#56477 Right so just to keep you all up dated the car got started for the first time today didn't sound to healthy at first then I put the HT leads the right way round now is running sweet as possible without the exhaust system on as am still waiting for it to arrive.

I have fitted all the suspenission but wasn't gonna fit the rear disk brakes right away but as I need to get the tracking and camber set up have decided I'm gonna get it all done and set up by a company call Perfect Touch some UK memebers might have heard of them.

There is on slight problem with the coupe my electrics are real messed up when I indicate left the dash lights up all over the place and the right indicators flash slightly and the same problem happens when I indicate right. Also my headlights do work at all and when I put it on half beam you can hear a buzzing noise camming from the dash.

If anyone has any suggestions as to what it might be would real appreciate your help as I'm getting cheesed of.

Wow thanks for the vote for ride of the month think its still not to a high enough standard compaired to some of the cars on the site.

It was an earthing problem in the end hadn't earth'd the head lights properly but all sorted now.

I went and got it taxed and MOT'd today so is now fully road legal just waiting till Thurs to have its sus, tracking and camber set up by Perfect Touch then I can drive it properly (Finally)

Only major things left I want to do right away now is get my C8's in 16"s and some HID's and fully clean her out.

Ended up doing the rear disk brake conversion in the end as now rear camber wont need setting up twice.

Wil get her clean and put some more pics up for you all.

Gotta say thanks to Si, Supra Pete, the boys at 12 Tune (Egburt your the man) and Perfect Toucj for all their help.

#63199 Your car is really clean mate, spending the money in the right places, and at the moment very much a sleeper car.

Ive bought a couple things from 12tune before, very good stuff IMO, how have you found the quality of the things you have bought? I have only bought visual stuff from them, but I'm looking at some performance things from there now.

Keep up the good work :thumb:

Thanks for qudoes I really like the 12 Tune bits and have seen a great improvement in the quality of bits they supply specialy over the last 2 years.

I also share a work unit with the UK distributer for 12 Tune so get a healthy discount on all the bit I order from them lol.

As for the performance parts I would say they do very well against mid price range products from other companies, they're good for the money you spend but if your willing to spend out that little bit more there are better bits out there, but great for first time tuners or if your on a budget.

One last thing to think about when ordering from 12 tune is keep an eye on the exchange rate as it changes so much you can save yourself a bit of cash by holding off a few days and ordering when you get a better exchange rate.

With some many UK cars appearing on this site I think we need to sort out a UK meet soon while the weather is still good.
