NZR: small car battery required
Try a 12V battery our of a UPS or emergancy lighting. I have one that I use to run the starter for my R/C Plane and heli had it 2-3 years and only charged it once. also used it when i was testing out mods on my headlights. the thing lasts for ever so far.

Just Had my MOT
Just had my MOT car has been stood for almost a year and its time i get her back up to scratch. so guess what she PASSED!!! but wanted to know if the emmisions are good CO 0.67% Pass i know but should this be lower? HC 118ppm Pass is this good? limit for a fail is 1200ppm LOL tipical zed though worked fine the other day, but when i filled her up to go for the MOT she would not go over 2500RPM my first thoughts were 'oh great fecked MAS' but got to the MOT place, had a play with the wiring and then got called over for the mot early :( thought oh great, but what do you know she was fine, was just a lose connection i just had enough time to reconnect it lol infact i had to leave the nose panel off as i didnt have time to put her back on. good job i know the mot people, well my old man does he works there lol.

Free flowing exhausts on turbo cars...?
If i am correct its not so much of an issue on Turbos but i know on N/A's you need to get the size and length correct etc. as you need just the right back pressure and so on. however on a turbo the turbos create a lot of back pressure (think its about 20psi) so a free flowing is best. so in simple n/a = needs x backpressure turbo = as free flowing as possible. sorry if i am wrong but thats how i think it works from what i have read. Also know the lengh of inlet manafolds also makes a difference but thats another topic.

New LED project...
no problem :) also getting the LED to stick to the the chip is a pain in the backside. you need fine flexible wire or it will bind up.

New LED project...
Darn My secret is out lol I did this serveral months ago when i had all my center consle out lol. its looks stunning but you need to modify they plans they give you though. first you need to put some small card between the leds or the colors of the one next to it leaks through. also you need to align the leds directly under the marks.

Resistance?? Help required!
I beleve you can use one resistor per LED for the bright ones, and one resistor and the dim LEDs in parrelel :)

replacing bulb in drivers side window control with LED
It can be done but its a bitch to do, as a LED is very directional with its light output, you need to really remove the switch then the little panel with the wiper logo on it and feed the LED in from that end so it points towards you.

other options then HID?
Do what I did, take the lights apart and clean every thing inside then go to homebase and buy the bulbs you put in them high power torches (make sure they are the 12v ones) you get 2 in a pack for something like 2.99 and they are 100W I have checked them on my own car and all the wiring and nothing is overloaded with them and they work superb. plus they put out a nice white light rather then the usual yellowy light.
