Ash007ks Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 It's even stranger than that mate, every time the handbrake goes on the alternator turns off :s I put some new leds in the cluster the other day and they haven't worked so got a feeling it's to do with those.
Gambit Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 That is !Removed! weird :( I think the key is drive it more ;)
Ash007ks Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 Haha I will do :) just had a full 3inch raptor fitted with megan downpipe :):) smiles are big and wide. Going to mess about with the leds now :) was the most bizarre thing ever when I watched the volt gauge when handbrake went on haha
Gambit Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I've hopefully got a Nur spec R coming this week :D can't wait to hear it :) Was going to have the Raptor on the blobeye but it was an import with smaller Cat so made it longer on the uk cars by 5 and a bit inches :o So just put a deracinated center section on :D
Ash007ks Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 Turns out it was the Battery bulb on the cluster that had blown haha :) assorted and back to full strength
Ash007ks Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 I do love the nur specs :) did you have a look on scoob world for the raptor for Yours?
Steveuk260.Esq Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Yeah they have to have so much power or something being used as in the side lights or a radio. I have a full PC and screen going so I think that gives it all the power it need's. You sure it's not just the battery. I know the blobeye in the garage if it's left for 3 or 4 days just with the alarm it's a **** to start needs the battery charging a bit.You must had really bad Battery I sometimes dont run my 03 blob for a week and it start like it just came from factory.
mfnick Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Yea sounds like a dud Battery that Gambit. On more than one occasion I've not run mine for 2 weeks and it's still started at the first turn as well. That was over Winter too and we know how much batteries don't like cold weather. Good to hear your charging problem is sorted Ash. 1
Ash007ks Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 yeah mine can be left a little while as well, i suppose it depends on the start up drain, and what alram/tracker is draining the Battery. took it for another blast tonight :) however i think the exhaust may be chucking the fueling out as ive done 100 miles and already down to a quarter of a tank from £40 :/ also after giving at a good blast at a set of light i noticed some white smoke, it was pretty cold where i was so im hoping it was just the exhaust been warm, cause it hasnt done it since.
Ash007ks Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 Got my hands on a Group N rally Induction vent for the bonnet, im a bit 50/50 with it the moment, looks alot better since i wrapped it in carbon but may need another one just to set it off, used some snow foam and gave her a quick once over, and then 5 mins after i finished there was a cloud burst
Ash007ks Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 i love the look, and at night im running a whole 3 degrees cooler on oil temp :)
Ash007ks Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 well decided id give the girl a good wax as its been a long time coming, with the products i ordered the other day i set about the car, i had two waxs to choose from, my victoria concourse wax or the dodojuice blue haze. As the dodo juice was a tester pot i thought id give that a bash, and all i can say is the wax is super easy to use and buff off, nothing like what ive used before and the results, well ill let the pictures do the speaking. 3
stants Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 This now means I have to do mine before Sunday, was planning tonight but I can't be arsed. Can't have you upstaging me !
Ash007ks Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 Haha be a !Removed! first it's usually the other way around and me having the dirty car haha ;)
stants Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Looks good though, did you just wash and wax or cut & polish too ?
Scoobyghost Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Oh dear. The swear filter works on tapatalk now too. Even blocked the word bloo dy
Ash007ks Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 Washed the other day, gave it a quick detail with Victoria detailing spray which is a Polish etc and then blue hazed waxed it :)
Jay762 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Great job there Ash looking good - cant beat a bit of censorship
mfnick Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 That does look nice and shiney! May have to try some of that Dodo stuff myself. Mine isn't getting a clean haha. I did it last weekend and even though it's not moved all week its managed to pick up a layer of dust and by time I get to Whitby and back it'll be a right mess again.
Ash007ks Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 yeah thats what im going to use the quick detailer for just to top it up.
Ash007ks Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 Race Logic Coilovers fitted and front and rear Alloy drop links, also got some nice Gen STI Fog Covers but they arent going on just yet. Today im going to have to raise the car slightly as im scraping really bad, this is due to the coilovers being set up for a different car, so ive booked into the specialist in Leicester for full laser alignment and fast road setup :) Undersealing to happen as well if the weather holds off, Stay tuned folks. heres some pics that are from the meet last time and also from when i went to castleton :) 2
mfnick Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Some great pics there mate! Are you taking it to Carnetix in Leicester? That's where I'm going to take mine for setup when I've got all my parts through :)
Ash007ks Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 i am indeed matey, Glenn recommended them, and upon speaking they sound very professional, they sit me in the car and adjust it for what roads and my body weight
