Off to r-tec saturday

[Daryld]

taking the ibiza up to st albans on saturday to get my suspension fitted...

was sitting here earlier and thought im going all that way just to get suspension fitted:s so i rang them up and inquired about getting some HID's fitted at the same time.

so now getting the hid's and the suspension fitted.

cant actually wait. will get some pics up once i have got back

 

[Daryld]

oh and its going in for a day on friday to get the bushes in the steering column checked and to have my private plate put on...cant wait to get rid of that crappy square number plate..going to get a normal one this time

 

[jc_boc]

Look forward to the pictures mate.

 

[Daryld]

yeah

will only need to powdercoat the wheels and then im done for 3 years...then the fun will start.

Although...any one know if bluefin have brought out a map as yet?

can a bluefin be spotted when car goes into seat for warranty work?

 

[mardon]

There is a bluefin map which will flash your car to cupra power. If you remove the map it can not be traced but your flash counter will have increased so there is a small chance they could pick up on that.

 

[Daryld]

which would lead them to suspect a bluefin i guess...

 

[mardon]

Dunno, I wouldn't worry about it. Doubt they would go looking for it. Since the FR and Cupra engine is the same all your doing is uploading the cupra map.

 

[Daryld]

hmm.. could be tuning it sooner than i think then lol.

another question while i have your attention lol what type of hid's would i need out of the ones in the link?

[mardon]

Can't answer that one i'm afraid, not well up on HID's. There is some good info on youtube showing the different colors etc. I'd get a white light which isn't mega strong as you dont want trouble off plod.

 

[Daryld]

im sure when i go into r tec saturday they will explain all the options.

 

[FR_POWER]

u need H7R! not H7 which can cause glare....

[Daryld]

but if they only have H7 is that ok? its not illegal or anything is it?

 

[FR_POWER]

Either way hids are illegal. To make them legal u need auto leveling and headlamp washers.

Go YouTube type illegal hids. Autoexpress did a video about it.

 

[Daryld]

oh lol...oh well other cars get away with it..ill just not have them on in the day lol

 

[FR_POWER]

U also can choose colour I prefer 4300k which is compeletly White. 6000k is White with blue tint. 8000k is skyblue. Also higher the colour less light output which means can't see nothing. 4300k is my best choose or 6000k

 

[FR_POWER]

But you can cause glare to on coming traffic..... But I read that u need ur lights adjusted when u get HIDs so won't glare lol!

 

[Daryld]

oh right yeah cool ill either go for the 4300 or 6000.

dont really mind which one tbh as like both styles

 

[Daryld]

right went to r-tect today to get my xenons and my springs fitted

waited about 3 hours all in all but here's the final outcome..

obv springs need a bit of time to bed in so will sit lower

but im liking the hid's

oh yeah and my private plate is now on

 

[techie]

Very nice, sits well.

Could have centred the number plate though

 

[Daryld]

oh yeah wtf they didnt center it...thats seat that did the
