What did you and your MKV do today?
stealthwolf:
I don't think he even posted it but he was prosecuted on the basis of a youtube video that was seen by an American cop (from what I gather).
I'm sure one of the mods will post about this but essentially you're talking about advocating illegal street racing. You wouldn't post up on how to break into a house, how to steal a car. Postin about racin other cars falls into the same category IMO.
ROH ECHT:
That's cool, thanks!
Note to Mods; Apologies, yeah?
So today I picked up some pieces that will allow me to modify my BSH pcv stage 1 / plug cap. I hope to add a fitting to the intake plug that can be capped off until I want to clean the intake valves. When I need to clean them I'll unplug the fitting, insert the tube of the cleaner, and proceed with the spraying and cleaning process. The idea is to eliminate the hassle of placing the cleaners tube into the throttle hose/body like you'd need to with SeaFoam &/or 3M cleaners. I wanted to make this process much quicker and easier as it is a pain to get the hose off the throttle body, then placing the cleaner tube just right. I first need to make sure that the spray will not be misdirected through that part of the intake manifold. If so, Ill look at another point that would place the spray perfectly. I'll update in case anyone is interested when it's your time to clean off the intake valve build-up.

Went out in mine as normal and the service light has come on and told me I've got 600miles til the next service. Only had it done end of feb but i have done nearly 10,000 since then

Ooh, def put up picture of them fitted. I just ordered Osram Night Breakers but think these might go in my high beam and Philips in my main beam. You know they're not technically legal, yeah? :scared:

How come you say they are not technically legal? They're just uprated H7's with a slight blue tint..... no?

Ok, they're not technically illegal. They ARE illegal. It states on the back of the packet that they are for off-road use only in the UK and to check with the country's regulations elsewhere in Europe.
I'm not against them, probs will get myself a set tbh, but just so you are aware. Hopefully you shouldn't get any trouble from the five-oh as they'll mistake them for Xenons. Being only 5000k they should flag up the same 'boy-racer' look of HIDs in a halogen housing headlights. :happy2:

Have you actually ever seen these bulbs when they are turned on??? They really aren't like a chavvy strong blue colour at all and are only 3400k :stupid:
More of a crisp white with no yellow tone to them like the originals i had on there, there is an ever so slight light blue glow around the reflector but the beam is white and i think looks great :P
