Rockers '6 Is back

[rocker8742]

Well got round to doing a few bits tosay and got my crystals fitted





Looks so much cleaner at the front end now but Srowell why were the sidelights wired up with a junction box? lol



Also connected fogs to come on with mains and added a switch



and made some brackets for the spotlights that will be replacing my fogs

[spike2002]

Looks loads better mate whats ur plans with the fogs then?

[rocker8742]

Planning to stick some f**k off bright bulbs in the spots and have them on with mains as a direct swap for the fogs forthe lanes at night
also they have an led ring that i may connect to come on with the dip beam but not sure how that will look yet

[Midnightclub]

If you're only using them for fogs why not get a set of HID's for them? Probably cost around the same sort of price as some decent halogens but be much much brighter and last longer Mine were only £35 delivered IIRC and came the next day!

[puglove]

Looks soooo much better with crystals, soo much fresher

[rocker8742]

Might get a set of hid bulbs anyone recommend some ? Think the spots are h1

[Midnightclub]

Got mine from a company called Autronix (IIRC) on eBay but even though i ordered them at like 3pm they were at my door the next day with free delivery, come with a 1 or 3 year warranty too i believe.. Colour wise really depends on what you want, 6k will be white with a slight blue tinge whilst 8k and on will get more blue/purple and not as bright

[rocker8742]

think ill go for 3500 or 4300 as im not really a fan of white lights

[rocker8742]

Next plans are

Fit the spots

Get hold of an air intake/snorkel and replace the filtermay go back to a panel filter and standard box

Debating between an unvented goona splitter + standard mirrors

New wheels - probably clones with toyo T1Rs - what sort of tyre life do you get out of these though as I've heard they're quite soft and i do naybe 250 miles a week?

New windscreen as this has got a mahoosive crack from the rain sensor

Thinking about changing the exhaust over to something with a bit less noise

[rocker8742]

Got a set of blue carpets from an s16 after a long search will clean them up and hopefully fit at the weekend, going to run in the cabling for an amp at the same time

[puglove]

Plans sound good mate. The wheels are needed badly =P lol. Glad to hear you managed to source a carpet at last as well. Think you managed that pretty quickly TBH

[rocker8742]

i know the wheels need doing but moneys going to making it a nicer noise first

yeah carpet was thanks to a tip from frosty and tbh they arent in bad condition just need a clean then theyre going in

[Frosty]

i am the blue carpet finder! or just the guy thats spends to much time on ebay! lol

give me a shout if you want a hand though mate! this weekend aint great for me but maybe friday night if you want a hand?

[rocker8742]

tbf mate doesnt look like its going to be a difficult job should be able to blast it in a few hours on saturday if the weathers good

welcome to drop me a text if your bored though

[rocker8742]

Cracked the vax out and gave these a good clean last night



also gave it a clean and went over it with some AG Aqua wax which did a pretty good job but by the time i finished was dark lol




and what i came out to in the morning

[rocker8742]

Well the carpets went in this weekend with a bit of pushing and shoving lol had a few problems but pleased with how they look now, will put some pictures up when i get them off the camera

[rocker8742]

Only pic I've got of the front in so far


Will update with a decent one of it all in later

[lewisdmz]

Coming together nicely! Can't believe you found an s16 carpet, they must be rare as anything. I'd swap back to standard mirrors if I were you, m3 ones look pretty dated now.

What open filter have you got on it at the moment? I switched back to a standard airbox with green panel filter and kind of miss the noise tbh.

[Niall]

Did you have any trouble getting the front carpet in over the side impact sensors? I did! Also there's a small hole on the drivers side one. Assuming its for the fuel cap release on the ph1

Cars looking good mate!

[Jake]

Love the carpet!!! Want it in mine!

[C.A.R.]

Everyone is fitting blue carpet!

I feel left out. I have blue carpet in the house which I suppose I can console myself with haha!

Looks good fella. Your seats look to be in amazing condition, is it just a lucky angle or are they that good in reality?

[sam]

Looking good chap

Im still undecided about the mirrors mate i have standards here ready to go back on if i feel like it and its a K&n Cone filter will get pics if i take it off to clean it this weekend

I did mate i just trimmed a little of the foam away from behind where the sensors are, and i didnt think it was the cap release being so far back but cant see it being anything else, i ended up cutting a new hole for the lever but its not perfect and keeps popping off also lost the spring lol

The drivers seat is alright on the bolster starting to go but the seat base is buggered and torn but the rest of the seats are brilliant condition

[rocker8742]

Got these and gave them a clean

[samass]

[rocker8742]

Shush you i cant find it but its round here somewhere

[samass]

[rocker8742]

[samass]

[rocker8742]

Now why would i do a thing like that?
