Supercharging the Ibiza - Progress Thread, the beginning

[Chrisdaman]

yeh gd point, how easy was yours to fit?

 

[m0rk]

tell you tomorrow, but yes, the wiring loom I've bought makes it a very easy job.

 

[ibiza_95]

do you buy the wiring loom for the car?

i was under the impressin it was a kind of 'universal' wiring loom that you build to suit the car?

 

[m0rk]

yup - universal wiring loom, all labelled up etc

so I'll just cut into one of my looms to make up tails at the car end, solder & heatshrink the OE loom to MS loom & job's a good 'un

connect all that up (no bother) earth a few connections, and it's a job well done.

 

[Chrisdaman]

eddy fits everything and the megasquirt, i'm not good with wiring at all, gna learn as i go though, he'll show me how everything works etc

 

[HarveyGTI]

so Chris, do you have a set date yet for when all of this will be completed, be good to camp together with your supercharged car

 

[Chrisdaman]

dunno yet mate, probs wont be ready for edition, i'm gna wait for my student loan to buy most of it lol, fitting will be free / very cheap

 

[ScotlandToIbiza]

[Fl@pper]

nice to see our hard earned tax dollars taken for subsidising younger generations education are going to good use at last then

if only they knew what a total arse SLC are to deal with.... and how the interest they tell you they're going to charge you is a hell of a lot more than it should be.

Or that they start charging the interest before you are even able to begin repaying it

 

[Chrisdaman]

i'm 19, starting uni (1st year of degree but 2nd year cos i did a foundation year) doing automotive engineering

yeh the last loan payment bought my car

 

[m0rk]

seriously - if you don't need it - don't take it. The SLC are still f*cking me over after I paid mine off 2yrs ago

 

[Chrisdaman]

SLC = Student Loan Company? noob here lol

i'm only gna take it this year to set me straight, then the two years after i'll pay it

 

[ScotlandToIbiza]

is there interest on the loans?? was sure there wasnt :?

 

[m0rk]

there sure is...... boy did you not read the small print.

I think if you're earning about 20k you're payments taken in your wages cover the interest if you borrowed ~12k - so you make no headway, and takes you ages to pay back.

and then when you do, they just keep taking

 

[Chrisdaman]

yeh there isnt as far i'm aware, not on my loans anyway

 

[ScotlandToIbiza]

im only getting 1.2k from SLC
