This being my 19th car in 7 years of driving - i'm going to try and make this one last longer than 'normal' and make my 20th something a little special.
Mods so far;
Hayward & Scott Catback system
Simtek ECU (maps to be confirmed by Roger Clarke Motorsport tomorrow morning)
16" Rays Volks wrapped in Toyo T1R Tyres
Not too sure what i'm going to do with this yet but I KNOW I want at minimum a version 6 front bumper, Boost Gauge, Turbo Timer (for novelty) and a blow over spray job as some edges have worn thin.
Also down by the clutch there's a few wires hanging down...can anybody help to identify these?
Will update this thread as i go - my brothers wanting to swap wheels for ones he's got on his Celica...hmmm

The wires hanging down are the diagnostic plugs, DON'T plug them together or you will get an engine check light flashing at you and strange noises from the engine bay, just tie them up out of the way until you need them.

ah! Smashing cheers!
Thought when plugged together they give a sort of morse code to indicate the problem? or was that older ones?

well, after 10 days of ownership I got made redundant. so the car got laid up.
That was two months ago on the 31st!!
While it was off the road I've done abit tinkering, aswell as some DIY repairs that Gipa had to bail me out of (Legend)...I'll update this thread with real details and pictures.
This thread is to try and release some of the pent up tension of not being able to drive the fooker lol just two more weeks to go before I tax it again - I refused to pay tax for October to only use it for two weeks but pay for the whole month (why the Government can't allow you to tax it for 6 months from the date you tax it and not the 1st of the month).
