Recommended Posts

Sorry for no updates work is still going to be carried out just been doing some overtime because some people are lucky to go on holiday so i had to work there shifts more overtime = money, Money = more to spend on car :)

 

Fitted new rear speakers and put up some lights in garage now so i can see what i am doing instead of a torch and shall be getting a sub and amp soon as for body work will still be working on cosmetic and mechanical parts of the car but there is only so much work that can be carried out when i can't drive and transportation limited.

Anyways time for an update:

 

Managed to locate the correct pin on my ecu and going to be doing the wiring tomorrow for the rev counter so it will work if all goes to plan.

 

Also have a new grill may have some pictures coming soon then will keep you updated as i have a few more plans i am carrying out this month.

 

As i have said sorry about the thread being quite i have been busy at work and just managed to creep onto my next college course without paying upto 4k for it so that cheered me up :D

so when you going to drop a RS Turbo lump in it then :D

 

got the Revcounter working yet?

 

Only just noticed this post wow,

 

Yes will love to have the RS turbo engine in the car BUT it wont be this one it will be on a 3 Door instead :)

Not just yet should have tomorrow hopefully we shall see :)

 

 

same here i was being told my mechanics course was going to costing the multiple thousands but they got it down to £985 for the year

 

Yes well as i am turning 19 in just short of 19 days as soon as i am 19 the goverment stop funding. It is stupid they want you to have a job but wont allow you to get the qualifications to get a job :/ what level course are you doing as a mechanic? and is the £985 including all the tests and crap?

yeah its 700 tuition fees 155 materials and rest is exam fees its a nvq and this is my second level and im dreadingly going to hopefully go back to for a level 3 which again is going to cost me more. i though exactly the same they wonder why the unemplymet rate is so high its because no one is willing to take on people without the qualifications and to get the qualification you have to pay thousands and how you going to afford to do that no one has sort of money lying around at this age its ridiculous thats why i didnt vote Cuntservatives but bloody Cameron and his Butt pirate Clegg got voted in

 

Rant over :D
