Prepped the car for winter.

Jake ref the camera badge how much would you charge to make another please!!

 

[jake]

In all seriousness it's easy once you get into it. I was going to send mine away to be done, but glad I did it myself,

In the end I binned off the rc servo and used a solenoid. Much better.

Just contemplating winter tyres

[CraigFrTsi]

Yeah but when it comes to electronics I'm useless and I'd just wreck everything with my pig-tit fingers lol, so was curious if you'd do another one for a fee as you've now got the experience

 

[jake]

Lol. There wiring would need to be done at your end,

It's not really something I'd like to tackle again,, it was a bloody nightmare haha

You just told me its easy, lol. So you wouldn't be tempted to make another then, as for wiring I'm only couple of hours away I could pop up one day if I can twist your arm lol

 

[jake]

Haha. The badge is the easy bit. The airings the pita

You need an interface too

Nick is round the corner from you who did the original guide he was going to make mine, speak to him. Link to thread is a page back I think

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Ok cool will pester him then lol

 

[jake]

Spotted steaming up Manchester Road yesterday, outbound Rochdale.. looking well...

 

[jake]

Haha cheers bud.

Had the car mapped today. And as thought it made a huge difference. Not had much chance to test it but did get some quick logs in before home time just to see what it was doing.

It's scary how quick the decline comes up lol

Here's the best log I got. My private rds not the longest.

[jake]

Fitted the footwell led lights today. Really easy to do and pretty cool too

Next job was to sort tbs winter wheels out for the tyres which came today.

I thought to myself, with winter being so mucky what colour can I get away with not cleaning n just leaving for a while. I'm sure you'll agree this is perfect for hiding the dirt.

 

[big eck]

Hehehe. They look really good superb actually.

 

[jake]

I'm trying to decide on summer tyres. But stuck between

Pilot 3

Vred ultrasseca

Eagle f1

 

[big eck]

I've had both the vreds and the F1s and the F1s come out on top. They wear pretty quickly tho as they have a pretty soft compound. Grippy as hell tho in both dry and wet weather.
