Bea,

Hey Si,
Good to catch up yesterday and thanks for taking me for a spin, those new Suzuki pipes sure do sound great.
Also thanks for the bits, unfortunately in my haste I didn't really look at the exhaust silencer properly and discovered when I returned home it won't fit. I will return it to you next weekend if you're in so you can chuck it on ebay or something.
Nice new pic's too.
Cheers,
Rich.

Thanks for that Si, I shall check finances and give them a call.
Si, I tried to call that number today and all I got was the number has not been recognised. Can you check the number or let me know the shop name so that I can look into it please?
Thanks
sorry. got the number from a google search. just spoke to him on his proper number & not got any 6000k kits in until end of fisrt week in Feb. he will do them for £58 which is what i paid.
I shall see how money is at that time of year but that price is good. I will have to check with him closer to the time.
I have wanted some of these since Cleverchap fitted a system to his bus and I saw how good it is. As the bug is my main car I do drive at night and to be honest, even with Halogens, there is a lot to be desired. The main beam is ok but dip is pretty pathetic.
I seem to recall that Clever paid a lot more for his system and I have been hoping that a cheaper model would be available soon.
£58 is a v good price. Rob has seen how good they are maybe he will comment. Rob!
rear valance cut off on thursday
today the gearbox etc came out
not too bad just needs a bit of a wire brush & some por15

yeah really good bit of kit and to be honest Bea it looks a lot like the kit clever bought. I think he paid about £125 but that was a bout 2-3 years ago.
I dont do a lot of night driving but coming back from the meets I have sometimes had to use main beam and still not been flashed by anyone for them being too bright.
They should be due in next weekend or there abouts and I shall have a root around for some cash and then have a play.
started rubbing the engine bay & above the gearbox today. as getting access to the spark
plugs is a major task with twin 44's fitted i have cut part of the inner wing out. i'm going to make up a pair of covers that will be screwed on (think hookey's do one) which will make life alot easier.
i'll strengthen inside the inner wing/firewall area etc.
I use the beam diagram in a haynes manual. If you have a level surface that's near a wall or garage door, mark the beam pattern on the wall/door. I've used this method with success, failing that, slip the tester a fiver to adrust them on there machine! ![]()
I have used that wall method where you should be 12 foot away from the wall and the mark should be at about knee height but I had them properly adjusted when I had the MOT done some years back and they were fine at the last MOT. I think I am just dropping current to them.
Anyway, the HID kit is the way forward I think.
definately
Hi there Si! I'm the owner of the random bug you spotted in Alphington!
Was good to meet you briefly. Looks like you're well underway with your project - looking good!
Cheers, dan
Regarding the heter tubes, will you be around and about sometime on Friday afternoon for me to come and have a look at them with regards buying them from you? Regarding the HID kits, has your contact in Exmouth got them in yet?
Thanks in advance.
