This should be all you need once you've got hold of the Xzibit chap

i like the look of those scanners. Is there a way to link it up to my brain by ingesting some of those "micro chips" from the previous page.

I would really like a minority report esque "heads up display".

Alos how do I avoid my floor falling out of my car when I get error messages such as "Danger to Manifold"?

Its big out there holla.

from what iv heard these are the best scanners out there  :undecided:

Have you got a link on how to install that into my dash please I have searched but couldn't find anything.

install is very easy you simply throw a brick at wind screen take out excess glass and araldite it to the dash for that head up display look..... with some minor cutting you can also fit it into the air vent slot this is the oem way to do it which aint very cool

Regarding glue issue, I suggest you pop to the following:

Poundland
Pound stretcher
Any other £1 shop

Stock up on loads of super glue. With this newly acquired glue, best thing I found was cracking it open and selotaping it in the inside of your arches, pierce a second hole in the glue one mounted, this causes the glue to drip. Repeat on all other wheels.

I have tried UHU and PVA, but in grip, terms super glue is the right stuff to go, even works better when you have like no tread init, its like a slick tire but with even more grip.

Speaking of glue and selotape, I actually remade my entire chassis. Wrapped it all in selotape then used glue as a to bond it all together and make it go hard. Then I just whiped it off and bang. DIY carbon fibre chassis. Car now weights 1.1tons instead of 1.2, absolute winner.

Sounds good mate, will have to get it ago. Whilst on weight saving. I made bucket seats out of cardboard and wood, so much lighter than stock. Also replaced all windows except front with cling film. Thing is as light as a feather now.
