    Default Do you ever have those days where you wish you had'nt started??

    Took all the air box out to get access to the back of the lamp to fit me led side light chips, only to find the circuit board chips are too wide, then went to put my led festoon bulbs in the tail gate only to fit one and find the bulb holder screw doesnt want to come out at all, just gave up in the end.

    It's the sockets that were the problem mate (and the guy who torqued the bolts up the last time )

    I'll get my 2 foot breaker and torx socket on it (and probably break the bolt )

    I was going to have a go at fitting my vxr air intake but cant get the front of the car into the garage and its not stopped snowing all morning here albeit lightly so given up and watching the footy instead. Thinking i might as well clean up my K+N filter and have a blast through the how 2's to see if i can do anything wlse while i'm in there so that can me my plan for next saturday.

    Plasma I salute you sir, braver man than me!!
