Do you have an Conzult ?. If so download the Bin file form each of the chips as I'm sure this will be of much more use to the chip mapping guys. Personally I don't have a clue about the chip maps myself, I've looked at my map but don't really know what I'm looking at LOL.

Some people just don't play buy the rules. Starting prices and reserves are there for a reason. If someone bids on the item with no reserve and wins the seller has to sell that item for tha price. Ebay his arse and leave negative feedback once e-bay are informed. They will either ban his user or issue him with a warning. They won't go legal over 99p unfortunately unless the item is deemed to be worth much more in terms of hundreds of pounds. The problem is that it has now cost you money to recieve the money back from him in terms of a refund or do you not get charges for refunds ? What's his feedback score like ?

Doh, yes I will chage that as well.

LMAO !!!. I tried to change that but can not seem to be able to change it in edit more. I'll have to have a look at it again and see if I can sort it. Good to see someone read the whole description.

I'm thinking mod or low £4000 as well Steve. I'll put it up shortly and post the link here.

Just read through all the ebay fees for motors. £8 to list £4 for a reserve If it meets the reserve the fees are: £1 - £2000 = £20 £2001 - £3500 = 1% £3500 + = £35 So for £12 I'm going to stick it on there just to see how much it will hit. I doubt the reserve will be met so it's just a sweep stake on how much it will get. How much do you think the final bid will be ? I'll put it on there tonight.

That calculator doesn;t include the ebay motors options. Which I think is a set listing fee plus a % of the winning bid. It's been on Piston heads for almost 2 months now. I've listed it at a higher price as I know I hae to be a little flexible and probably knowck a grand off the asking price.

I'm thinking about putting my car on ebay with a starting price of £100 but a reserve of £8.5k. How much it is going to cost me to advertise this with a reserve for a 7 day auction ? I very much doubt it will meet the reserve, but I'm very interested to see what Joe public thinks it's worth. Maybe we should have a sweep stake before I do it. On a 7 day auction... I recon it will get to £4,800 Place your bets now !!!

what's your budget Harve ?

It's been a hard year for my wife. Our daughter is 14 months old and it's such a pain for her to go out anywhere as nothing is local to us and public transport sucks, especially when you have a baby. She passed her theory test almost a year ago and finally passed her driving test after the 4th attempt today. It was such a reflief for both of us because I know she can drive, but each time she took her test the nerves got the better of her. I wasn't even excited about her test today as I guess I was expecting her to fail again due to nerves. I bought some rescue remedy for her today and it looks like it did the job. Bought a tear to my eye when she told me she passed (well after the usual, "sorry babe I failed again" jokes). Well done Ana, now you can go to tesco's on your own, 'cause I fooking hate shopping LMAO !!!!

How many people have read this and thought . I know that song but I haven;t got a scooby what the next line is ?

Something very interesting. Everyone has heard this song but can you tell me the missing line of it ? Woke up this morning feeling fine There something special on my mind .... Something tells me I'm into something good. And a little tip !!! It's not ... We give you 60 times more than these other banks could (oh yeah) ;)

I wouldn't call it a rip off. If you can get it or do it yourself for cheaper then it's not a rip off. If you can't and there is a massive proffit margin then it is. Take Petrol for instance, we can't get it cheaper ourselves but the amount of tax put on it makes it a rip off. If we can import a car for less than the importers then why not do it yourself ?. What you are aksing them to do is import it for you and sell it to you at almost cost price. I woudl refuse this also if I was a car dealer. Any good importer will have someone on the other side. Someone that checks the cars out in Japan or US, this information is then passed back to the dealer to avoid the dealers buying and being stuck with Sheds. That's one of the advantages the dealer has over you. If you import the car yourself you may well be stuck with large repair bills down the line. You get what you pay for the majority of the time.

170F 76C is my normal running temp now I've got everything sorted. That's with a howe Rad, slam panels, Greddy IC's, bigger turbo's and electric fan.

Can you do one for me ;). On a serious note I'm sending you the bin file shortly. Haven;t had a chance to get it off the laptop yet.

When he said the car was too damp, surely he can dust inside the car ?

The whole ECU or just a chip to run them ?

The guy on the left looked like he got hit the hardest :)

Nice, are the sub enclosures sectioned off for the correct area of volume for the subs ?

I work in one of the only Banks that hasn't been shafted big time by this. But then this bank is Spanish rather than English or American so I'm assuming the way the food chain works, Santander will start feeling pressure by the 2nd half of this year, just as the situation in England and US starts to settle, then we should see very small and slow rises of the pound v euro as the euro markets start to suffer. Not until 3rd or 4th quarter of 2010 will be start to stablise effectively enough to pull us out of recession and even then we won't fully recover for another 2 - 3 years after.

I have a feeling he thought it was worth much more so put in a bid himself under his pseudo name b1g nob :)

I know these ones. 1) Jacking up the car under the autobox 2) Missing lower bolt from starter motor. YAY 2 points for me. Oh... are we not playing that game any more ?

I was pretty close to start with then when I said snapped timing belt !. I should at least get half a win for that LMAO !! As for Jimmy Winning. If you guess 100 times, one of them is bound to be right :D
