Christopher2110 Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) Began to take the exhaust of the get the Pedro mod done. Realised I was probably opening a massive can of worms from looking at all the rounded nuts and bolts and the state of the current back box 😞 2 new exhaust clamps later and it’s all back together. Sigh. On to eBay to look for a back box 🥳🤩 Edited June 16, 2019 by Christopher2110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxob Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Swapped intermittent wiper relay for a variable intermittent relay. Cheap and easy two minute upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GmanB Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Replaced all tuning forks, the rear coffin arms, track rod ends and full wheel alignment. It was like driving a new car, over the moon with the results, plus the roof was down. Happy days 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a few changes to the circuit and the code and mounted the components on a board. Just tested it and it works a treat. Will place in an enclosure and use an OEM connector and hopefully it will be small enough to fit in the cavity behind the switch in the dash. Cheers Mark Just on the off chance (after two previous attempts) if you make any more I will buy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shazbot Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Dipped and main are separate H7 bulbs (986, Halogen) with the lens dealing with Hi/Lo aim, so just changed the bulbs out and tried turning them on. Yet to do a night time test to check aim and beam spread etc, so have retained the standard Halogen ones JIC. Fitted LED bulbs sold as headlight bulbs, with cooling fans to see how the heat build up is dealt with inside the lamp unit. Fogs are non fan sold as Fog only.

map Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Got it back having handed it over on 10th May before we went off on holiday. Back home this week and so it was brought back into town. As it was started to reverse off the trailer I remembered just how much pleasure I get from this thing. Sounds great, feels brilliant to jump in punch the shifter into first and move off. Felt very “bright” on the throttle - 👍 Had hoped to get the induction development finalised but no joy - all bespoke so nothing off the shelf which means it’ll have to wait for another time ☹️ - those horses can run but they cannot hide.....

Interested to hear how night time driving is with the LED's. Do you have any pics of the beam pattern (ie against a wall) compared to the halogen?

Glad she is back with you. Hope to see you both at the Boxster Munch if you can make it next week - think I read you are also doing the Goodwood festival of speed,so might be a bit tight time wise.

Look at the "intermittent wiper relay location" post by @Simon_S. It refers to an eBay seller (in Lithuania) who is selling VW/Seat variable wiper relays for £9 delivered. It arrived; it worked.

Jules74 Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Cleared out the front valance. About 1 bucket full of dried leaves, a generous scoop of gravel and the remains of a blackbird. Oh, and I've jammed up the Dyson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
