Is there much difference between the two hardnesses I'd rather not make the car rock solid.

Sorry to hijack the thread, is there a difference between vtis and vti ect front end bushes? Chris

rite a little update on the the car. i took the positive lead off the car last night when i went to work and this afternoon i reconnect it and the light has gone out and stayed out, had a run to the end of the street and back( mot has run out while i've been waiting for the sensor ) and the light has stayed out. on the subject of new vs 2nd had sensors, whos to say the motor factors sensors are going to last half as long as the OEM parts, going on how long bushing ect last from them i dowt they will be as good a quality. i've not missed having abs if anything i could stop quicker without it pulsing away far to early.... cheers for your help guys, be glad to have my car back after putting up with a saxo.... chris

from looking at the manual, how it reads to me is the when the car is turned off and back on the light should go out an then come back when been driven, mine is on permantly. just to check but to reset the abs ecu do you just pull a lead off the battery or do you have to pull a fuse as well? i need to get a multi meter and check the sensor. cheers chris

hi guys, i'm having problems with the abs on my deck, i've checked for a fault with the service light and its flashing 1 long 6 short, so code 16, which is faulty wheel sensor pulse( noise ) rr, so driverside rear sensor. i've bought a 2nd hand sensor and i'm still getting the light on the dash, i've disconected the battery and left it for a while to try reset it still the lights on and the same code shows when checked. any ideas guys cheers chris

might be a long shot but when was the dizzy cap and arm last changed, it can work one day and not the next, sometimes it can help doing it at a warmer time of day, cleaning the contacts up with sandpaper or spraying a little wd40 inside the cap.

That's just what I needed cheers, it says that there bar won't fit with kit fitted not a large shock there, looks like I'll be borrowing some spare material from work;-).

Phil have you got any pics of how the bar mounts, is it bolted to the spare wheel well? I've got a tow bar with electric fittings so I might make the brackets,I just want to know where to bolt it to, I guess that there's a height from the ground that the ball needs to be.

hi guys, following on from an old thread about bike racks, i've just been given a small trailer and wouldn't mind using it to transport my bikes around with some modding to it, now my vtis is lowered and of course has the vtis kit on it so i'd rather not have to take the back bumper off to use the trailer or have another that i can cut the bumper so i can leave it on all the time. now my plan would be to make my own that i can remove from the car as and when i need to, probbly will need to be a swan neck one rather than a normal at a guess. what i would like is some pictures of where and how the tow bars are fitted and the height of the ball from the ground. any help and pic would be great. many thanks chris

little update windscreen is back in and boy is it good to be back, if you want a cheap way to make your car feel quicker, borrow a 1.1 saxo and 1.6 picasso for a while.... does anyone have a very cheap tailgate for sale,i don't have access to the for sale/wanted section( less than 200 posts and i'mnot going around spamming to get my post count up ) as i'm gonna be sanding with the wing on the tailgate to make sure everything lines up and i'd rather not remove the paint on the car. chris

It was late and i had to fill my mates van tyre. Once i done that i then thought i might as well do mine as they have a compressor. I'm not sure really it was late and i was tired, but i think i may have bent the inner part of the valve. I don't under stand what you mean?i think he means is it plug and play, as in do all the fittings match up and work without cutting wires ect chris

they will be going back on once they stop salting roads. chris

still have them, they need a little refurbish and a couple of tyres chris

only thing i'd change is the sides of the spoiler, i want mine to rest against the glass rather than hover over. should be some added support as well. cars all welded ( i'll never stick weld again, MIG ftw from now on) primered up, just need auto glass to visit again then i can drive the car for the 1st time in 2 weeks. Started 1st spin after been stood as well i'm still supprised how small the battery is.... cleaned the dizzy cap and rotor arm which look like they need changing soon, might be whats making the car missfire when theres lots of road spray every once and so often, i'm going to put the mushroom filter back on as well, i miss the noise on changeover, and since i binned the middle box might make things sound even fruityer. chris

Found the pics on the facebook site: noodles i think that deck was an accord, did it have daft camber on the back wheels

other than been a little too long that ep3 wing would fit well once you cut out the back section considering its from another car. your other halfs got the ''him and this bloody car'' look i've seen that before chris

well i would look but i'm not joined on the facebook page, just waiting for me to be accepted so i can look i'll make note of that kyekye09 ! chris

i'll have to go have a dig around , any ideas where it is on the fb page. I'll be making out of fiberglass,i'd love to make it out of kevlar/carbon weave, i think the black/yellow would contrast nicely with the pirate black. I'll start by making the cardboard version then laying the fiberglass over the top of that then use that as the form, wax it up ect and make a mold so i can then make the finish part..... hopefully it will be good enough to make some for you guys. it will after xmas anyway, i've got the windscreen to finish tomorrow and i'm planning on fitting lpg asap.

I'm not a mid~wing fan to be honest think it make the back end look a little busy. Thats my idea, runs flush from the top of the boot not too big in a oem style and still keeps the 3rd brake light and washer. I think the decks are missing a spoiler to finish the look on the vti~s kitted cars. Phil if you can find it let me know might help me shape the wing.

i'm stuck between 2 and 5 there close to each other , it won't be 4 looks like a ned with his baseball cap on at a stupied angle....

i'll let you have that one, there the profile of a rear wing i might( if i have enough time ) theres a few differant shapes. maybe these pics will help: I think i've picked one what do you guys think of them, the top of the spoiler will line up with top of the radius when finished chris

Not fins but they finish part would go on boot at the top near the brake light

i'll re-word it then.... what are they for? chris

Well i said i'd put a project up in another thread about sorting the rust on my deck so here goes. The car as i bought it : shameless pic of the car and my bike... Now the not so nice pics:- After been cut out : Bits to be welded in, weld through primer applyed: De-rusted and primered panel: Thats where i'm up to , need to finsh spraying the patches and i'll be welding them in. Inbetween spraying i cut these out can anyone guess what they are? chris

hi guys , sadly i had a stone hit the windscreen in the deck which ment that it needed replacing, when they came to change the screen all went well till he pulled up the old glue and some of the car came with it... once he cleared all the old glue off the car i was left with a car with no windscreen and some very unexpected rust! it has gone in 4 spots at the bottem of the screen, one small spot( i put it through with a screwdriver after he left) near the center of the screen on the drivers side, one on the other side of center and 2 one on each side about 2" in from the outsides. other than some some light surface at the top of the screen there isn't any rust on the car, i've been meaning to start a project thread , this seem to be a good reason to get it going! has anyone else had this problem? chris
