cant see how this warrants a project thread!
pics of you car on standard wheels (because i cant work out which wheels youre talking about), or even with the wheels shopped black!
and what wheels are you thinking of replacing the standards with??
nope, the group buy was for mk2, my mate got a set!! and i believe you can fit them to a mk1 as the topmounts are the same anyways!! might be best getting a second opinion from someone who has actually measured the two though!! lol
sorry if im going off course, but i didnt really want to start a new thread on this,
is camber measured as the degrees over all, asin, if you have 1.5 degrees of negative camber either side, is that a total of 3degrees negative??
im asking because while testing a set up today, with 1.75degrees...
id personally want to seriously address whats been rubbing on the line also!!
something like that should have been spotted at its early stages during the last MOT?!
this!! whilst im a student ive been driving my sisters T plate 1.3 KA,
£300 T&T and i never knew £10 petrol could go so far!!
ph1s are the same engine, just older.....therefore other than the money youll get from selling your 182, youre no better off!
perhaps lay the 182 up, and buy a cheap...
i did a search but it only came up with a dead link unfortunatley!!
so does anyone know where i can get eyelets with the correct size thread to screw them into the b-pillar as the ones i have are a 7/16" thread which is slightly too big!! :(
Ok, sorry ive not updated this in a while!! with christmas, new year and general shocking weather, ive not managed to get out on the car a lot recently!!
however, ive stripped all the interior out of the car (and realised i now need to lower the rear slightly)
all the tar has been removed...
i lowered 60mm+ on standard shocks, it does work but might not handle/ride very well!!
just save a little longer and get a set of raceland coilies, then you can have it what ever height you like!! lol
result, ive removed all the airbags, wiring, side impact sensorts, airbag ecu, pretensioners, and wiring and guess what!!
no airbag light what so ever!! rather chuffed with myself tbh, but have no idea what single changed caused the lights to turn off!! lol
i have an airbag ecu and side impact sensors for sale if you need them never been in a crash either (duh)
and if its a ph1 i also have both the front airbags!
also, rear seats will not have pretensioners, so youre alrigt there!!
providing your chassis is straight, the worst youll need is...
anything from £100 to £1000+!!
if you went to a scrappie, you could probs haggle an engine out of them for £100,
drop it in yourself if you handy with a spanner and off you go,
garage will probs charge 4-5 hours labour so around £250 to fit id imagine.
and thats only if you dont want to get...
these revisions surely mean NO harnesses, as it will be an obvious removal of the pretensioners!!
and also fixed buckets will mean that they cannot be moved back and forth, therefore a fail!!
all these revions are going to do is force people with modded cars to get bent MOTs!
my toy is going...
reading the revions means here(http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/car-servicing-repair/mot-changes-2012.html)
it likely that harnesses and buckets will be a reason for failure!!
as it is an obvious removal of factory pretensioners
and fixed buckets will not move back and forth!!
can you just take the bulb out of the clocks? or will this effect everything else too??
also what other revisions are they bringing in as of 01/2012?? i cant seem to find a decent list!
since when did having an airbag light on mean MOT fail?!
i couldnt care less about the light being on, but my previous cars have gone through MOT's fine with the airbag and SERV light on!!
so what if there is no trace of any airbag system in the car??
i.e all airbags, airbag ecu...
im in leigh-on-sea mate!!
agree with the above, DS2500 on the rear is serious overkill if youre on any kind of budget!!
this is me all over!! damn my student lifestyle and high insurance premiums!!
