Project Red Baron - Gaz' Cav

[Gaz]

These were apex corsa ones, ive got a set of 30mm eibach nova ones sat there doing nowt now lol. Would probably work well to level a standard/30mm drop but bugger all chance of sorting mine.

Its been a long time coming getting it level. its even pulled the front up a touch so its less silly in the front.

Looks great pal. Can't wait to get mine back on road

[planetc]

Does look the mutts nuts.

[Gaz]

[Stoater85]

looks great. can you explain your plates style / type to me? are they legal? If so i want a set.

[humbucker]

good work old fruit, looking forward to seeing this in the flesh at some point soon. are you bringing it to PVS?

[Gaz]

They are german pressed type but without all the crap on them, they arent legal but touch wood ive never had an issue with them upto now.

You can get the uk style pressed plates if you want to stay legal.

[gsi pie]

stunning gaz

looks nice , pitty they never did a red gsi and it suits it

[Gaz]

bucker, no idea if im doing pvs, probably will be but tbh its not a great show bit of a chav fest.

Pie, thanks, im glad they didnt as i dont like seeing mysefl coming the other way.

[V6power]

looks proper mint mate, really liking that. only negative thing I have is the GSi badge on the rear, personally I would remove it but thats just my opinion. top work

[Gaz]

Tbh i want a turbo spoiler (think i was supposed to pay humbucker at some point for one) so i can have the badge in the middle, for now i need it to break up the expanse of red on the back end, plus it saves that conversation of is it a gsi everytime i park up somewhere, i just say yes now, its quicker.

[gsi pie]

any more plans gaz?

[V6power]

fair one mate

[Gaz]

any more plans gaz?

Ive got lots of plans but it s a case of just plodding on, i just keep doing bits as i go, its my daily car so ive gotta keep it on the road so no major plans.

Ive gotta finish the tb's etc but im happy to just drive it.

[Gaz]

decided i didn't want to have the lighter filled all the time so decied to install it lower down.

21mm hole saw it sitting in then some hotglue to hold it in place.

Removed the original pins and soldered 2 wires onto the board directly, then wired it to the cigarette lighter

Total cost less than £2, priceless to charge my phone.

[gsi pie]

hmm i like that alot

i use one for my i phone etc

never thought of doing tha tho

so its always got 12v to it ya gaz?

[Gaz]

yea as long as the ignition is on.

If you wanted perm 12v you would have to give it a perm live either at the usb socket or cig lighter

[gsi pie]

kool

i take it you cut the usb charger up so its just the face showing n curcit board the other side

[Gaz]

split it down removed the pins, soldered on the new wires, hot glued it back together letting the wires come out on the side.

way i see it isn you don't want any undue lives kicking about the dash.

[gsi pie]

so you just tapped off the cig lighter for power so the cig lighter still works ya gaz

[Gaz]

yea just ran it in parallel

[gsi pie]

what you mean parallel? so dont tap on it?

hate wiring lol

[Gaz]

yea just tapped into the wiring

[gsi pie]
