    Took it to the garage for the MOT, passed fine. Tyre did manage to pick up two screws on the way there! Ordered two Eagle F1 asymmetric 3's to replace the crappy landsalls which came with the car! So will be running Asy 2s on the rear and the new Asy 3 on the fronts. Since getting through the...

    Check EPS/ABS/Emissions

    Hey guys any help would be appreciated! As on my build thread I recently fitted Canbus HIDs, now these could have nothing to do with it. But my first longer drive since fitting them I got check EPS and ABS lights come on. After leaving the car for a few hours and coming back, i got a check...

    okay guys i need some help! Went for a drive the other day after fitting the canbus hids (not sure if there's any relevance), but about 20 minutes into it I got a check ABS/ESP light come on.

    So realising I have auto adjusters and headlight washers but no Xenons, I decided I might be able to get away with HID's easier than with just projectors, so I ordered some :tearsofjoy: Old photo before I fitted LED anything. So I ordered 6000k 35w H1's for dipped and H7's for full beam...

    Thanks Guys! Yeah I'm really happy with the bullets and diffuser! Not sure how long they'll last considering it's rattled canned on :') I used some halfords high temp caliper paint, think the hard part was masking it all off :p Might touch them up with some HI temp brush paint though.

    It's been a while! Thought i'd add some life to this thread. I've done a few things to the R27 since the last update. Firstly I took the car for it's MOT in November, that was rather expensive to say the least. Both front lower ball joints where shot, so had them replaced. The rear pads where...
