This is the problem. The MoT tester is gonna notice how bright the lights are and wont take 2 seconds to notice a mod like that, which might start em asking questions. Plus you have to butcher a set of lights to fit em! Curious and curiouser! Wonder if Paul C knows? Oh, Paul............................................... Nick :cool:

Axle stands are what I use now, but when the car is up in the air on all 4, its not the safest place to crawl underneath, especially not when u want to start writhing things off that are a bit tight under there. Thought that if this was all secured up there then could hammer, writhe and attack things with as much gusto as possible without worrying. Daft thing is I dumped 2 perfectly good ramps, that we used to have in our race truck, a few years back that would have been an ideal basis for a DIY version of this! Oh well. Nick :cool:

Cos Mate, Seen all that stuff on the bacofoil job (no offense Iain!) but its the new fangled HID upgrade that I'm interested in learning about, especially as theres a group buy going on for it at the mo. Just trying to establish if its worth doing (anything is worth doing when lights are this shite) instead of/as well as all the other tweaks. Nick :)

22 guys chasing a bag of wind across a meadow??? I think not! Give me rugby any day! Shrimpy, its obvious now! Oh no, another mighty morecambe supporter. One of the lads in our office is forever rambling on about em and goes to loads of the matches. Something about there being some Burnlet fans in with the Accrington lads on the Boxing day match he was wittering on about today. Still, we musnt hold this against you!! :) ;) Nick :cool:

Not being a great fan of electric string and wiggly amps I aint so hot on what this new HID light upgrade is all about, so can someone give me some gen on it please! Whats it all about? Is it still necessary to do the COS reflective style upgrade as well? What bulbs do you have to use and do they cost an arm and a leg? They appear to light the road up much better (seen the TTNet piccies) but are they legal over here? Ta Nick :cool:

Bloody hell, that was quick!! Thanks Nick

Oh b0llowx, meant to post this in general discussion. Can one of u kind moderators move it over for me please!!! (Its late for me having been up since 5am!!) Thanks Nick :nono:

I must have me one of these!! kwik lift Would save jacking the motor up everytime you need to do a job on it. I sense an order going in to the steel stockist and some dust being removed off the old welding machine!!! Nick :cool:

Cheers Paul :bow: :D :bow: Nick :cool:

Wot do we expect from someone who drives a Honda!!! Nick :cool:

Where's Paul C when u need him!!! Mine was done on the rollers with no problems and I have known my MOT Tester for donkies years. He does take the old fellas Range Rover out on the road and tests it witha device though, but laways thought that was cos it was a 4x4. Paul will tell us.................................. Nick :cool:

I like this! :D

Anyone know whats happened to Europa car parts? I bought loads of stuff off em in the past but cant find em anywhere now. Searched tinternet to no avail. Need to price up some of the Cobra bits I have left. Anyone seen or heard of em on their travels? Nick :cool:

Errr, isnt that a 4 door, not the normal 2 door coupe style? Nick :cool:

Trust Duffers to turn a perfectly good request for "arse istance" into an opportunity to mention butt holes! :D :D Nick :cool:

He's an estate agent!!!?? Arent they banned from here!!? :D :D Welcome on board, looks like you timed it right for as good ride too!!! Nick :cool:

Roy, This worked fine yesterday came back to finish looking today and it dont work? Just comes up with an error message in jap. Any clues? Nick :cool:

Sounds like ditching the airbox is a good idea. How much is an apexi or simialr set up going to rob me, just out of interest? Nick :cool:

My insurance was due over christmas 300 quid on classic with Carole Nash 4000 mile limit I'm 32 Didnt matter as I took the car off the road (about to drop the autobox) and just got storage insurance for 70 quid instead! HTH Nick :cool:

MIke Feeney in the traders section sells em. Nick :cool:

Thanks arthur. Have already spoken to Andy about it. My old man doenst like the front spoiler and its a flamin long way away too!!! Nick :cool:

Thanks Paul. So it shouldnt be too hard to get holdof connectors to make up a dianostic cable to connct up the computer to the car by the sounds of it. Unlike the 300 where its cheaper to buy conzult than the connectors!! Nick :cool:

What OBD2 is too old, or our 300s are too old to recognise it? Nick :cool:

Would do if I had any, but unfortunatley I dont. And I dont have a digital camera neither!! Its a 98 4.6 HSE in metallic blue with full beige leather. 60k odd miles dealer history Upgraded 18" Hurricane alloys with nearly new Pirelli scorpions fitted. 2000 light upgrade (clear lenses and stuff) light guards fitted Looks pretty good, but just in the process of changing the servo blend motors on the heating as the distribution motor has failed. I doubt my old fella would want to swop as he wants to release some capitol from the car and would be looking for a cheap 300 (in silver) despite the fact that yours is a nice motor. If you are seriously thinking about getting a P38 rangie then check out http://www.p38a.co.uk as its full of real useful info. Stuff I wish we knew before we bought!!! Nick :cool:

Quiet night in for me too, but still be getting shedded on beer, bubbly and bacardi. All the best to everyone and I look forward to meeting more of you next year! Nick :cool:
