Haha I can't believe tanks are road legal :D I'd say that pretty much covers any guys mid life crises for the next decade or 3 :p

Tbh I was looking at more a mid range, as much as I'd love to deafen my passangers I'm not sure how far my budget will stretch :( Also, how easy is it to change speakers?

I think you'll all agree with me when I say a kick ass sound system is one of the most important parts of a car :p ;) With that in mind, I'm looking for some advice on fitting a whole new system. Are there any specific brands to look out for? Any tips / tricks to make it sound better? Anything...

It's actually not bad round my area, apart from the small group of kids with (badly) modded cars people are fairly cautious :)

Thanks for the advice, hoping to start playing around by January :)

I've just about figured out what each light actualy means, which is probably a good start to not ignoring them :p

This is the problem I'm facing, on a first project there's a very good chance I won't be able to get it runing and will just treat it as a learning excersize. Fine if it's a dirt cheap car but seems a shame to sink a lot of money into it :/ And I've got a '96 Corsa so it's not exactly what...

Good point, loosk like it'll be worth getting some reading done before buying anything. Also seems it's harder to get a wrecked car than I thought, think I'll have to find a breaker / scrapyard... *edit* After thinking about this further I'm not sure jumping straight into a car that doesn't...

Not a bad idea and would probably work out cheaper, but I'm thinking it would be a pain to find some way of holding it while I worked on it, probably easier if it's already in a chassis. Plus as someone else said it'd be nice to actually drive the thing at some point :) I'll have a look on ebay...

Sounds like I'm on the right track then, just a case of finding a car that's broken enough to be a challenge but still realistically fixable. You mentioned cars with plenty of parts available, any recommendations?

Basically I currently know near enough nothing about engines, tuning, or cars in general :) This is however something I'd really like to change, and what better way than to buy a dirt cheap wreck and spend 5-6 months or so learning how it all works and slowly doing it back up to a drivable...

Hello, first post at what looks like a great forum :) Having just bought my first car (demon of a 1.2 Corsa :p) and finding myself in a position where I've got a lot of free time / a bit of spare cash each month, I'm trying to learn a bit more about how cars run etc. I'm sure I'll be posting...
