having an engine profesionally built doesnt come cheap at all... compared to stripping it yourself and just paying for the machine work to be done its a hell of alot cheaper to do the work personally...

besides... who learns anything from paying someone else to work on there car?

Im looking for a summer job at the moment.

Should have some ebay revenue soon, then maybe purchasing an ECU.




My battery cable has been dangling down for a while, I finally poked it back in today, going down the motorway it shorted out on the floor and cut out. Battery terminals were smoking. Re-insulated it poked it back in, and no problems now.

Sony vivaz is meant to be HD, clearly not great. It also cut out before the interesting bits.


Will try again with better camera and mounted better.
