NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you cant loose interest!
i cant wait to see this thing go!
But there is nowt worse than not being able to drive the car when you do so much work on it!
Fan should be fine, i had mine pulling and it didnt work verry well.

it will get finished. just a case of whenever instead of sooner. its in the back of my mind to sell it actually.
i put that fan onto a battery charger before to check it. works pretty well. if its no good, i will somehow make the other one work. i probably could, im just looking for the easy and lazy fix at the moment. i really just cant be bothered with cars lately.

Its just one of them things, there always seems to be something else to buy or modify to get it how you want it, but in the end it will be worth it

well ive pretty much got everything i need for it. there isnt much left to do just modify some existing stuff here and there. it could probably start up really with a bit altering to the map.
ive had the car for about 4 years nearly. its been a turbo for over 3 and a half years. its time for a change. i cant afford to keep going with it. and i have no aims no more. to run at ten of the best was the aim and ive done that with a driveway build. things arent driveway jobs anymore. its all getting too technical and i just cant be arsed some days.
sell up and buy an impreza or something seems a good plan to me.

Nic do you not want to aim for like a T.V feature or something first and then think about calling it a day?
If theres not many major things left to do might be worth it
And just because there a lot more high powered / technical lets out there now yous is still well known if you ask me and thats a good enough reason to carry on

car mag features are not what im interested in at all. far from it really. i never wash the car, well, rarely. i just use and abuse it. its what it was made for. infact it was only ever made becuase i thought id see what driveway conversions could come up with. its done well considering im no mechanic or engine tuner.
i doubt its well known apart from on here from the past. im not giving up becuase of anyone elses car, thats nothing to do with it. i just havent got the money, or the skills to carry on any further with it. that to me is a reason to give up.

i not giving up just yet. just maybe taking some time out. save a few pennies etc. buying the vectra has ruined it i think. as its the perfect car for me and the corsa isnt really.
