I did a HND in Motorsport Engineering, then a BSc in Motorsport Technology in Swansea Metropolitan university.

As I did not have an A level in maths or Physics.

Hindsight a BEng is the way to go as it teaches you a lot of thermal and fluid dynamics which I didnt get in my courses.

I kind of disagree Yoshimitsu666 (I do see the plus points in getting a trade), but I graduated in June 2010 and started my first engineering job in August 2010, I have now progressed and work for Cummins (Holset) as an aerodynamics engineer. If you are willing to look and move the employment is there. However there are a lot of applicants for jobs out there these days.

Just don't think motorsport engineering qualifications are the only way into motorsport, majority of engineers in motorsport have general mechanical engineering degrees.

The only advantage of motorsport degrees is that you learn a lot more hands on in terms of chassis setup and race car dynamics.

The best way into motorsport is a good engineering qualification, and experience. If you want to work in a race team in later life get volunteering with smaller teams now, get the experience and exposure.

But try Swansea university (I have had friends who attended here and did BEng) or Swansea metropolitan (where I went and did HND, and BSc. They also offer a BEng).

Any questions give me a shout as I have been through the courses, and got a job at the end (same as Iddy).

Will throw in adjustable actuator and fcd just a pump and pressure reg away from 1 bar boost and 170ish bhp

Penny for you're thoughts folks?

I've seen that a few times on my way to crossfit in Brighouse

Thought you had your heart set on mine hahaha.

Still available. Got an RX7 owner sending me pics on a daily basis lol.

Don't always assume the Japanese take utmost care of their cars. They can be cowboys and sell crap on just like westerners. I once had a 32gtr which was proper bent underneath and bodged back together.

By all means come get it lol

Huddersfield bud

Crossfit ftw

Here are some quick pics I took off my phone yesterday (sorry golf clubs not included lol).

2-3 weeks bud. Can post though if you want it sooner

Will take some more flattering and interesting pics when weather picks up :-)

Sweet I can bring it home to swansea when I visit my parents next if you want it?

Year:1999
Model: Glanza V
Tax: 11/2014
MOT: 05/2015
Mileage: 51k Miles


Description:

I have been offered an FD so think I am going to take the plunge and get it so need to sell my V to fund it.

I am in no rush to sell this so will wait for what I think its worth (so no comments on price everyone has their opinion but if its not constructive please keep it out of this thread).

The car is a 2000 Glanza on a V plate (not many of those around).

It was imported in 2009 by a friend of mine in Swansea and I remember him bringing it in so its had 1 UK owner (me being the second).

Mileage is 50k miles (give or take a few miles).

It has always been looked after and serviced as I have the Toyota service book here he used to keep track of it being done.

The car has changed a little since I bought it so here is a the important spec bits:

Engine is still stock

Boost is stock (including stock actuator)

ARC TMIC

Some unknown air filter

Zisco Decat

FGK Powergetter exhaust

Type R boost gauge (never seen one before)

so not much to brag about with engine apart from being stock, clean, a low mileage baseline to start with.

Gearbox is still stock with the shifter bushes swapped for ball bearings instead.

Gmax shocks and springs (not sure of the drop in terms of mm)

15" Atech Schneider wheels with T1r all round.

Evo VI front seats

Rear stripped out with false floor

Rear 3 point brace

Bodywork consists of replica:

JAM front Lip and rear bumper

ID Workz Livesportz wing

Sideskirts I got from ID Workz

ID Workz JAM headlight eyebrows (to be fitted)

Genuine Toyota duck mid spoiler

Loads of history and paperwork and receipts (all old MOT, tax discs, receipts for parts).

Car also has Cat 1 Alarm and Immobiliser

Price: £4500 (no px or silly offers as I say I will keep hold of it as the FD is sat in a garage until I get the funds)
