I wanted to try something a bit different so bought some smoothed black bullets from a member on here, sprayed them silver and, well the pictures speak for themselves. Going to fitted to a flame red 172 tomorrow. Turned out better than i expected, really like them.
The vinyl lettering was...
ODB reader is an ELM-327 USB
not very good pics but just took these of my laptop screen
obviously reads and or resets faults and turns off warning lights
Software used is called Digimoto. I know the book speed is 7 seconds, so how accurate is this likely to be? i would have thought it was correct if its reading from the cars ECU. the worst time did was 6.9 with the esp on and which gave a bad clutch burning smell afterwards, i assume it was the...
I had a little with play with my laptop/OBD reader last night and was just wandering how accurate they are when timing 0-60 and 1/4 mile sprints. My car is a standard 2004 172 and all the times i recorded (about 5-6 runs)were under 6.7secs, but the best are on the pic below. Are these good, bad...
I've just hooked it up to my laptop and the knock sensor code had cleared itself. Also managed to manually clear the p0420 code and switch off the orange EML which i couldnt do before so hopefully all problems are now sorted:D. Not that there was any running problems anyway, just worrying seeing...

Just done an oil/filter change and found this brownish coloured connector unplugged and hanging loose. I've plugged it back in now but what is and what does it do? No idea how long its been like that but I've had no problems with the car
Its 3M 1080 carbon vinyl from. Ebay. Didnt prep the surface just give a good clean, hopefully it wont peel off. Heated it with a cheap 4 quid hair dryer from argos
bought a spare set of fog light surrounds to have a play around with, quite pleased with the results as I've never wrapped anything before. also did the rear bumper trim. I will be starting a for sale thread for the original surrounds and enough spare vinyl if anyone is interested.
Next job...
easy if you know how to take the bumper off, I changed mine for a new one but then that started leaking a few weeks later. cant be arsed to fix it again
