very good :lol:

One of them was my grandad!!!! he sits on 17" alloys and a huge great massive exhaust probs 4", it sounds soooooo bad though way to loud for a 1.2 pug

Ah well im sure it will look class when its done and i hope your taking lots of pics for a how-to when its done so i can copy and make my boot look beautiful

EXACTLY, thats what i thought.

MONEY MONEY MONEY, not having a go but im only 17 cannot really afoord to do engine swaps and buy gti's yet 1 they are too expensive and 2 the insurance would be ridiculous!!! hopefullly will be a good run around though

cheers for the tips but atm this is only a rough guide i am using just so i remember what to do myself when i get time i will update with your suggestions

Pics are to follow right now i am just writing it so i myself dont forget what i am doing! Things you need : - A socket set or similar to remove the wheel bolts (17mm) - A degreaser to clean the wheels - Various grit wet and dry or glass paper. - Masking tape (around 2 rolls) - Several...

1.2 thats why i said light mods because its not worth doing massive stuff as i know you cannot get masses out of a 1.2

I will be using high temperature paint the stuff you use to paint BBQ's, it got a very high tolerance level and can take extreme heats!!!

Right thought it would be a good idea to start one of these just to give you all and idea on what i am doing with my car and get opinions and ideas, wont be as in depth as some others who are rebuilding entire cars but should be enough for people to view and enjoy. I will be posting pictures...

Yep i like saving pennies so i will probs get a 2 farad so when i get my next sub i can add it and have no worries.

Great tip but you could also buy some 'Back to Black' from halfords it actually turns anything black thats faded to look like new. Worked a treat on all my bumpers and stuff!!!

cheers buddy, i got that matte paint as i used it for my interior but would advise lacquering it as it does not give a shine but it protects the paint work, suppose its personal preference though!

Am i right in saying top gear done a little segmant on this, they have built a car that has the same attributes as its engine couterpart and it runs off a hydrogen fuel cell or something like that anyway!

i want to do this in my boot, so pics and a how to would be smashin!! hope it all goes well for you! and i will give it a try after ive done my alloys! shoudl be in the next week, once i can get the F***ERS off

Wow i caused a bit of a debate lol. havent had the chance to look at my battery yet will do soon, i am going to get a capacitor anyway and just go with that, im to lazy to wire in another battery or think of any other solutions , the capacitor seems easiest so im going with that!

Cheers for all your help! pgarner i didnt look that closely but your probably right about the 60 amp thing although my amp cannot take more than 40A due to the inline fuse. I am going to invest in a capacitor even if it has no affect on the headlights dimming ever so slightly, it will put my...

What context are we in? is it a monday night or a saturday night? is it raining or sunny? how much money you got? now my explanation, i would put petrol in my car and do the running on the friday night taking all the drunk people home and charging petrol money, exceeding what i put in in...

Engine is only a 1.2 I must have explained wrong, when the sub is on and a really demanding part comes in (not very often but enough to annoy me) the headlights dim ever so slightly. Also another question, when i was setting up the amp and sub, setting the gain and all that, i must have...

cheers;)

Now you say it green is very tempting :lol:

whats the altinator? I am not the greatest mechanicly lol as you can probably tell

lol no black

Im happy with the outcome and yep knew people wouldnt like the colour but oh well. Alloys are next on the painting list!!!

So a 1 farad capacitor will be sufficient for what i need and thanks for the replies Turbonutter- My earth cable is only 15cm long, my connections are all very good and i have a Juice wiring kit so the quality should be there. I understand what you are saying about bad connections because i...

900w peak so i would only need a 1 farad at most? or is it dangerous to get a higher one? will it damage my gear???

Right another question from me (shock) I have installed my sub and such and when i have the engine running and the lights on they start to flicker when the sub kicks in, i know i need a capacitor but not sure what farad i need. I have this sub running of this amp, it is bridged so any ideas...

if it goes anything like my spraying inside i will be more than happy to post pics and a guide for all those wishing to try a bit of diy. If it goes badly then i have nothing to lose as i would have to get new alloys anyway!!

take them off use wet and dry to get them smooth and then respray them, thats what i am doing next on my car, will update with pics and that, will be next month though as i cant be bothered to do it at the minute and i have some other stuff to fix first!!!

Right here thay are inserted in my car, looks really smart when your sat in there! open to critisism and compliments, but obviously it wont be everyones cup of tea!!! My car not cleaned for couple of weeks, been raining!!! Main console Air vents Thing that covers speedo Door...

so would i be allowed to tint the back then? or would i have to be carefull on how dark it is? i have decided to buy the front ones, not just yet maybe in the next month or two!! funding being an issue!!!

i found a really nice plate but it had an 02 in it so i cant put it on a car older than 02 how rubbish is that?

The issue i had was a little bit of water i had in the bottom of the door handle (serves me right for not drying it properly) its all dry now and the paint stuck fine when i reprayed today, i have 1 coat of lacquer on my items now and am now off to put the second coat on, i have found my phone...

whats a choke?

i had the same problem with my moped when i first got it about 2 years ago, i took it to a mechanic and he said he couldnt do anything and said the easyest thing to do was to replace the light, it was easy for me as it was under warranty but could have been quite expensive

Just finished giving all items 2 coats of paint, looks smooth and sleek, got an issue with one of the door handles- the paint doesnt seem to be sticking to the bottom, will have to re do. I am leaving them to dry and will give them 2 coats of lacquer tomorow would post photos but cant find my...

Lol i am strapped for cash and want to give my interior a bit of individuality, so thought why not? its pretty easy on a peugeot 206 because most things just pop out i have just given it 2 colour coats tonight and will give it 2 lacquer coats tomorow and then install on thursday then on...

Bought some more primer today and coated my last item, not started on the wet and dry yet but have found a few hair imprints (bloody dog) so will have to sand them off and spray it again, majority of the items look really nice just in grey lol

one of the connections fits in really nice but the other is way to big i think i need some adaptors but will have a proper look over the weekend when i have some time, kinda busy during the week painting my dash!!!

NEED some assistance, just got my alpine speakers and am totaly confused on how to fit them they are componants. there are no instructions with them. The main problem is the adaptors already in my car dont seem to fit the speakers. any help would be smashing!!!
