Hiya mate, you may have to play a little, I would say black is earth, yellow is live and purple is either lights/negative just expose some wire and wrap around to test it.... It'll either work or not, do you have a link to the gauge you bought?

 

[Ryan D]

Sooo not been on in a while...since last time I have now got a cupra splitter on and de wipered the rear...just need some lows in my life! Cobra coilovers should be here next week so then I'll be a happy chappy...also wanting stage 2 but not sure how to go about it? Cheers!

Heya love it. Just wondering what's the exhaust on it like and how much and were from been thinking of getting one for mine

 

[Ryan D]

Just lowered my car on coilovers and now when accelerating my car seems to be vibrating quite alot but when coasting or braking it stops vibrating. What will the problem be?

 

[Ryan D]

This is it now...

 

[Mjet220]

Could be anything its a fiat lol, have people mentioned droplinks before

Check your droplinks, I had this by the sounds of it and I just didn't tighten them up fully so gradually got worse. Jack it up and give them all a knick, also turn your steering whilst jacked up on both sides to see if anything may be catching

 

[Ryan D]

Cars in for new reinforced race spec driveshafts today to be able to withstand the angle and power going through them now it's lowered. Got some pics back is down with no adjusters in just standard rubber bump stops and front still has another 25mm to go but it was far to low all the way down so I wound it up haha

 

[Ryan D]

Now nice and low

 

[Ryan D]

...

 

[Ryan D]

So these reinforced driveshafts don't fit now it's lowered apparently. Any ideas what I can do?

 

[Mjet220]

You havent had to pay have you, forget coilies on a grande underbodys far too low on the 1.9 i lowered 30mm bracing was smashing on everything was a horrible drive too

 

[andyf1234]

Engine cover loos smart did you use heatproof paint or o it special or just normal paint and how much was air filer ?

 

[Ryan D]

No not paid anything at all. Another garage think it's a driveshaft bearing they are looking tomorrow. I don't really scrape of scuff anywhere tbh! And yeah Andy just normal red paint haha and filter was around 30 quid. Just got it for the sound really and wanted the hest shielded one to stop abit of heat soak

 

[Ryan D]

Cars fixed and got some new wheels! lenso BSX 7.5j. What's the thoughts?
