KP's MX Track Car aka 'Reddy'



  • Yeah, just found them for £20 on eBay and free P&P. Might go for Halfords so I can fit them in this w/e. Something to tick off the 'to-do' list. :D



  • Ok, my hope of swapping the lights ended fairly quickly when I couldn't get the damn things off! :oops: (major noob!!) Am I right in thinking the glass will come off the rear plate? They're two moulds right??? I didn't want to push it too hard and chip the glass.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Put in a new steering wheel instead! :lol:



  • silly question why are you trying to remove the glass…What is it your trying to achieve..

    To remove the headlights youll need to remove the front bumper first...
    then if you wish to remove the glass first warm the headlight to soften the seal then price apart...



  • Ah, cheers for the info. I was just trying to change the headlight bulb, but wasn't sure if it meant taking the headlamp out or not. :oops:

    "All the gear…no idea"



  • The bulbs just clip in from back of the unit. The little clip things for them are awkward enough though!



  • Cheers Ryan. Feel like a right muppet not being able to swap the headlights over!!



  • as Ryan said fella the a coever on the back of the headlight twist it off and you discover the bulb…the clips are a bit fiddley but youll get the hang of them...
    most important though dont touch the glass on the new bulb...hold it by the prongs on the back to install it..



  • Gotcha, cheers! 8) At any case, done my back in good and proper fiddling around yesterday so I won't be playing with Reddy for awhile now…BOO!! :cry:

    Noooooo…doing what may i ask or shouldnt i hahaha..sorry no laughing matter...



  • Been suffering from a bad back for years, and constantly bending over to clean the air filter (and other things) aggrevated it something chronic! :cry: At least though, I had time to finish these bad boys…

    The Satin Black look has begun!



  • ooooo :D yummy :D yummy :D yummy satin black 8) ….im like a kid in a candy store sad i know...walks slowly back to his corner... :wink:



  • Can't agree with you more mate…it look ssoooooo gooooddd!! 8)

    Now just have to do the rest of the car! :?



  • IM starting on my spats next week also then front bumper



  • Nice! These were already off since I had my new sills in, but I've still got the rear-rear spats to do. I think then it'll be spoiler and the wing mirrors (if I can get the b*stards off!)



  • On a technical issue, I'm looking to have a short "quick" fix for an air filter. This year I'm hoping to get my hands on a DE/ZE so don't want to fork out £100's on a K8 CAI. My plan was to remove the N/S foglight, cover it with gauze and wire mesh, and run a tube from there to the engine.

    Will this work? I'm not bothered about the extra noise.

    Cheers.



  • good idea, run a cold feed from the front to the airbox and try a piper filter.. did this on a calibra v6 and it worked wonders to say the least i saved loads also..



  • Nice! Cheers for that. Does running it from the airbox mean that I don't have to worry about moving the sensors?



  • @6ad27eb9d0=kp81:

    Nice! Cheers for that. Does running it from the airbox mean that I don't have to worry about moving the sensors?

    just run a cold feed to the original airbox and replace the filter with a high flow one say from piper..



  • As always, appreciate the knowledge Rainey :lol:



  • Nice work on the plastics mate, satin black looks fookin amazing on a car.
