Fitted locking roof bars and changed what I thought was all the vac pipes, but turns out I need to do the ones underneath the motor as well, so guess what I'm doing tomorrow morning

[lurchy666]

ok some pics of the sump plug thing and the lexus lights and hight markers and my vaccum gauge and my turbo gauge (which reads on full boost 18 psi) and my spots which caused the wiring issue (the one on the drivers side next to factory spot is the culpruit) .

the led top markers are http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0647280695

and the lexus lights have these bulbs in tail/brake lights http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0647280695

also there are chrome indicator bulbs in them and a t15 red 21 wattt bulb in drivers side reversing light as a fog light

hopefully this one shows both, having a bit of a problem with photobucket at min

What have you piped the boost gauge into? and where did you get it and how much

[lurchy666]

boost gauge is plumbed into the small vac pipe from the inlet manifold to the diesel pump, got it from ebay land, gauge was 15 quid and the holder was 7 quid

[lurchy666]

ok some pics of lexus lights with brake lights on and with indicators flashing and one of the rather pink fog light











and if you buy the lights you'll need one of these for the foglight if you do it like me and out it in the reverse light

My new set of tyres arrived for the car http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280543376236&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_518wt_911
Just gotta wait for a day off so I can get them fitted. Local garage wants £15 per wheel inc balancing.

Need to get the tracking done first though...the reason I had to buy new tyres.

Today I got the LCD screen for my truckputer working

I'm kinda deciding as I go along lol, it's not designed to be a fully blown entertainment system like off the shelf or 'typical' carputers but more of a custom 'do what I want it to do' thing.

I've already managed to get a temperature probe working on it so need to figure out how to get this measurement onto the lcd.

place the guard on top of the chassi rails, but you will have to drill right throgh the rails,[/quote]


Not that simple as one side goes over but the other doesn't.

Will have to make some brackets and do some cutting.

I fitted my roof bars. Genuine Vx off ebay £15.

Its took me 3 hours to remove the panels find the drill anddrill the rivets out of mine and the one on the spares motor and and find bolts to refit it all with and all because she couldnt be bothered to peddle her bike to work . I was looking forward to a lie in aswell
