Its sad I liked crashtor This amused me also http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/35486601

it looks like it , everyone always sits at those lights if they dont know about it

ive got a full set of JDM callipers about somewhere drop me a PM if you need

I was tempted to leave something but didnt in the end, I want to stake it out tonight as it happened last night so wondering if they will come back to finish the job, I doubt it though. Will change handle tommorow and leave it empty for now and see what happens

Heart in mouth moment today, went to wire the gauge back in properly and what do I discover :scare: Thank god my padlocks saved me, but they done a good job on door and padlock latches, guessing its targeted and someone knows the car is in there or has seen me working on it as no other garages were touched but you never know could of been chancers. Had to move the zed to a secret Batman layer and empty all my tools and parts today from the garage which has put everything on hold for now Cant risk leaving car in there with door like that so thought it best i move it. (Started and drove well though ) Think I might give up my garage spot now and hopefully my mate will let me rent his double garage on his new property, bit further away but I can do what I want in it and with it and its on his land so it will be in his view at all times. God damn attempted thieving judas's

in what way chopped up? where abouts is it chopped? also thanks for digging it out for me

Two words .... Norm Abram I watched every episode on Discovery channel my mrs thought I was a right geek he is annoyingly precise with everything and has a table saw to cut everything though but a legend He goes proper overboard but learnt loads watching show but if anything may give you some ideas/techniques of how to do things http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYoG7X9_lCg

I've done this on my front bumper, just got some alluminum sheeting, drew template off bumper, traced onto sheet cut out with tin snips, neatened edges, rivoted to underside, job done and not even bothered when I hear a scrape now as it always scrapes on the metal,I've got the marks to prove it haha

thanks Bradders that would be awesome, I saw the concept z ones may have to go there if I struggle, where you been SMD? I dont think they are the same for both but doesnt matter il take either

As in title if anyone or traders has one laying about. Its the rubber mat that goes in cubby box and has an angle on it Thanks

or if its what im thinking take your dash out and wrap it in whatever instead of making one?

You are a legend Russ thanks mate much appreciated

Im in Surrey, so when the ignition is at acc there is power to the wing mirror and to the switches, so how come neither gave power to the gauge? Ive been looking at the washer jet wires today so may try them, Ive got a new dash to go on so may have to be patient like Bennett suggests strip dash out and poke everything with my multimeter

Getting fed up with anything to do with oil So removed all door cards wired oil temp gauge up to wing mirrors turned key and nothing, removed door card again spliced into window controls this time turned key...nothing At this point I thought the gauge had blown so decided to hook gauge straight to battery....gauge comes on Where can I take power from easily in the engine bay near the brake resevoir area or anywhere to be honest that will power up my gauge? I wired it directly to the battery and got out and realised its now permanently on, time to rewire again

If yours is similar to mine and got those numbers I would be happy with that yeah the motordyne one gets loads of praise but my pockets are too burned already for that

Its a K&N RX4?? that goes out to behind front bumper, stock internals, no dyno run yet everything's fitted just seeing if its worth swapping exhaust while im at it if it will make a difference before tuning. Was looking at single exits but then renders my custom rear bumper almost pointless Not chasing numbers really as still on stock internals so just seeing if I would lose out over what I have if I did swap. They look so pretty and sound so good

Thanks Alex, when you say other mods are there any more other than the below I have to see an advantage? Vortech V2 S/C 3.12 pulley with CAI, FRS, Plenum Spacer, 600cc Inj, GT maf and usual stuff that goes with all that

I have been toying with the idea of getting a true dual exhaust before I go for a dyno. I currently have a Fujitsubo exhaust (Centre section and Back box) a HR y Pipe and APS decats. Question is would it be better from a forced induction point of view to have a dual setup or stick with my normal setup? Would I gain anymore from having one setup over the other?

No worries buddy any advice you give I always take it as it needs to be done as your spot on with all this stuff! For now no leaks and oil cooler is solid but will take a picture of lines etc and send to you anyway. Im only going with it like this for now as everything is solid and leak free for the sake of getting it tuned, once tuned im going to drop the oil and make all those changes then either straight away or next oil change so no major drama really

I might go for the wing mirror wires as there is a clear red and black in the loom and a bit more accessible than the window switches. I cant be bothered with the light one either at the moment as long as the bloody thing works One of the window switch wires has got to be an illuminated wire when the headlights go on so another job for another day

Thanks, gauge looks great in that spot I think, ive extended all the wires through to engine bay so can take it from where ever (was thinking power source from my throttle controller) like the idea of the window switch would save some hassle, I did notice my electric mirror wire aswell which I almost cut through have you got a pic of wiring to window switch? I didnt notice any red/black wires coming from mine just multi coloured ones, also where did you tap your light wire for the gauge?

Bit more progress, have routed the oil temp sensor wire from the sump area up through engine bay and into brake reservoir area and also spent ages ripping the door apart fitting gauge and routing wires through to same area. Bit of fiddling with old vent to get it in Wire nicely routed out the back and finally in place now to just sort all the connections out in engine bay and im away

is it in the for sale section?

just seen a pic, do I have to replace whole thing including the lid??

Just seeing if anyone has one of these lying around they want to get rid off, finally ripping my Jap sat nav out and would like a storage cubby instead for some smaller gadgets Let me know if you have one Thanks
