Aaaannnd the last bit i swear
I have problems with my back, so i find it hard to twist in the seat and properly guage parking, so after driving my dads scenic i decided to fit some Reversing Sensors to the Ph1
decided on a 4 sensor kit, with a display and speaker
first thing just wired in the power to the reversing lamp, made an earth on the bolt hole just inside the boot, and plugged in the box and display to see if i could make it do anything - surprisingly for a kit that only costs £11 it is quite accurate and even picks up posts (not just walls like some do)
drilled the holes in the bumper to accept the sensors - kit somes with it's own holesaw so no problems finding the right size
notice the 'extra' hole on the drivers side - rookie mistake - measure twice, read the instructions again for clarity and re-measure, then drill... FML
BUT
it works, and assuming i find a good place for the beeping noise to eminate from is pretty much finished - the control box tucks away under the jack holder, and the wires feed nicely through the bolt hole in the center (which kindly broke on removal - so handy
)
next up is:
wheels - get rid of the gash 14's and fit some better 16's?
bodywork - try to get it as straight as poss before paint - source a spoiler
interior - retrim seats and door cards
i'll also be on the lookout for a mpi head and management, a td04-12t, maybe even a new bottom end as this one sucks massive unicorn wang
that's it for now,
thanks for reading, John
