how much did the valet cost you phil?

 

[Forbez]

More importantly, how much was the inlet to be polished and, when will i fit the gauges?

What wiring did you use for the gauges Phil? (Please note i have no knowledge at all of wiring, and what to use etc.)

 

[PhilW]

valet was 25 quid, i think that was mates rates tho.

Inlet and dynatwist polished with the clips sprayed black was 100 quid cash.


Wiring, **** knows, nicked some bell wire from work. lol


Having my windscreen replaced as i cracked it somehow.

LED's just turned up from wing wong land for my gauges and i finally got my male/female sump plug for my temp sensor.

Gonna bin the carbon cannister today as well.

HID's tomorrow as well.



Tom, does that mean you got internet now at your gaff?

 

[acidstrato]

wing wong land lol

iv changed my mind again now, i think i gotta get hids

 

[Forbez]

Had a letter today, saying it'll be thursday for the net, Dumb fu(ks at talktalk!

I' bought an adapter from Merlin motorsport, at castle coombe for the gauges, had about two days after i was up your place phil.

 

[Forbez]

Oh btw the HID's looked complicated at first, but they are piss easy phil!

The only connections to the car, are, the two spades connecters, into the plastic connecter that plugged onto the old headlight bulb, the other wires all connect between the HID light and the Ballast.

 

[PhilW]

Oops! Just editing my sig, and i've gone all doolally!

 

[PhilW]

Just fitted the LED's in the gauges. Much better now, no more pinkness.


Still waiting for the RAC to turn up to do my windscreen.

Might fit the sump plug now.

 

[Forbez]

Take some pics then Philipo, so it'll point me in the right direction!

Wish i wasnt in work! But then again, its money.

 

[davidol]

HIDs removed just sorting my horn now as well as i had some parts left over when i sorted the steering wheel grinding lol

 

[PhilW]

Get in. cant wait to get them, cheers dave.


What you want pics of tom?

 

[Forbez]

the adapter and where your fitting it.

Dave - your the wire man, what wires are needed for wiring in the gauges??

 

[davidol]

normally ignition live, llumination and earth, all can be picked up neatly on the back of the dash mounted lights switch.

 

[acidstrato]

for my gauges in the cupra R slot i tapped mine into the fag lighter light

 

[Forbez]

Thats a good idea actually carl.

Dave, i meant, like type of wiring, ie amp levels..etc.

 

[davidol]

personally i'd just use halfords cabling on the electrical accessories stand, 17 amp would be more than enough, in fact 10amp should be fine too

just match the gauge of the cable to the cabling already fitted to the bulb holders

 

[Forbez]

that'll be fun, trying to work that out.

Cheers Dave.
