That video is a great example of why retrofit HID kits suck saggy balls.

Yep certainly is for the money. What mileage has yours done?

May be a daft question but does yours make a kinda buzzing noise around 3k rpm? What is this? probably me just being paranoid but seems strange when uve only just got the car.

Why did you get rid of your 1st one Jord?

Got rid of first one, as wasn't shown how to drive it. Just picked it up from dealers without even a test drive.

Only when I decided to sell, and bought the Jordan, that I knew what vtec was all about.

The only buzzing I can think of, is the plastic shield over manifold tends to vibrate a little

Haha theres a certain way to drive these? I kinda have done the same with mine. Instantly knew i wanted it when i saw it at the dealers. My uncle (whose a car dealer) drove it and he said it was fine so brought it Smile

Hmm is the plastic sheild easy to locate/remove if this is the cause? Would i be able to tell just from revving it with the bonnet open if this is the problem?

It's the cover that you see when you open the bonnet. It's quite a common issue, so I believe

started off removing all tar spots with a rag and WD40. works a treat Yes

then i used bilt hamber 'auto foam' with my power washer. after that i used bilt hamber 'auto clay' along with meguiars 'last touch detailing spray'. then another covering of auto foam, follwed by a hand wash using meguiars 'gold class' shampoo.

i'm hoping to wash the car again at the weekend, and go over it again with the clay bar, just to make sure i got all the s**te off Dunno

then i will go around the car with smartwax 'smartpolish' (mmm, smells like bubble gum), then a genorous coat of 'naviwax'

job done Big grin

    Not so much a secret. A few people know. Only because they've been here and seen it on the drive.

    Axles have kept me busy lately so not had chance to do any work on it.

    I will tell all within next couple weeks.
