Nice car and welcome.... The only way to save yourself from carrying on is to leave the forum otherwise stay and slide down the same slope everyone else is on here ha.
-
welcome to the forum
-
nice car mate i swear ive seen it before lol
-
Hi & welcome. How do you find the Pioneer ?.I've got the AVIC-F92OBT in mine & so far it's been great BUT didn't have the handbook so still playing to get the best from it.
Have ordered one from Pioneer & waiting for it to turn up. :smiley:
-
Cheers for the comments, i kind of like being on the slippery slop :signLOL: yeah i really like the pioneer unit the bluetooth is really good aswell
think i need to get the handling sorted next though

next on the list is to change to a K&N filter,make an airbox for the filter & sort out an engine cover.
Then some anti roll bars to make it handle slightly better.

Also a better shot of the boost gauge fitted

Car looks great. Any chance of larger pics?
+ any pics of the new lights before the HID police arrest you? :party:
EDIT: Beat me to it! :grin:
-
Ill sort some larger pic's, most forum moan when you whack on full size pics so i tend to keep them smallish.
The police are pretty cool round my way, plus ive got the excuse of i just bought the car and they were on it :signLOL:

Happy with how the cover came out, just need to tidy up the side where you can see into the airbox
-
Looking good mate, with your engine cover, does the whole cover have to be removed to take the silver part off? I was messing with mine earlier but didn't want to be too heavy on it incase it cracked!
Already snapped my plate surround being heavy handed today. :confused:
-
Yeah, had to pull the air box off then theres four clips which pop out and two clips thats need to be heated up to remove them.
-
Ok, thanks mate, looks like a job for when I am feeling patient then! :drinking:

Small update on my progress....
