The Caramac XSi

Not been a huge load of movement over the past weeks as I've bene away with work but finally had a bit of time at it this weekend. Got the problem with the blower sorted, turned out to be the heater control unit, the blowing fuses must have damaged something inside it but a new (second hand) unit sorted that and now I've got full control over my, em faculties, again.

I also had a big of a saga with the headlights, turns out getting phase 2 twin spot headlights was a bit difficult in that no one seemed to have them, not somewhere i could go and pick them up from anyways, so I threw a set of crystals into it instead and it so much nicer looking, lifts the front no end I reckon.



Beyond that I also paid a visit to a local exhaust place and had them make up a back box to suit the centre box i picked up. What i didn't take into account was that the rear bumper, being a phase 2, doesn't have the rear cut out for the exhaust tip. Rather than cut the bumper i got the fella to make up a standard end to it until such times as i can get either a phase 1 or 3 rear with the cut out. it'll likely be a phase 1 as they still have the black rub strips, don't really fancy colour coding it, i think the blaze yellow suits a bit of black around it. so, long story short, ignore the pants looking tip on it. it's also pretty loud which i don't mind but it does drone a bit so i might need to go back and get that looked at.



in the mean time i also got some oem goodness



and head rests!



all in all its slowly getting there!
