Thinking of putting a spec m front bar on my series 1, did a google search and both the series 1.5 and spec m front bumpers look the same? Are they the same thing or are people naming bumpers wrong? I mainly wanted to know if it is much lower to the ground then the series 1 bumper and if anyone knows what it looks like with standard series 1 side skirts?

Is this what you are talking about? I had this on my S1 and as far as I can tell its no different to the S1.5 front bumper

89cal has standard side skirts, yours doesn't have any side skirts on it, that's just the body. His front bar is M spec/1.5 (same thing) and yours appears to be standard S1 base model.

haha...noobs..

actually I got a guy (wont say who but everybody who frequents FI section knows him) who always asks me where i got my special rare front bumper, cause hes never seen one like that..its stock S1...:laugh:

Ok thankyou for finally answering my question about whether M spec and S1.5 was the same bar! Initially I thought that mine just had small side skirts, I now realise it has none. Did side skirts come standard with S1.5?

Yeah well i've been trying to source another series 1 bumper because I quite like them and mine is effed (dad crashed my car, believe it or not! ) but there are none around! all I can source is the series 1.5 bumper so I bought one the other day and will see how it looks without side skirts in a week once the rest of the car is fixed :(

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
