i fed the rear one through the rear bench then under the isofix bar mountings and then bolted the isofix bar on top as one, that way they dont hook back on themselves like i had it before.
Just fixed a couple more things, interior boot light wasn't working and the number plate light as well. Looks like the cable are just shoddy and very temperamental. Interior light was easy, simple a bit of glue to hold the connector in place. The number plate light had me baffled as I checked everything and wouldn't work. Spoke to my dad about it (baring in mind he knows nothing about cars/electrics or anything really) He had a look at it and magically it started working, neither us have any idea what we had done, but meh it works now! Saves me some £££ and will now pass an MOT 
Productive day ha!
Productive day ha!
Not done much in the past month really. A group of us organised a RR day at TDI North, which was a total waste of time TBH. All the clio's that were ran seemed to over read massively.
Anyway this is it:
and the list of other cars:
One on the rollers:
I'm not even going to think about what they messed up, but I'm organising an RR day at RSTuning next month. So hopefully I'll have some decent figures to relate to. I'm not chasing power, just generally want to know what, if any, increase's certain mods will do.
I got the chance to buy back my xenons that I had in my 1.2. Now they are odd colours but at the moment I'm not fussed, as I wanted better visibility at night as this it really the only time I drive the T. For the price I bought them back for, I couldn't say no.
Went up to blackpool yesterday to see Paul, promptly got home and got them fitted!
Front end before:
Half arsed bumper off job, left side is done, right still in. (left side is 4300k here)
It got dark, so popped out and got a few snaps on my phone as I forgot my camera.
Xenons off, the front end looks much more aggressive.
Then with the xenons in
I also got my 8000k bulbs back which I ran in the 1.2. Now after fitting them I think they look too blue and pretty crap, so I'm going to run them for a while and see, the 4300k's will probably go back in because I'm just not a fan of how blue they are. Looks Chav-tastic.
I've also been weighing up some carbon options for the new year.
I got a diamond from Jonff that was on his cup, but its gone yellow so I'll need to figure out what I can do to reduce the yellowness of it:
Streamline Carbon have also finished their CF-thumbgrips which I'll be ordering with a few other bits

Yep, It was a nice day.
On a further note, I changed the Bulbs back to what were in before. Now I'm not 100% sure what temperature they actually are, they are labelled Osram, so thats all I know. They are a lot less blue which is what I was hoping for!
Gave the inside I nice details as well, ordered some Raceglaze Alcantara cleaner too along with some other bits so I'll get the seats cleaned this week and get some pictures up.
Hopefully some streamline carbon goodness too
Got my order from Elite Car Care though, with the following goodies; RaceGlaze Alcantara cleaner + Leather brush, Foam Applicator and Generic MF Cloth.
Set out too work on the seats, before:
Drivers Side:
Passenger Side:
Sprayed the seats with the cleaner and left to dwell for a few minutes before wiping with the MF and the hoovering the seats.
Drivers side after:
Passenger side after:
Impressions are its good and does get rid of some of the ground in dirt on the seats, however It looks like the drivers is more worn than covered in dirt. Its as good as it can be after 96k!
Gave the car another was with my Zaino shampoo, which is brilliant! Also gave the car another layer of Zymol Carbon as I forgot to order something more suitable for winter. Before I applied another layer, the car beaded and sheeted really well just after washing the dirt off. Durability is still pretty good but the Gloss seemed to have gone as it was about 2 months ago since I last put any on!
Also swapped my standard airbox back instead of the ph1 box as it was rattling around and annoying me, however when removing it looks like it might not have been that and is something else, ie upper gearbox mount. But I'll inspect that tomorrow as I'm taking the Xenons back out. After 2 weeks I found them to be no better than the standard halogens that are in the T and I actually think the halogens suit the front end of the T.
That's it for now.

Xenon's are back out and have been sold. I ended up technically swapping them for a mint set of halogens with 0 UV crazing or scratching on them with a set of brand new Osram Nightbreaker bulbs in them. The new halogens had Werkstat applied to them go give a good base to the two coats of Zymol Carbon. They are uber clean and tidy now.
Driving at night is so so so much better than with the xenon's. Xenon's look good but the halogens completely out preform the xenons with light spread.
When at oulton park a couple of weeks ago, I weighed the car with half a tank of fuel. 1076 Which sounds right to me!
I'll be ordering a few smaller bits this week that I've been meaning to get for a while.

You're such a detailing ***** Jon.
Love it!!
Love it!!
Read start to finish
I'm actually surprised that its lasted so long in the current place. When the system gets warm as well, the tailpipes stick out a bit further and show off the scorpion logo
Perfect fitment TBH. CheersI'm actually surprised that its lasted so long in the current place. When the system gets warm as well, the tailpipes stick out a bit further and show off the scorpion logo
Mine has two bits of copper plumbing pipe in the mounts and it is progressively getting lower and sticking out further lol... No idea why or how!! Time to get the silicone out and refit I think, but far too cold atm!
Not sure if I mentioned, but I found it resonated far too much with the seat post in mine. The silcone will do a decent job but it will start to sag again, I put a cable tie going around the beam that connects the tailpipes going up to the exhuast mount on the right hand side and makes it fit perfect. The left side was always fine, but the right side would always sag more.
Thought I might as well, as its free to do so at Oulton. I thought you had to pay.
Wow! that's pretty good! yeah deffo worth it seeing as it's free, accurate too, no digital crap from the looks of it?
Quick update, Been over at RSTuning today to have it on the RR.
Did 2 separate runs one with the Ph1/v6 box the other with the ph2 airbox. There's no difference in it, Ph1 airbox has less low down torque but 1 bhp more vs the Ph2. So the Ph2 is back on.
Car made: 178.5bhp < Ph2 setup
and 179.6bhp < PH1 Setup
Also found out the car has a map on it, no idea what map but it revs to 7.5k
Figures are with the above map and a decat back scorpion rs192.

Oh yeah, Hardly anything in it. Wouldn't read much into it though as its so close. But I'd rather sell the Ph1 box and put the standard back on knowing there's nothing there power wise.
I'll get the graphs up tomorrow.
Possibly. Either way, I've sold it now and I'll possibly put a ITG in the Ph2 Box.
