Out of curiosity, why?


1452...the need for clarification has me worried....lol

Re the battery, the car has been BTTF'd, and the puny little OEM battery isn't powerful enough to run all the extra lights/smoke/sounds for very long. The wiring is also shocking (no puns), so if I'm going to the trouble of re-doing it all, I might as well rectify the power issue while I'm at it :thumbsup:

No installing things? Thats gonna take some getting used to! I tend to only use 'fit' when putting something on the car that was already there previously: "Fit a new tyre, fit a new headlight bulb, take the car to quikfit so they put on new parts that don't need replacing" :p


No it’s dead simple, if you’re American you ‘install’ brake rotors, windshields, fenders & hoods
If you’re English you fit discs, windscreens, wings & bonnets :D

Welcome !

Have you purchased the Time Machine formerly owned by the Speakmans?

That was imported around 2005 into the UK
