Looking good :)

The first one looks better IMO but it does actually expose the reinforcement bar. Not a problem for people who cut the bar out and smash a great big FMIC in there.

The second doesn't look as g ood but doesnt have the reo-bar problem.

Guess it comes down to what the people want ?

That what's I was talking about when I asked about the indicator holes - not the side ones. I've never had any issues with not running indicators in the front bar even when the front bar fell off on the street a few times & I got pulled over for it, still no defect as the bar was in the car with me and I was 'on my way to the body shop' :)

whoops sorry I thought you meant the ones on the bottom of the sides.

technically you can see the indicators next to the headlights even from front on, so it's passable. I think I like the indicators filled in, but that's just me, with the "mouth" covering the reo bar so I don't have to chop it.

Does anybody have a GOOD pic of the Autech bar & lip on a car? I've got pics of a similar Aeromaster (i think) kit but no decent quality ones of Autech bar & lip.

Autech lip looks to jut straight out from the sides like a snow plow in the pic below, no flaring around the sides. Looks kind of shit IMO, I'll see if I can reduce the snow plow look and add a little flare out at the sides - only very mild though.I've added a dodgy symmetrical air intake to this one but haven't played with the lip yet.

    • Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.
    • This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.
    • Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.
    • This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.
    • I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
