What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

as mentioned before 200 kms should be ok- doubt anyone would average 30l/100km.

Any good number plate LEDs around?  I just installed standard replacement globes with a blue tint but they still look yellow and crap because the plastic housings are badly yellowed (even burnt a bit near the globes.  Would prefer nice LED colour.  I've used cheap LEDs before and they vibrate apart at the solder joins and become a flickery POS.

number plate lights are in the middle of this post

 

I've used the same style ones in number plate lights for years without a problem... just standard T10 socket globes that just push into place (only the ones for the "rear reading lights" I had to solder into place because it's a BA9S style globe mount, but I only had T10 globes to use).

Dem feels when k31th fixes it and it's stuck like that forever.

 

What I did to my car today? Nothing, it's too hot to even go outside and look at it.

Yeah I know the globe type already as I've replaced them loads - more after the specific brand/shop/link as I bought a bag of like ten and they all end up flickering.

This is the first time I've bought these "pretty cheap" ones, so we'll see how they go... http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80918-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/?do=findComment&comment=1623931

I used to buy ones off a different seller... I'll see if I can find them...

 

EDIT: looks like the guy (in China, if my memory is correct) that I used to buy them off either has a new name on ebay or he's not selling anything anymore :(

Been a few busy days after work this last week. Fitted up me wideband finally. Moved the eboost from the pillar to the dash and moved the starter button down to make some room.
Big thanks to arronm for repairing my broken starter button and making it Blue instead of red in the process.

Decided to redo my DIY turboside intake as I wasnt happy with the rush job I did a while back. Decided to drop the fuse box down and hide it under the intake lid. Looks alrite I think?

And while the dump was off to weld the sensor bung in I took a spring out the wastegate actuator and adjusted the preload. Just got a 1 7lbs spring in it now instead of 2. What a bloody kharnt of a job with the turbo still fitted to the car haha. Spanners were thrown and I now have a nervous tick everytime I see a bloody 'E' clip.
