  1. If its an import its probably your fog light... Damn it thats two technical questions answered in a short space of time..... if only Dcash could see me now.... im flying Dan will have a fit when he see that you have answered 2 questions
  2. Use either V-Power or Tesco 99 - Tesco more often now because its closer.
  3. Weather was against me this morning but once it dried up this afternoon I managed to get a few hours of work in Only done the basic things so far but tomorrow is supposed to be dry which means I can really crack on with it Z moved into position at the side of my house, as you can see I have loads of room to work with Bumper off, becoming an expert at this now. Can remove the front end within 20mins Bumper Reinforcement bar removed, pipe that runs between both washer bottles removed Intake, Catch Can, A few brackets & the Idler pulley removed And then the light disappeared All tucked up for the night ready for tomorrow. Will start tomorrow by relocating the horns & fitting the the oil tank
  4. Build List GTM HKS Stage 2 Supercharger HKS AFK GTM Oil Cooler Cosworth Intake Plenum Deatschwerks 600CC Injectors Walbro Fuel pump HKS Black Edition SSQV AAM Throttle Body Spacer Z1 Water Temperature Sensor Adaptor Koyo 54MM Radiator Tomei Test Pipes Defi Water Temp Gauge CJM Stage 0 Fuel Return System NGK One Step Colder Spark Plugs AAM Oil Pan Spacer Defi Boost Gauge Defi Oil Pressure Gauge Defi Fuel Pressure Gauge HKS AFK Install There are 4 parts to install, 1 Ignition feed, 2 wideband sensors (will be fitted when my new cats arrive) & the knock sensor. The first 3 are easy, the last one though involves splicing into the ECU harness I was not looking forward to this part of the install, cutting the factory harness was probably the most nerve wracking thing I've done so far A few mates came down & gave a helping hand we started by removing the lower dash to gain access to the ECU, removed the ECU & found the correct wire to cut into. Then to make things easier, we removed the passenger seat. There is sod all room in the footwell, especially when your trying to hold a soldering iron, solder & another wire as we discovered, there is not enough room under there for 2 people to do it. Heres where it went a bit wrong because of the lack of room, when I tried stripping the wire back so I could tap into it I used a bit to much force & snapped the wire It took me nearly 3 hours to get them bridged back together with the knock amp connected aswell, then just as I was wrapping them in insulation tape - it came apart I was about to give up when I had a call from my uncle seeing how we were doing (I think he was worried because we hadnt phoned him in over an hour ) Explained the situation to him & he came to my rescue, within 10mins he had the whole thing fitted (its easy when you do that for a living ) I only have it set up to monitor knock at the moment, I will fit the wideband sensors once I recieve my new cat pipes. Interior before Interior now Came out better than I expected it to TBH, Pretty happy with it & you get the idea of what it will look like when my other gauges arrive
  5. Made a start on installation today, will make a progress thread in a bit so that people don't have to read through 6pages before seeing the install start
  6. Ian, is this correct? I never knew you were into the older woman No smoke without fire I like older women, but I have no idea who she is
  7. I think its great, good for finding places when your not sure where you are going My only complaint is that you can see me driving my Vectra & I'm doing something I shouldn't be at the same time
  8. Like a few others I'm not a fan of it. I just think that all the carbon interior pieces (RSW included) look tacky
