Well my Drl bulbs arrived from china today not bad they only took two weeks to arrive. I've got my Genlabs Drll2 thingy so all I have to do is hand all that over to my dad ( the electrics guru !!! ) and figure out how to run all the wires from the backs of the Btcc front grill thingys into the engine bay and find a way of getting the wires though the bulk head and into the fusebox!!!

Def a job for my dad........

Im also currently making a custom holder for my Samsung Galaxy note 2 ( big phone ) and my Ipod so they both sit in the same holder whilst in the car and save me having to hold um in my hand....

Just got into my car and had an error come up "afl directional lighting error see owners manual" can anyone help??

Not sure if his is the same but I had afs inoperative see owners Manuel. Plugged vcds in and fault was lights not coded. I removed the lights and unplugged a connector inside them and reconnected and so far the fault has gone.

Winter checks.

Oil and water
Screen fluid
New spark plugs

New pcv valve but they didn't send the new hose

I fitted it but the car ran pants so I'd say I do have a failed valve

Does the old one have a check valve?

Got the wheels done gloss black for winter today and just got them fitted. This is the best pic I have at the moment due to the shitty weather.

For anyone interested their has been a back to back comparison with a friends golf R with evoms and same map as myslf with same mods including intercooler. We found the REVO car to make a max of 305g/s at 7099rpm with the evoms it was 282 g/s. Still very good but a noticeable difference. Fuel trims were 6.1% on REVO and 4.8% on Evoms to :)

Well today I finally got round to fitting my r32 front breaks. Was a lovely day so I set to it, only took a couple of hours and Im so happy with the result! Not only does it stop soo much better, it also really looks the part sitting inside the front wheels ;)

Here's a before and after

Before:

Car looks great, good colour choice & combo - not that I'm biased :D I'm up that way next week I'll keep an eye out
