Didnt get the car extremely low , but considering the hill in our yard up to top shed where i park it its low enough to just not scrape

Thanks Lol made the eyelids out of what farmers call "silage tape " its 3 inch wide black duck tape but it sticks far better than normal duck tape , simplicity !

Which would look better that opened grille or stock pre facelift grille ? I cant decide .....

Finished the unit for subs/speakers

Silver sprayed on , then they got 3 good coats of laquer , my dog waters every bloody wheel around the place and if he makes these rust after me sandblastin ill be quite "pissed" off !

Always count on ade to break that awkwardness and reply to the terrible blog :p lol
Pretty much stealing other peoples ideas for wheel covers but meh.....
 
Ah in fairness the car is mechanicallly perfect but thats where i stop , ! Needs looks worked on.
I was thinking of leaving the wheels so the laquer could fully set , really dont want dog pissing on them and rusting them after all the effort of sandblasting them !
 
I am jealous. I have been saving for a long time for one of them.. Just spent that money on some wellers... FACEPALM.
 
Questions :
With regards the wideband sensor , does it matter how far from the manifold it is on the exhaust ?
And when im welding in the piece for the bung to scew into , how far in or near the centre of the exhaust should the bung be when its screwed in ?

Unrelated topic question , went about wiring amp , there was a third small wire on the power loom , dont know what its for , anbody know ? REM is on the slot where i think it should go

Thats what it looked like before i put it on ,

Question ,
With ma10 block and about to put on ma12 head which gasket kit will i buy ? Ma10 or ma12 or does it make a difference? Just about to order here now
 
Today i hope to strap up exhaust more , i feel its not held up enough , then play around with lc-1 and learn how to use that , then today/tomorrow probably make spacer for SU and im all set for SU then , :)
my big problem now is they have changed laws in ireland , i used to be able to just not tax my car and my friend moved it with his garage insurance , but now theres new laws that you have to sign it of the road if your not taxing it in advance , and id kinda nee to drive it on road while using lc-1 right ? Dont know how ill cross that bridge ,
 
Hmmm stiuck there then mate. You really do need to drive about to see what adjustments u need

Im going to talk to my uncle about closing off the farmyard road , id only half half mile but it might take me out of trouble , wont get big speed but ill get something i guess

Bought the tint, put it on and had a heat gun ,
And ripped it off because i didnt like it :p

So its like this now:

Wired up my lc-1 but its blinking 7.2 constant on the gauge , i calibrated it as i ahould have and all , i checked the sensor and it did heat up , cant find why its doing this !
