[arris]

Well got nome today and my parcel from theo on here had arrived, so being a eager beaver and it being the longest day of the year I set to work..

Before


After


Really happy with it, looks smart just need to tidy up the rest of the bay anybody got any recommendations for what to use to clean it and to make the hoses look all shiny and nice?

Looks fantastic. How much did the rns unit set
You back and where did you get it from?

[arris]

I managed to get it of eBay for a bargain. Cost me about £200 but is the DAB model.

Probably the best thing I've done to the car makes the inside loads nicer and so much better than the rcd300 I had.

RNS500 would have been nice but there like double or more :(

Ah someone local! Yeah will do! Not sure if you know but there was bomber country dubs meet last Wednesday at woodcocks that I went to, turn out was a fair few I think because of the weather being nice.
Not sure when next one is tho!

Not done much to this due to work, and having a stag doo then wedding to asttend aswell as family stuff.

Had the day off on monday so decided to give it a wash, and while cleaning the wheels noticed this..


So i told myself that id just leave it as didnt have time to play but 15 minutes later i had the jack out and had it in the air, found out they are AK Coilovers, and there pretty much brand new! got the fronts wound fully down, then had a slight issue of not having a big enough spanner at home to do rears so had to go down unit to get one, heres a pic of the rear with just a wipe..


And finally how its now sitting :)


Unfortunately on Monday i also got pulled over for not having a front plate, luckily got away with just telling them i was on my way to re-attach it :)

Hopefully get a revo stage 1 map next month to make it abit more fun!

lovely looking motor mate, love the seats.. u had it mapped yet? any ideas who you will be having it mapped with?

[arris]

Thanks yeah i love the seats :)

Nah it isnt mapped yet, and im unsure yet, i think ill be getting it revo'd but not sure where at yet, theres a local place or i may take it to ryan@garagemidnight.

nice photography and the car looks spot on

[arris]

Thanks not much to update on this, havent had time to do anything to it :(

Did fit this the other week..


Was pretty easy just followed the guide on here and took me about a hour or so.

Had engine management light come on during week so took it back today, and turns out its the carbon canister so they ordered a new one and its going in on thursday.

Want to order up some new bulbs, am i right in thinking i need 4x h7 bulbs to do main and dipped beam?
Another thing i want to do is disable the seat belt alarm for passenger seat, as i put my bag on there and it keeps going off :(

Only a small update got these buttons fitted Friday.

Hopefully have few more parts turn up this week and maybe get it washed at some proper photos of how it sits now its been lowered.

Looking good mate, AP coilovers, same as I have fitted to mine. Good quality and ride with them I find.
