Hi

 

I'm new here. I have a mk3 soop and am looking around for my next toy! My everyday car is a 52 plate reno laguna diesel, chipped and played with 177bhp at wheels 55mpg. Soop is my plaything bought with some assembly required, engine in boot, just getting it to install stage.

And looking at 1jz or 2jz conversion.

I'm from sunny canvey in essex uk nearly 40 and have been a mechanic since I was 17. I now work for a bus dealer(optare) and work on cars doing fault diag at weekends, solus pro by snap-on , good bitta kit

 

Thanks for reading my drivel

 

Colin

Hi Colin, welcome to the club!

 

Are you a mechanic on the buses? If so are they easier or harder to work on than cars?

 

the elecs are a pain as they are "can" systems basasicly 3 wires run the engine gearbox retarder(electric brake) and body systems

i can change a diff in around 3 hours pull an engine in around an hour.

but im mobile and work for a bus dealer optare http://www.optare.com 6 of us cover from birmingham down to lands end:( i came out of car dealer ships, ford,vaux,toyota and lexus, and havent looked back.

love the job enjoy the drivin, every day is a differant challenge
