Nice one mate. 8)

I'll be the first then, as a driver with little experience, tread carefully! I know it hasn't got mental power etc, but RWD and a little poke come the icy roads and things can soon get out of shape - epecially for a n00b.

Have fun!

Sweet dude! Good stuff, It'll be awesome. Like speedy said, if you need any help, I'd be more than happy to help too. Glad you got the wheel off me too, sorry I missed you!

thanks for the heads up everyone.
i know im not a very experienced driver yet seeing as ive only been driving on the road for six months and i will look after my self and be carefull, but i am more experienced than most 17 year olds as i work in the motor trade and drive different cars every day, also i drive my brothers e46 m3 most weeks which has over double the power than this but then its probably one of the easiest cars to drive with the traction on! haha

Haha, yeah I noticed the engine had a bit of a rattle when I moved it when I got home so going to do the tappets.
Once its all back together I'm going to see if I can find the problem with wiring to that sensor, if all fails I guess ill just get a new wiring loom.
I actually quite liked the Orange stripes but I want the car to feel like mine and with them it still felt like yours Haha, sounds wierd but ey Haha.
