I have a question regarding the corsa and astra loom
I did a engine swap and i used the astra loom with my corsa ecu. same looms only theres one connector i don't know what its for.
its a white connector 2 pin connector on the corsa loom that goes from ecu to a connector that goes inside the dash.the astra loom connects to all corsa connectors except the 2 pin white one.the astra loom has a black 3 pin female connector.
So i have too connectors left.The one from the corsa coming out the dash (white 2 pin female connector) and the one coming from the astra loom(black 3 pin female connector)
Will check again tonight what the wire colors are but the white connector has a black/white and brown/white wires.
My main question is what is the white connector for and how can i connect it to the astra loom
Oh its the 2000 opel corsa lite 1.4 and i have the 98 opel astra 1.6 loom ]]> Snake http://www.ihav.net/vb/cars-transportation/help-loom-connectors-1183198.html http://www.ihav.net/vb/cars-transportation/brakes-have-no-pressure-1183186.html Wed, 28 Oct 2009 07:03:41 GMT Recently got the brakes "fixed" because I had a leak on one of the brake lines and the master cylinder was leaking.

When you first buy it do you only pay the deposit and then the monthly instalments the following month? Thanx for any answers in advance. ]]> rocky_redman86 http://www.ihav.net/vb/cars-transportation/question-about-motorbike-insurance-1182820.html http://www.ihav.net/vb/cars-transportation/need-opinions-advice-help-first-car-1182802.html Mon, 26 Oct 2009 07:06:24 GMT Alright, so I've recently gotten my license and have taken the advanced driving course (the stunt driving one) I'm going to say I like speed, I'm good at driving, and also have a fair amount of common sense. Anyways, I have 14 grand to work with. BEFORE you comment, I don't care if you had to work for your car, I'm in school, and busting my balls in a 30 hour job + school doesn't work for me. I have a disposable income and don't want some 98 ford. I know for a fact that I'm not bad enough of a driver that I'm going to wreck it. Plus I'm going to have it for a while and don't want to look like bad in it. That aside, I don't like American cars, you can give me however many statistics you can find, I don't care, I'm just not getting a car made by Americans. So that leaves me too...Audi, Honda, Hyundai, Toyota, BMW, Nissan, and some other imports. I want good handling so I can play around a bit, ( I don't live too far from the desert) and something that can push 100 pretty easy. Yes I know I said 14 grand and I'm probably not going to get anything close to that but whatever.

I'm interested so far in...Audi R4, Bmw 330i, 325i, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Sentra, Hyundai Accent and Elantra


Any personal recommendations? reviews for the ones I listed.

I really don't want to hear the "Buy a clunker, your going to crash it anyways" or the "I worked for my car" I don't want a clunker? And That's cool, my dad is a doctor.

Current car.. worth maybe 3-5k at most according to kbb
Dodge avenger 2000 es v6 80k miles, automatic, well taken care of

Looking at getting a car in the next two years to replace the avenger

Must be relatively new, hopefully nothing older than a 2005 or 2006
must have relatively lower miles, under 40-45k
must be "sporty", i'm a guy who loves cars i don't want to be driving a rio, or a cavilier if you know what i mean...
maybe a v6 instead of a 4cyl? depends how good the car is..
i'd like to stay under 10-12k $..
now, this is where it's tricky.. see if i wait 2 more years to buy one, a 10-12k dollar car than could be a lot more right now i just don't know how much they will decrease in price yet


what do you guys suggest?

i mean there is not a whole lot out there that is "attractive" to me. maybe the s2000, or TL, or a 350z?

It left a slightly deep scratch about 2 inches wide on the plastic molding of my bumper, near my rear license plate.

Is it possible to get this repaired, and if so, how much can I expect to be paying?
