i have a mix between the 2; but to be honest i'd rather do less marking and planning and more making.
when i was at school everyone pushed you to go and do a degree, and that you'll never amount to anything without one. looking back with hind sight i find this very wrong; and now with my own students i try and encourage both an academic and a practical option.
thats a standard issue with trying to wire OEM satnav through a new headunit. several people have already found this out.
i don't think there is a specific output that can be re directed into a headunit.
i changed mine after 18 months, but you can get refills for them for a fraction of the whole wiper.
after 18 months they were still working well, but the drivers was starting to smear slightly. it was still better than stock even when smearing.
not really like the 5AD wheels, more like the 5zigens, plus the 5zigens come in better offsets, and a wider size and probably cost less and chilli red can get them for a good price
personally i wouldn't mention it; unless the buyer specifically asks. the radio works fine i'm guessing, and if it skips it probably only does it when its cold.
its a known issue; but not a deal breaker to be honest.
just been on ebay, admittedly none of these are recon's but not massive prices either
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=cors ... m270.l1313
personally i would recon
Recon engine: 500 gbp
turbo: second hand 100 gbp brand new 200gbp roughly
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Corsa-1-3-turbo-C ... 4150e0c643
gaskets and time belts, probably about what they quoted, although looking a ttheir prices i bet you could probably get them cheaper.
labour on a rough price of about 30 gbp an hour and say 12 hours work 360 gbp if they are using similiar hourly rates they reckon 20 hours of work.
to be honest i reckon it should be doable for 1500 gbp easily.
it might be quicker to get hold of him if you book the "transgender-bender dance troop" you can chat to him while he lap dances for you. hint... he's the one with the long blonde hair, slim waist, big boobs and a moustache
only kidding Lee, hope all is well and that your not running yourself into the ground.
to be honest last time i heard from him he wasn't really stopping to sleep; i think he's a cyborg.
i heard he had a sex change and joined a berlesque dance troop.
he is uber busy, keep sending the PM's he sometimes needs them repeatedly sent as the message does show up in his own email box.
plastic welding. i.e. melting it together with heat is often done with a soldering iron. i personally think its a shoddy way to work as the polymer bonds are no longer the same where the join is. and it isn't as strong as it used to be.
i personally would make a small upside down "L" bracket to fit underneath where you join to pieces together, and then use a small piece of ally on top to make an ally; plastic; sandwich. i'd bond the lot together with areldite. then maybe a couple of wraps of gaffa tape. and redrill the original whole through the whole sandwich. ally thickness wise id be looking at 0.5mm -1mm sheet.
bloke on the s2k forum was burgled and has just replaced all locks and keys as his car keys were taken. the bill from honda was
£1231 to replace locks, ignition, keys, fobs, reprogramme alarm and immobiliser.
i might just cut the 9 sets next week, if people can make sure the spellings are correct fo rtheir usernames on the list and all capitals and non capitals are where they should be. i use exactly what is used for your username, but last time someone wanted it different but didn't tell me that; so this time let me know.
imho i don't think the nismo is that special, it looks like stock and sounds only slightly better than stock. if thats the look your going for then fair do's but the remus would possibly be a good route.
although if your getting a nismo for peanuts you cant really complain.
nice idea except for the 2 way part. i like the idea of being able to see and hear whats going on, but having the customer talk back would just grate after a very short time.
not seen a remus on a zed, i know they were popular with the MR2 crowd, nismo is expensive for what it is.
whats your budget? you can get good sound from the car for not too much money; in comparison to the nismo.
JDM's have quieter exhausts as standard they also have a different air intake tube with an extra widget to make it quieter as well. JDM's are difficult to diagnose and repair as a lot of garages don't have the appropriate OBDII software. Most OBDII software doesnt work with them. most JDM's don't have leather. JDM's are speed limited to 115 mph
wow i wish i bought a jdm
