I went to pick the new alloys up yesterday night, chatted to the lad for a bit then jumped into the car to drive home, turned the key and nothing...  :cry:



So he helped me jump her :wink: and then I remembered the mechanic telling me it was loosing charge ''but that could just be because it had stood about for 7 weeks''  :undecided: it wasnt lol, the battery was just on its way out!  :sad:

so this morning got up early to get a new battery, went for the heaviest duty one that would fit in the space, so ... THIS IS VARTAAAAA!!!!!!  :grin:

Glad you're back on the road  :cool:
Just don't start wishing you could have added some phat mods when the engine was out  :laugh:
Because we both know you though about doing something mad  :tongue:

Cheers dude :afro: totaling up the bills is never a good idea :laugh: at one point I was seriously thinking break it and buy another car ... soooooooo glad I didnt, the car feels so 'solid' now, the vr6 clutch and G60 flywheel was definitely a good upgrade, and the new turbo has definitely made a difference  :evil:  ... better start saving up for my coillies again  :grin:

How did you know!? :laugh: Yeah the will was there to upgrade the turbo, injectors, fast road cam etc but as its my daily I still need some sort of MPG :( lol. As far as engine mods I have planned for the future, FMIC and remap thats about it (famous last words) :grin:
