got new radio for my vectra as the std one and having to burn cd's all the time was doing my head in. sadly it dont work with my ipod for some reason. will have to work out why at some point.
but it does work great with a usb pen atleast so i dont have to burn no cd's. the sound quality from the std speakers in my gsi is pretty good. will add an amp and a sub at some point i think and perhaps upgrade the fronts.
time to wash it if i cant find the newcastle game to watch on the inernet.

Nic do you ever wish you had fitted that bugatti veyron engine into your corsa your mate had in at the yard a few months back?

well some days i do. as its quite easy to fit aswell. i think chris astley does mount kits, and my mate who works on the oil rigs could get me some material that we could make into drive shafts on his mini lathe. i often think im wasting time with a c20let and fwd. i mean i know i can do anything to cars, as the pic above of me fitting my own radio proves.

I was thinking more along the lines of skyline floorpan and engine tuned to 1100bhp
I'm sure TE would help you out here and there.

It disables the interior alarm sensors so you can leave the windows down a touch in the summer etc without the alarm going off when a fly comes through the window or if you leave a dog in the car etc.

launch control is being investigated at some point. right foot does it for now although ive no idea how the car will drive this time.
anti-lag, not really thought about it. its a light weight fwd car, bit of lag will help it id say anyway.

it went alright. only figures i know really are 351bhp at 0.6bar, 419 at 1bar.
its having issues on the rollers climbing out and spinning them up so its going to be left as it is for now just over 500bhp so i can get stuff like solid enginr mounts as it moves a fair bit in the bay and also until we arange more straps and blocks of wood on inner wings with strap over front end etc.
