PMSL thats it! Seriously couldn't think what it was called then!

 

[PhilW]

lmao @ tom forgettin the word glovebox.

 

[Forbez]

My latest purchases:

And cant remember whether i posted my foam gun in action:

 

[PhilW]

Whats the CG stuff tom? Cant quite make it out.

Surprised you actually used it and hasnt been shoved in the cupboard.

 

[Forbez]

Either end, (bright bottles) are wash and gloss, a foamy shampoo.

2nd from left is Wet Mirror finish, a gloss magnifier

and 3rd from left is Coconut scent air freshener.

 

[PhilW]

Cool. Let me know how you get on with the shampoo. I need to get some soon as i'm comin to the end of my Poorboys Slick and Suds.


Got about 150 quid to spend on a 4 channel amp, any reccomendations? I know its not a massive amount of money but i'm sure something could be had for that. Want to run my front components and a sub off it. More after SQ that out and out noise.

 

[Forbez]

Will do Phil, i'm still working my way through my PB Slick and Suds, but i'll give the CG stuff a go!

Stan, you fitted an ACT gauge didnt you, how difficult is the wiring of it? Thinking of fitting one in the Cupra R gauge pod, once i fit the gauges.

And in talking of the gauges, what wiring will i need to wire them up?

 

[PhilW]

I was gonna get an ACT, but now i'm gonna get one of those scangauge things which will show it along with other stuff.

 

[Forbez]

Hmm, ACT gauge is about £25 from Courtenay sport IIRC.

 

[PhilW]

Matt never got his working if i remember right. I'd like to have one tho.

I fancy a scangauge coz i'll be without a laptop soon and it reads and clears codes as well as the gauge side of things.

 

[Forbez]

Ahh right, I haven't got the money for one at the mo. Need to do a few hours overtime first.

Anyway, fancy giving me a hand with the gauges one day?

 

[PhilW]

What gauges are they?

 

[Forbez]

Oil temp and pressure.

 

[PhilW]

Got all the corerct adaptors etc..? Easy enough to do, we can use my new fangled jack as well.

 

[PhilW]

All comin to the SW-CC track day on the 9th?

 

[Forbez]

I think i've got the correct adapter,
This one:

[PhilW]

Whats the thread on the top?

1/8NPT will be fine for one gauge but the other goes in the top needs 1/8NPT.

 

[Forbez]

Hmm, Not sure. I did get some kind of T piece thing with the gauges also.
You fitted both of yours into different places didnt you.

Any idea where i can get one to fit both into?

 

[Forbez]

I've also got this:

Oil temperature bracket

* Provides easy installation of oil temp/pressure gauges
* supplied with 6mm & 8mm BSP fittings
* Suitable for all oil gauges
* Connect oil temp & pressure gauges together at oil pressure switch

 

[PhilW]

I used a M10x1 male and 1/8NPT female adaptor for my oil pressure on the oil filter housing which you can get from Demon Tweeks.

And a sump plug with 1/8NPT female which went in the sump which i used for my oil temp gauge. Got that from Burton Power.
