It sure is. And they sure do. Especially when you fiddle with the lights and make them extra nice.is that Finland, judging by the tree's?

Your fogs use T10 bulbs? Can I see what they're going into?You wouldn't be able to recommend a bright t10 led (red) just I need something for my foglight as normal red bulbs go white quick and some red LEDs are just too dim

Yeah it uses the reflector and yeah cause it's a later facelift march light and I'm using the reverse ,Your fogs use T10 bulbs? Can I see what they're going into?
Assuming it's a reflector housing with a lens, I guess the best option after a regular T10 would be one of those new COB LEDs. Not the cheapest but they're bright, work alright in a reflector usually, and can be red. I don't know if the red ones are as bright as the white ones though.

So are you using the right reverse light as a fog light? I'd be surprised if those are T10, that would be too small, you sure they aren't T20? My lights are.Yeah it uses the reflector and yeah cause it's a later facelift march light and I'm using the reverse ,
I've tried the 5 bit led dash/side light and they are crap , filiment bulbs go white really quick (it's uses the same fitment as a t10 but bigger bulb forgot the model lol)

Hey. I used the CGA3 ECU. Apparently the CG10 ECU underfuels under load. You can use it though.Hi mate, loving the engine swap!
Did you use the CG10 ECU or the CGA3 ECU?
That was an emotional read. It makes you think just how much your life would be different without our little #### boxes. We've all done so much with our cars, both working on them and also doing life things. So many memories because of these pieces of tin, they aren't just cars to us anymore but friends in a way to accompany us through new things in life.Best Photos of Cassie

LolAt least wait for me to write the text first!
I just drove home in exceptional heavy rain on the motorway. That pipe isn't sucking air in, it's just guiding it to the filter, water won't be a problem.
It won't be the rocker cover as I just changed that gasket. I mean, that was leaking too, but that was a different leak.Sump gasket?, Rocker cover, timing cover, looks a fairly new sump or just me?,
Looks decent on steelies with the colours , be putting mine one soon if it snows ect kill the old tyres off lol, also not the crank seals,?

I figured I'd have a go at fixing the door rattle. It's been driving me insane! With even moderate music volume the bass rattled the door. It was a bit better with the window open a little.
View attachment 66440
After lots and lots of prodding and tapping (using Blue Monday as a bass-y test song), I found two rattles. One, which was very minor, was coming from between the window motor and the door panel, at high frequencies. I fixed this by taking the extra foam (used to fill up the deeper parts of the doors) and chopping it a bit, and taping it in place.
View attachment 66441
But that wasn't the main problem. It was beginning to get dark, and I eventually found the main bad vibes. It was the speaker itself. The way it was mounted to the door panel. The three screws holding it in place weren't exactly tight, but they wouldn't get tighter. Pulling the speaker away stopped the vibrations.
So I took the rest of the foam, and lined the back of the speaker.
View attachment 66442
At first, that seemed to do the trick. But unfortunately it just replaced the vibration with a new kind of noise. So I'll have to look in to that again later. I'd also like to upgrade these speakers.

I replaced an already-blown number plate bulb.

I tried to adjust my left headlight. It's been pointing way too high (something that really annoys me to see!) The adjustment motor had gotten stuck on, so I unplugged it. I twisted the manual adjustment screw all the way until the top broke. Even then, it's aimed too high, but it's much better at least.
I'm just going to put on one of my spare sets. There's so much wrong with these headlights.
