  1. Where do they usually leak? Mine does the same
     
  2. Don't actually know, but i noticed the seals had gone, where the glass meets the plastic part, so just sealed that part and hoped for the best!!
     
  3. Did you split the light or just run sealer over it?
     
  4. Cheers lads.
     
  5. just ran sealer over it (in the crack) hoping it works! :smile:
     
  6. New injectors fitted :smile:
     
  7. Travelled to Bolsover via Derby. Picked up some R26 alloys on the cheap and had a few jobs sorted by the man himself Mark Black!! Glad car is nearly there :smile:
     
  8. Drove it on an ice track in north of Sweden.

    I discovered that some dirty low life scum bag has stolen both my headlight washers and covers off my RS250.

    Raging.

    Had to have the earth strap for the alternator and start motor fixed. Gave me a scare when it wouldn't start after driving to work and getting back in the car 5 minutes later. Then after bump starting it and driving it to the garage for the low battery message. Thought I was going to have to get alternator and start motor fixed.
     
  12. Took a drive to Dudley yesterday to have the alignment set at A line after I'd had it all too pieces!

    Proper loving the car it's on the BC's
     
  13. Where are you based? A line any good? I need mine checking.
     
  14. There bang on mate, set up a lot of British drift championship cars including the drift works cars.

    I usually use centre of gravity as me mate and his father in law run the place but there very busy.

    A line are based in Dudley and certainly know there stuff, they can do a custom setup to whatever you desire and advise you on certain settings.

    I went for front camber and toe adjustment as the bc's feature adjustable top mounts. We went for standard setup up but we went to the maximum negative front camber angle that's writhing manufacturers spec so I can still retain good tyre wear and hopefully benefit on track some what.

    Also there only charge 38 quid for front toe and camber and even less for just toe adjustment. Car already feels better but haven't yet pushed it due to conditions
     
  15. So hardly any camber then DAN
     
  16. Degree and a quarter pretty much, it's predominantly a road car for now so tyre wear is still a factor. The actual manufactures tolerance is between something like 20 mins to a degree and 17 mins

    Although he did say if I want more camber dialing in he'll do it for more.
     
  17. I'm thinking about getting the BC's for mine. Had them before and loved the ride.
     
  18. Mine are currently set to soft but when the weather gets better I'll start playing on the road, local sprint course and a few track days.
     
  19. My ASTs are going on sunday
     
  20. They should fly on mate, rear end takes minutes and front shouldn't take too long at all

    Fitting this atm. Pig of a job
     
  22. 30 min job inc bumper on and off
     
  23. part exchanging it tomorrow.

    If anyone is looking for a great example of fully loaded 250 contact bell and colvill lotus dealers.
     
  24. I found fitting the airtec fairly easy, I did it on me own which does make bumper fitting a little more awkward but just use a little finnesse haha

  25. It was more getting the bumper off. And those little plastic brackets that covers the hoses


    Dunno if it's placebo but it feels quick from 2k+
     
  26. Yeah bumper can be fidderly around the headlights but just take your time haha.
     
  27. Won't be any quicker your just driving it harder

    Get some vids up lad.
     
  30. Was fairly easy putting it back on..until I forgot the bonnet catch so had to try and get that through the grill

    Jesus that intercooler is huge
     
  31. Had discs and pads replaced all round ££££££ !!! Top service from Ads place on supplying the parts, ordered Tuesday afternoon and arrived Thursday morning
     
  32. Yeah it is a tad large I guess lol, 95mm core. I was a little concerned with airflow to the rad but the cars been running bang on
     
  33. What water temps are you seeing?
     
  34. I haven't had chance to actually log them yet on diagnostics but it's just below what it what normally be on the gauge, I was expecting it to possibly to run a tad warm due to the thickness/restricted air flow
     
  35. Fitted the passenger polycarbonate window and bolted it in place.

    Fitted an external fuse box for my gauges,shift light, dvr, rain light.

    Moved the the intercooler and cut my number plate recess out.
     
  36. So is it running cooler on the water temp gauge now you have a bigger intercooler?
     
  37. Seems to be running ever so slightly cooler, whether the new cooler is letting air pass better then the standard I'm not sure but guess we'll see when I monitor the live data for sure.

    But it has been very cold of late which could also have an effect
     
  38. Nice one. Good result if it does.
     
  39. Just received the new lamps from ads.

    Can anyone recommend an LED bulb for this rather than the crappy yellow look.

    Cheers
     
  40. Just normal 501's Smd.
