####. You could mount them to the top of the open mouth

 

[Daniel]

I was thinking I might mount them at the top yeah, on either side of the numberplate surround. I'd make up some brackets for them though, just to be safe

 

[phil.marsh]

They come with brackets screws wires so you don't need to make anything halfrauds for £24

 

[Daniel]

Aha, done deal then :grinning:. I might try get some as soon as I get some money :wasntme:

 

[phil.marsh]

They are pretty bright all I need now are some xenon look bulbs

 

[Daniel]

Nah, HID kit (Y). My blue bulbs are fairly bright, as well as my blue side light bulbs. I think I'll be blinding road users :laugh:

 

[phil.marsh]

Too expensive xp

What bulbs do I need for dip and sidelights and main beam?

 

[Daniel]

What, do you mean in terms of wattage or colour, just standard bulbs?

 

[phil.marsh]

In terms of plug fitting

 

[Daniel]

I can't remember off the top of my head. Sidelights are those really tiny ######s with 2 tiny pins sticking out of them, the main beams have 3 metal lips on them that hold them into the bracket, think they've got 3 pins for the connector? Been a while since I changed them

 

[k11_whore]

Not sure if prefacelifts have same bulb fittin but I belive theyr h4 bulbs, I have h4s extreme whites xenons, 60/55w and theyr extremely bright with a slight blue tint aswell, and 501 fitment led sidelights

 

[phil.marsh]

H4 bulbs

Just posted a thing about a meet.

West wittering beach

 

[phil.marsh]

That's what I just ordered

 

[k11_whore]

Hope it helped 60/55w? Will notice huge difference if extreme whites

 

[phil.marsh]

Slam this number into eBay:


310306100096


I ordered 2 sets (mains and dip) they come with free sidelights

 

[phil.marsh]

I think this looks pretty bad ass

 

[r-reg-sr]

I think this looks pretty bad ass

if its looking bad ass then you may as well do the ass bad also (same light arrangement in red brake or parking light same as front shape)

 

[phil.marsh]

Thats what's next : D
