couldn't get the trolley jack under front jacking point, thats why i had to use crap one. in need of a new and safe one as a spare now.

ah, you met the widow maker then lost count of how many times my car has fallen off mine, its the only jack i know of that fits under my car though

never never never trust an oe scissor jack absolutly terrible

need a new one. don't want to have a full on low profile trolly jack rolling about in boot.

Looks lovely!!!

I have a problem jacking my car up too! With it's new 'lowness' i have managed to shear off all but one of my jacking points. Now have to use a wooden block and pick a part of my sill to inflict pain on! Roll on the next M.O.T!

i thought they only fail if the sills are rotton dent dont matter do they

just bought some more new goodies. front fogs, head lamp levers, loom and switch.

when i manage to put these on (if its not that big of a job), i should have tinted the headlamps, cut dip/dim resistor and put HID's back on.

not much of a job is it - tint lamps, HID's, fit levelers, wiring,cut dip/dim resistor, fogs and switch .......... fingers crossed

take a look at this all.

6 sockets on one side and only 4 on other. any ideas? i just bought it like that with the fogs and levelers.

anyone tell me why there is extra 2 on one side?

Buddy you need to try and find the VR wiring diagram i did have one but i lost the link

i could just remove and replace my current one but thats like jumping in the deep end.

hell yeah, i found my solution to stop the rubbing on the arches. but looks a little hmm!

tbh starting to like these bbs rims. design looks good but when it comes to washing em, i'm completely the opposite.

had been thinking alot about sorting the rubbing out; which resulted in either keeping the borbets or the arches, one or the other but now i think i'm just gunna put more spring adjusters in to stop the spring compressing soo much. maybe dangerous on bumpy roads i know but will look aces. just need someone to touch the paint work up.

sounds like a plan. is your grille 1 peice or 2 peice btw?

its one piece but i just masked the top bit off when i did some DIY spraying.

its soooo bad on motorways without the spaces. only could get 30 mpg. achieved 35 mpg when i drove it back up from oxford with borbets.

new exhaust to come. just bought it right this moment. jetex 2 box system - 300 notes.

sounds a bargain. be carfully seperating it from the cat. its prob still on original system and might be a ball ache to split. Oxy acetelene may be required

cheers bud, prob get my local mechanic to do it, give him the hard time.

where did you get the jetex for that price!!?? only place i found one was for 550!!! did you get an oval or twin round backbox?

bought it from venom motorsport. you have to call up coz they don't list them on the web. went for the twin round, think it would look better with 2 pipes pokin out that one big PHAT one.

from what i know, as this is a first for buyin exhaust like this, i've bought a cat back 2 box stainless system with twin 80mm pipes.

think it arrived today but i missed delivery so have to get up in morn n collect it. only ordered it weds.
