good bye old friend, im gonna miss you.




mwhahahahahaaaaaaa im gonna get rid of its engine gearbox and axles and then... v6 time 😎

[craig]

Tuned in for v6 progression!

[Draven]

Interested to see progress

[qwakers]

ive fitted a hidden switch to the underside of the nose cone...

challenge... guess what its for.. there is a clue a couple of pages back

[Draven]

Security so no one can steal the car?

[qwakers]

no i live in cornwall i even leave the keys in it

[Draven]

Does it turn into an autobot if you press the button..??

or

Deceptacon?

[qwakers]

lol thats a brilliant image, i like, but no, im afraid not.

[Draven]

Well, i give up.

[qwakers]

it switches a heavy relay that isolates the rear fusebox so the alternator stops draining the battery. as im swapping the engine soon it wasnt worth fixing properly...

[Draven]

That was going to be my next guess

[SonicSW20]

Probably would have been less effort to just fix the drain issue

Points for the alternative solution though!

[Draven]

I'm interested as to the location though.. why not inside the car? on the dash perhaps.

but that would have involved spending money

[qwakers]

because my central locking doesnt work when its switched off and i didnt want to be able to see it or drill a bloody great hole in the dash.

[Draven]

Oh I see, it'd upset me having a hole in my bumper even if i couldn't see it. and it would rub on my OCD that it is leeching power i'd have to fix it myself.

[qwakers]

ah well yes, i can repair the bumper after the engine swap if it bothers me, but.. i have plans that involve holes in bumper, and that one is in the right place......

[Draven]

I see, still awesome progress on the car..

[qwakers]

what do y'all think about the garrett t3 turbo on a v6? im thinking its a little small but what do i know?
