Or alternative is night school. Skip the apprenticeship and go back to school in the evenings or something similar. Study something technical and apply for jobs in that field. Obviously research a field that is in demand. I hear engineering is in demand atm.

Sorry, didn't mean it to come off like that. I know lots of people who were on pennies an hour like you say. My brother did an electrical apprenticeship with a company called Clarkson Evans, and there you work on price, so provided you work hard, you get the money back. He could pull some serious money through hard grafting and long days. It's hard work, but you've got to start somewhere.

Stock brakes on the EP are shocking. They fade like mad lmao!

Stuff that people have no interest in. IT. If you get an apprenticeship in IT then you really can earn a mint. But I understand for most IT is just the computer they use to browse the forums lol/ Mate I was on £17500 per annum on my apprenticeship. And they paid for my Degree lmao.

To be honest when I done my apprenticeship I had people on my course in their thirties mate. So you're really never to old. Depends what you're good at and if there is money to be made...

Yeah I used a socket with a magnet inside that caught the keepers. Did lose a few so it's handy to buy some spares.

Hmm, yeah he's an electrician so he'll have a gauge. Mine does do it to an extent. I was thinking maybe a bad earth or what not. Cheer though.

Does the light still come on? Surely you must have thought something when you're on 300 or so miles with stil la full tank?

So when in my brothers car we notice the idle drop significantly when the alternator is under load. Now it does this in my car, but not to the extent that it does in my brothers. It will idle spot on at 1000 rpm, turn everything on, heaters on full, lights, dipped and fogs. Then the idle drops to around 400-600 rpm, amazing it doesn't stall. Naturally he is trying to avoid this at the moment. But was just wondering if anyone else has incurred anything similar.

Used rope the other weekend. And a pair of pliers and a pair of helping hands. Easy enough to do. No need to remove cambelt from crank if it's all marked up properly. A tool to remove the collets is a much welcomed tool!

Type R all the way. Bullet proof motors that love high rpm usage. Where they lack mid-range they more than make up in the over rev. It only feels slower because you have to scream it for the power, but there is something nice about that. My mate picked up this red one two weeks ago for 2K. 143'000 miles on the clock, sounds like it's done 20'000 and pulls like that as well. Just credit to Honda really, they know how to build a solid motor. Oh and I disagree with 'lack of performance' comments above. If any of you's were at Japfest then you must have seen that Silver Type R round the tr

Ollie what is this lmao. Get back in the Jap scene lol. Although was at the Asda the other week and there were a fair few BMW motors there, and it was funny to watch them drift the fecker lol. -

Yes mate, them wheels though! They really suit that car -
In an edition of Banzai magazine (maybe last months) there was a guy who wanted to go there, but didn't want to drive around in a boring everyday car. He actually found a company which would hire out proper JDM cars. He had an Integra Type R (JDM of course). Went to a local car meet in that. Really interesting.

I just leave mine to chatter cause it sounds awesome But on high performance cars, pushing serious boost, a dump is required to safely dump the intake gases.

I'm pretty sure that if it's got a JAM ECU then it will not need a Fuel cut defender since that's built into the ECU pal. I know that's the case with the Blitz ecu and a lot of other ones.

Welcome dude. Throw some pictures up and let's have a look Don't see to many N/A 80's around my way.

Because the engine is designed to be assisted by the turbo, without the turbo, the ignition, low compression pistons and head clearance, will cause induced lugging due to the lack of performance. The mapping and fueling is designed with the turbo forced induction in mind. Basically Colin, I forgot to do a boost pipe up on my motor and it blew off, and the car was a little more difficult to drive. Kept stalling it and shit cause it wasn't getting the assistance of the turbo. So I figured it can't be good for the engine.

Yep, that's vented to atmosphere. Sorry. We reckon that helped, the PCV valve seemed fubar! I was thinking maybe it's damaged the ring lands, piston etc. It's got receipts for genuine pistons but I'm not convinced they're were ever designed to run TD04 Hybrid. He never batters it to an inch of its life. Drives it hard now and then. But not thrashed. Thanks though.

Hi guys, Just wanting your opinion on this. Last weekend I helped my brother do his valve stem seals on his car. When doing it I could see that the old valve stem seals were totally ruined and non-genuine. The car has paperwork for an engine rebuild two years ago, including valve stem seals and other stuff. The engine is putting out around 180 psi on all four cylinders. The car is running hybrid TD04 on stock internals at around 0.65 bar. It pulls very well and there are no nasty knocks and bangs. After doing the valve stem seals, we are finding that the car is still

I didn't think it was a good idea to run a car without the turbo?

Starter motor was fine. Battery was flat. Despite being a brand new battery. The battery shows no sign of distinctive charge when running. Verdict is that the alternator is faulty.
