    Fiat Cunto Van

    Right - I've done quite a bit to this ol' tank..... just after a lil advise.


    Should I tint the rear window, or vinyl str8 over it? I have also seen the 'proper' van grille and aren't sure what to do next (other than fit wood and carpet in the rear for the dog).

    Wind deflectors and HIDs now fitted.... I did contact a company to vinyl the bonnet and roof - just waiting on a response because they're hard to paint and get a nice finish with rattle cans

    My only advise would be to consider a more memorable web site name, as if I saw you driving and I was interested, I wouldn't have a chance in hell of remembering all that.

    Yeah I have thought about that... for now, I'm just 'local' and small. I do a lot of running, and park it next to roundabouts, and the main A12/A47 for an hour while out training...


    Even parking it on the main road (next to mine) generates phone calls surprisingly. I've pulled up at friends houses, and I'll get a phone call with a car parked next to it. But yeah, a co.uk would do more favourably.


    I'll see what my money is like this year - most of my earnings goes on buying ECU's off ebay and scrapyards so I can learn more. Other than that - its business cards, t shirts, mugs, banners, pens, and all other promotional stuff to keep the calls coming in :-)

    I doubt I'll be changing it for the next few months at least - but cheers, I'll have a nosey at the .org and other ones (I saw them on a site at some business seminar thingy).


    Software update was £1600 for new cars like Focus ST checksum families, New Volvo, VAG, Peugeot, Citroen, BMW etc... those payments start this year - and I'm still owing £1000 on my newest remapping tool. So I'm still yet to profit from the last 7 years of learning and buying equipment.


    Hopefully I'll have a fairly good year, doing servicing and diagnostic fault reading again - so I'll be able to pay for a decent domain... maybe even change the wording slightly and get a .co.uk or .com for myself

    But - I also want a better (more professional) website designed at some point... so its all 'spend spend spend'

    No way!! Ha!

    I obviously earn - or I'd have no house/internet/car/clothes/food etc.


    Winter is supposed to be a crap time of year, and I had quite a few different cars visit me. Focus 1.6, Focus 1.8, 2008 BMW 3.0 diesel that two big companies near to me couldn't 'crack', BMW Mini Cooper S, BMW Mini Cooper S (2009 that is supposedly tamper proof), Saxo VTR (easy peasy Bosch), erm - had a 306gti last Saturday, Golf 1.9tdi few days ago. Waiting on a 5 series beemer - but thats a friend, so i'm just charging him for the file.

    Today for example - once I've ran Dickhead (my staffy)... I'll be studying two Peugeot EDC16 ecu's, because I want everything in my head. When I've finished with those (EDC16 C34) I will get a couple 'original' EDC16 U1 (vag) files and study the whole file. even maps I don't always adjust like EGR and rail pressure - its nice compiling everything because the more I learn... the more I earn!


    Makes sense spending on good equipment (as opposed to ebay crap), and buying ECUs from scrapyards - because the money I earn is mine after working on a car.

    (oh - i've got two slavetools coded to me for sale, but i should probably post that in the 'sale' section)
