Sanding and plenty of it ;)

Apparently located 5mins drive from me! might go have a viewing at the weekend ;)

Ive got 2 of the 3.3ohm ones from Maplin on the way back home this eve but couldnt see the part of the plug to put them into on the orange one. On the ph2 yellow ones it looks fairly straight forward Got an 300mm OMP Trecento from @daveski its spot on but going to take a while to get used to...

Anyone know the best way to do it on the ph1 with the oranage plug and white ribbon cable? http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p209/topgeartom/guide/DSCF2771.jpg Looks totally different to the guides... im guessing these are for the ph2?

Thanks Bobby. So i got round to getting rid of this tonight :) Only question is how do i do the resistor mod on the early ph1 airbag with the orange plug? mine isnt like this one.... http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh34/Jambob28/DSC02335.jpg but like this with the ribbon cable...

if it was a 1*2 and half the price it might just be worth it to put it back to standard but i wouldnt pay £1 for it as it is!

tbh i wouldnt bother... they have a rubbish field of vision.

will do, will get some pics up. its on the long list of things to do inc the bump. all should be done this weekend though :)

Cheers AlexW Ive got some marine grade silicone that i used for buildign a fish tank so that'll probably do the job nicely :)

Ok.. so will take a look at the weekend when its not raining hopefully does anyone think the ph2 aerial base will look w**k at the front of the ph1 or not?

So im guessing the roof lining doesnt have to come off? just the light surround?

Dont have a sunroof ;)

Probably coming through from the aerial, well im pretty positive its coming through from there. Question is... whats the best way to tackle this? Roof lining off, light surround off and some sealant on the inside of the aerial base? Would it be a good idea to upgrade the arial base at the...

Thing is in the UK any 1*2 is easy to come by at the moment in good condition for not much money and really begs the question other than having more money than sense why you would want to do this? As Dom has said above really! its just a no brainer when you add up the costs and effort. I...

Looks great Mark! Those HID's really do look like they'll be a whole lot better than the standard candles! how is your induction setup made? is it the DIY K-tec variety?

Breifly thought about the poor thing sitting in a resturant car park in the middle of nowhere! Only briefly mind as im fast loosing interest! if it wasnt for the fact i need it fixed for christmas and because its also my daily i'd leave it there!

I prefer ITG filters but i think it really does come down to personal prefrence.

Wouldn't really recommend a k&n for anything other than being cleanable tbh so if that'd the primary reason then its not a bad move, if its for a very slight and I mean slight if any performance gain there is better filters out there

Could be just that your driving less meaning your stop/start is more which will bring down mpg if that makes sense Either that or its worth checking to make sure your air filter, spark plugs and other service items are good

personally i'd add a 2000 on top of that just to be sure... makes for less effort polising to ;)

By any chance could this be the fact i have replaced the crank sensor and not replaced the plug/cable that came with it?

Very nice Mark.. Have you any pics of the HID kit in action? Will surely be getting some for mine once ive sorted my running issues

Would any pop up if the engine light hasnt come on to say a fault has been registered?

No idea tbh, i cant be sure what limp mode should be like. Im guessing though that it would still give some power? This felt like it had nothing especially when under any sort of load.

anyone?

Either that or its a typical case of french car syndrome!! So after my issues with crank sensor/battery end of last week i managed to get it sorted saturday.. sunday car was driving perfectly! This morning on the way to work the car decided to play up again... Oil light and battery light were...

This should be the way the OP should do it. Will maintain that you don't need anything harsher than 1200.

Yes you may have been doing it 13 years but seriously anything more than 1200 is a waste of time! Many have already proved this to be the case and i do believe its come up quite recently 800 on plastic lights is just creating more work for yourself IME

Tbh from what ive read those kits arent great and require quite a bit of work to get the desired effect. I recently did mine on my Ph1 with wet & dry and some fast cut on the rotary polisher. However if you dont have a DA or rotary you can work it on by hand or some scratch x but it will just...

Thats ok @Bobby. i picked one up from ECP in the end, didnt actually need it though but least i know its done now. Bus journy back into town was horrible enough for me not to want to be without the car again though!
