  1. And the other two sailors who got the silver
  2. Not so much of a ***** now is he
  3. The main reason, as mentioned already is the car needs to be uprev'd to achieve the gains that fitting the plenum can offer, some will adopt the attitude that if the garage has to do the uprev then they may as well do everything. Others clearly want to learn and test themselves a bit by DIY'ing. I guess "easy to fit" should be gauged by your own skill level, and let's be honest most of us know what we are capable of. I did my own plenum but only after I had read manuals and instruction sets and determined that I was happy to attempt this, it went well and then it went to Abbey for the uprev. Now, compare this to a supercharger installation, for example, I would certainly seek help from someone more experienced than me if I did indeed decide to do this. Take a look at Keyser's thread and darren-b's too and you soon start to realise what some people can achieve. So, the key for me is research before attempting anything, don't take an "it's easy job" as an answer from anybody, it maybe for them but not for you or me. Just my two penny worth

  7. I guess it's all a bit of a muchness, Abbey Motorsport suggest Motul so that's what I use
  8. Got a lot to answer for, those Ruskies I've got 2 mortgages Being away from home is a worry for me but I've got to grow a pair at some point and realise that there is a wolrd outside Chester Business Park. Carla moved out a month or 2 back as we needed some space from one another as working together and living together was proving a bit much so we'll probably find it does us even more good. Get a reasonable pension but it still amounts to feck all based on my pension projections (8k a year in 2099 or something!). Private health (could get myself and has been useful with my injuries), full sick pay for 3 months then half for another 3, 4x annual salary life assurance. Apart from the security of being ill and being paid the benefits are nothing I couldn't walk away from. Sounds like a good move then to be honest. Travelling (even in the UK) makes you grow. I moved to Russia - a country I knew naff all about and didn't speak the lingo) at age 20 and I can honestly say it made me the person I am today.
  9. At some point I think you will regret this if you don't do it. For me it was the fear of the unknown and giving up all the stability ya da ya da ya................... You are young enough to make a move and correct it if it turns out to be a mistake. I jumped the PAYE ship years ago and if I had done it 10 years earlier I would probably have retired by now There are knowledgeable people on here to speak to regarding tax/accounting issues too. On a sheet of A4 write down a SWOT analysis for each opportunity and see where that takes you. I think you know the answer already though Your man obviously regards you quite highly as do your current employers, we all know how confident you are (in a nice way), you clearly get along with people and people like you. Why not try the 6 month thing and keep your spare cash to yourself for 6 months in case things don't work out, that way you have a cushion to fall back on while you sort yourself out and the experience you gain will be priceless. My guess is you'll make it bigger than your mate eventually. Carpe Diem and all that, with hindsight me spouting all this stuff is easy but I learnt the hard way that I should have done this years ago, believe in yourself, get out of a routine and see WTF happens. Failing that get a job as a journo/novelist/consumers champion!! Just my 2 penny worth, good luck with whatever you decide.
