very nice fozzi mate

so today i fitted some led side lights,much better now,not best picture but can see led nice white light and old crappy dull orange on the other side. while changing the side lights i had the air filter off,was going to spray the tube black or blue same as car as think it looks out place red,so when i removed it i found with it being stuck down in the wing it was dripping wet on the under side and also had been rubbing on body work and had some holes in it so a quick trip to halfords and a cheap £20 cone filter and bit modifying the old tube,think its much better now,also can not feel any diffrence in car with this £20 cone filter to when old £240 filter was on,also did the belt cover as well

dont think my hatch will do much more power with out blowin something its at 320 at minute.

Never use it as soon as light pops on to say air cons on i turn it off.i have drove for 30 year with out aircon so for the 2 weeks we get sun a year i can manage with windows open lol am looking to shed weight off car and also with out it on i can root my intercooler piping diffrent.

welcome to the club Gaz,nice scooby you have their,if the number plate was 1971 then it would be perfect for me

Hmm £300 think i may have to start making them lol Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

was manifold hard to get off,any seized nuts,thinking of gettin a stainless one for my car,but hear they can be a nightmare to get off.

@kershaw-330s i will do some picture of how to get it off on wednesday when i wire gauges up as it has to come back off then,just hope its warmer then today. thanks @Jay762 @Beags i very rarelly use them vents,find car warms up quicker with it set on windscreen,then i just have it on feet n windscreen and leave it their.i bought a single din radio so the gauges would fit under radio but it turned out gauge holder is longer and wouldnt fit ,never thought about moving vent up,could be a idea i could look at doing .

what they like them vxr's are they reliable,bit diffrent but am thinking off getting a vxr people carryer as my daily then it can double up as a quick van as well save the scooby for best.so finished my pod today,will need another rub down and paint in summer as its too cold to do it right now,froze my rear off today,but for now its in the car,off work wednesday so will get the gauges wired up and working then,but for now think it will pass,

Like them.not sure to go blue hoses or stealthy black. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

i have been looking at samco but not cheap,so looking at other options,sure a few on here can advice on them.

made a start on my gauge holder today,only got as far as the first rub down with it getting dark so early.up early tommora to crack on with it,sould have it finished,was hoping to do it all tommora but looks like the gauges wont be in till next week,3 days off work so can do them then instead off rushing,couple pics of the gauge holder

Will be makin a panel up weld in, smooth it,paint it.most car panels have some sort void behind them,but got gauges to do first then on with bit body work. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Glad your sorted.looks like jay was right with the harness.Alpine are a good company so customer service sould be good as well. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

best thing to do is email these https://www.alpine.co.uk/support.html they will tell you straight away if they will work or not.

are you sure its a Alpine INE -S900F look't on alpine website to find specs and see if its supported and theirs no Alpine INE -S900F ,if it is the lowest model it wont support it,also if its a old discontinued model most probly wont support it,i have a alpine head unit with no support for steering wheel controlers

head unit most probably dont support steering wheel controls,wont have anywere to plug connector in,if you pull radio out their will be a square connector just hangin their,thats for steering controllers,not all after market radios support controls.

I would like to let mine tick over till at temp but at 5am in mornin my naighbours probly would not see that as a good thing [emoji3] so i start it up and keep off boost n no more the 3000rpm till warmed up.coming home from work i let it warm up as no naighbours to upset [emoji6] Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
