That looks awesome. Ive seen it done before on other cars where its wayyy too bright and over the top, but as above, that looks really classy. Nice job.

Not a V6. Not nice. Not worth 3p. Should not be on the road.

Is this it? http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=45385&C=Froogle&U=45385&T=36764

sorry to jump in on it if you were half way through! I was bored :) Does look good though. Gloss black would look the danglies.

Haha, yeh its a fair point. Ive had the hub off in the past so its not that im totally clueluess, and if i could borrow the tools i would be able to do it. Its just the whole time issue and getting tools etc, the more i think about it, the more im probably just going to put my hand in my...

Just a quick attempt for you. If you had higher resolution pics it would look a bit nicer, these probably arent dark enough either. Should give you an idea though

Ok ive had a word with a friend about changing the front bearings and a lower sus ball joint, and i need some opinions. I can get 2 new front bearings and a new lower sus ball joint for £43. The thing i cant decide about though is if i try get the hubs off myself and just have a garage press...

Yeh 2mm and my gammy fingers could cause issues! Thanks for the info anyway! I think from memory the last time i changed them it was the smaller size i needed but im only 50% sure, i remember whatever size i had originally got (which i think was the larger) turned out to be wrong when i had a...

Haha, sounds nasty man, hope theres no lasting damage! Ill definately not try the bearing pressing myself without a proper press, ill get all the hubs off i think and then a garage can just switch over the bearings, should be a damn sight cheaper. Ive had the same experiences at a couple of...

Well my front bearings have gone AGAIN. My front left has been steadily grinding for a while now although its fairly quiet, on the drivers side however everything was fine until i went on a fairly lengthy 70mph drive to pick the grandpaprents up on xmas day and all of a sudden theres this very...

Quite magnificently awful.

The video is pants frankly, but im still impressed by the fact that my car now spits flames.:D I think i need a remap as it must be overfueling - its a standard exhaust with a decat and backbox so i dont think it should really be popping. Still, it sounds awesome on the overrun, and even...

I wish my Honda GX160 kart went that fast! Its surely speeded up, i mean, what the hell is going on with the pedal action in relation to the sound - is that a clutch he has his left foot on, or are the brakes on 2 pedals for front/back?

Just when i get one thing sorted with the car - another thing arses up. Went out for a run tonight with the new de-cat on (vids to follow) and it was pretty wet all round - my sunroof leaks like a b*****d, but it has never affected anything other than my dryness before now. It started when my...

Both look really nice! I hope to do the same one day!

Opposite looooooooooockk!!!......

Thats why i didnt post it in the media section, and whats wrong with being happy about the fact my car gives the odd flame on the overrun? Hopefully vids to follow. I have an in-car video where you can hear it popping a bit, but the sound is odd and really bassy.

Your enthusiasm never fails to amaze me Ali!

Fit my new decat this weekend, and after letting the exhaust paste harden, began to gradually wind the revs up a bit - cant belive what a diffenece it has made to the sound! Its a standard exhaust system just with an aftermarket backbox (fitted by prevous owner), which before now made a crap...

Just to give you an idea - i think they look better like this:

OK, evevrything just got even stranger. Went to the car this morning with the idea of wiring the alarm back up to power, starting the car, then killing the alarm again so it wasnt going off while i was on the way home where i was planning on attacking the alarm a proper. I took the fuse out...

I really like the look of the whole car. As has been said some deep dish euro rims would really set everything off. I like it though, nice work mate!

Thanks for that ill have a damn good look for an interruption in an orange wire going to the starter. Hopefully though, if i can bypass the speaker and hazard lights, i can have the alarm wired up to power as normal. Thanks for the advice thoguh, and like i say, ill let you know how i get on.

Yeh no worries, my dads coming down saturday to have a look at it all, i had a good look yesterday and all the wires coming out the back of the unit are accounted for i think, i really dont understand why the starter isnt engaging. Before trying to trace everysingle wire im going to have a play...

If i do that though then ill be in the situation i am now, where ive taken the poewr wire from the battery so the alarm has no power, and now the car wont start at all.

I strongly doubt the guy before me will have added anything other than the alarm, so i think the best bet is that it is something to do with the starter like you suggested. Whereabouts is the starter on a mk1 1.4 energy lump? The cars not in a brilliant location at the moment and i cant get...

The more i think about it, the more it doesnt make sense that an alarm module that doesnt have an immobiliser, would stop the car from starting. What could possibly be causing it?

I wish i could, but the siren is part of the main module, there is only wires going into the alarm module, and im just bothered that if i take the scissors to all of them, then ill be in the position i am now where the car wont start as there is no 12v connection.

Ok ive just been out and had a look - i opened the car using the barrel lock so as not to set the alarm off and pulled the bonnet catch - as soon as i did that however, the alarm went off again. I disconnected the red power wire, and just to test again, tried to start the car - all i got was...

Thanks for that, ill give it a go tommorrow. If finding the correct wires or repairing the cars original electrics goes seriously tits up though, i might do what you suggested previously and cut the wires to the indicators, and find witch wires come from the door switch/ignition sensors and cut...
