dangerous brain

I also think that this grill sticks out too far at the front. It really does need to be recessed which is why I made my own. I got all the bits I needed from B&Q coming to a heady £35 ish to include a sheet of grill material some high strength araldite and a 90 degree section of ally and a thin strip of ally. I took the bumper off as it was freezing outside not a technically demanding job at all, and fitted the grill in a fashion that I could still unscrew it when the bumper is back in place. You could do it so that the ally 90 section isnt required but post fit removal would require removal of the bumper. I haven't sprayed the ally 90 section yet as time ran out on me and I needed the car back together. I chose the gold grilling as all my badges are gold so i thought zinc wouldn't look right. The whole job really wasn't all that technically demanding and I had enough stuff to do the small holes in the bumper as well as the two brake cooler holes down the side of the car. The finished article is below. http://www.showoffyourcar.com/cars/2279.jpg

Does the above solution sort out the bloody annoying brake light out warning light issue (ie any time the fogs are on it lights up the bulb out warning light or in my case left it on permanently) that I found when I did this MOD without the relays?

I allready paid Branners LOL. Do you know who's the green supra is in the above link? There cant be that many green ones about I imagine !!! Hope its comin to this meet.

Wow just looked at the the pics on that link mawby. The green supra in the hampshire meet section is awesome---who owns that and are they coming to this meet? Also looking fwds to seeing that yellow one as well.

Hey are the sales still on then??? Mrs dangerous would appreciatte soothing them post xmas blues with a shoppin extravaganza an I can doughnut to me hearts content without gettin gyp lol!!! although its a long way back to bournemouth on slicks.

Can count us in, Soton means the motor gets a good blast instead of just around the corner like last time lol. White supra guy did you sort that water in the front lights thing out??? After i bunged the hole in the top of mine up its been fine. Can't promise I won't donut the car park again this time (see if santa puts me some new tyres under the tree) Sunday the 11th in Soton Pompey or Bmouth then

Bloomin eck thats a lot of crap in there in 3000 miles. As i said previously you can profile this metallic debris on a quantity basis at each oil change, if it suddenly starts to get worse you can flog the motor before it goes critical lol.

Well yeah you are just bein picky now lol

I work on aircraft and used to work in the early failure detection side of things. We use mag plugs to monitor the wear in aircraft engines and gearboxes. Its a relatively simple process. Extract mag plug at set intervals ie 3000 miles for instance degrease said mag plug with whatever degreasant you can lay your hands on (we use petroleum ether but white spirit would probably do). Using clear sticky tape dab the remaining metallic debris onto the tape in a 2 pence piece diameter size or smaller. Then measure the ferrous strength (difficult part if you haven't got a debris tester lol) and record result. Stick in a book and watch the profile grow. If there is a problem developing then it will show in an increase trend. If you are really technical you can send the debris to a lab get them to scanning electron microscope it, send you the material spec of debris and then you go to manufacturer of engine and ask em what bit is made of that metal spec thereby knowing which bit is getting buggered. With aircraft stuff we can generally figure out which component within a gearbox or engine is letting go reducing our down time for servicings. You wanna get mega technical and you can sample the oil send this to the lab and they will spectrometrically analyse it (burn the stuff and see how much metal there is in on a parts per million basis) and build a concurrent profile next to your mag plugs. http://www.thomasregister.com/olc/01402593/mag.htm Tedeco make all our mag plugs so its possible they may be able to fit you up with summat.

My N/A releases pressure when you take the fuel cap off as well.

Yep sorry about the doughnut but I really couldn't let the wise ass in the astra gte leave more rubber than us lol. Yes it was me asking about the dash removal. I'm gonna give it a shot and I have a mate of mine at work knocking me up carbon fibre replacements instead as I really cannot be assed to strip that vulcanised rubber crap off. If it goes well and is easy to make then I'll see if he will knock me up a few sets if anyones interested.
