Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+
Geektalk indeed but that's what I require! Saw an MX5 with spaz out mode on the other day, I didn't have my wipers on it was such a pathetic drizzle....woman.
Screen now fitted, ta da
Still haven't got the stalk but it's on its way. Pluged into clip it...
it is possible to retrofit anything if you want but you've got to be pretty competant with electronics to do so. There are various relays, the control goes through the ECU. Parts needed would be a new heaterbox, ac rad, all the pipework, assorted bits of wiring and plugs, compressor and bracket...
Your car currently will look like it's got 10mm spacers on each side already then as 172 alloys are et 48.5. If you have a look at my thread your car will be roughly as wide as mine which has sport running gear and 172 alloys.
If it were me I would put the kit on, see what it looks like and...
Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+
@TonkaTruck thanks matey, looks fairly normal to the unsuspecting but it's the detail which I love :) lead time on ideas is rarely longer than a day much to the dismay of my wallet!
@HMS Derv Destroyer haven't got the stalk yet and having had a bit more of a...
Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+
I used to enjoy cleaning cars but absolutely loathed putting so much time into mine at the weekend which is depressing!
Screen being fitted tomorrow. Couple of mild concerns. I've gone into the UCH and under read configurations it shows Rain Sensor not active...
Of course I don't agree with that!
I've had 2 sports, both great if you do very little mileage every year but not if you're doing 20k+ a year and want something that's good in the corners, has luxuries, doesn't cost an arm and a leg to run but also looks good. For £2500 which is what mine will...
If you can shake the arb and it's loose on the bushes then they need changing. Only a fiver a side. Inner arb bushes are always a big improvement. knock is likely to be top mounts as they're crap
Danny170403 Hold the button on the end of the wiper stalk down and then turn the ignition on with the button pressed down. Let it adjust. Ignition off and it'll be sorted.
Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+
Very much enjoying the little whistle from the turbo now.
Gave Claude a thorough external clean yesterday as he hasn't been waxed for 6 months and was in dire need of some attention. Plastics were turning grey and there was a serious amount of tar on the...
Over a grand since September on the DCI. £2000 couldn't have bought me the car I have now so if I did it again I wouldn't do it differently.
Clio=expensive if you can't do your own work
Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+
No worries mate, been in the garage anywho much to the dislike of the grumpy neighbour.
Thought about removing the back box but couldn't deal with the extra noise on the motorway. The wind and road noise is already too much for me! Woman. Do sound good. Alex...
Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+
Finished my exams for a week or so today so got a little bit done to the car as a reward.
Sprayed the other bullet as the other one looked rather nice.
Only when I look at Laurens car do I realise how different it has become with the various bits.
Main...
It's called the r107 connector and has a rubber seal. I fail to see his this can cause any idle issues as once the car is running the interior electrics have little effect other than turning the a/c on and off.
this is the bit from the interior loom
and this is the bit from the exterior they...
Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+
Rather strapped for time at the moment so mods are rather boring. Tonight I took off one of the bullets and gave it a spray. Only one in case it wasn't for me. Pretty poor job but it's something I will likely never take note of.
Other mod coming soon is a...
If you have the windscreen replaced and it occurred before the insurance was taken out you can get shafted for fraud. Glass claims also have an incident date and this of course has to be within your policy schedule dates.
Also you may not be entitled to a refund with a claim on it, depends on...
Thought you weren't modding this one ;)
Really enjoyed the bit about the cough, I'll do some scrapy pipe work. Headlights turned out good too.
Look good low on the standard alloys
well there will be an effect on the handling due to the increased tyre wall if you have idential model tyres. 15" are good for much cheaper r888's, spec 2s etc. £35 a tyre for uniroyal rain sports on 15"
