I am in need of help to convince my father (BYB01) to put the twin turbo motor we have here into my car.

So can you all please help me out in encouraging him?
I might even organise a day of it, for those of you who are keen to help him put it in =) haha.

I thought it was going in ages ago?

just turn on the charm? :P

It was, but then he ran out of time while I didn't have my licence and so it never got done and now it's 'too fast' for me ... so I'm trying to convince him that it's not.

The charm no longer works, he sees right through that now. I am not the cute little kid anymore, I think it's turned into not so cute and not so teenage daughter now.

he wont do it cause he knows you'll be better than him,lol

better,faster,stronger,but always his little girl.....

just put the damm twins in brett

What dep said. Do it already !!

I think he's scared that I'll not only be faster but look better too isn't that right dad? C'mon ... just put the motor in there already .... please

threaten to never move out.

gee if you use that threat he'll fit it and detail the whole car as well

If I use that threat that will mean I will have to go through with it. I can't move out of home, too much to do for myself.
Plus, if I moved out Mum wouldn't forgive him because she would miss me too much.

hahahahhhahahaaah but the idea is there

ok, drop sump plug go for long drive.
once the car stops grab out your mobile 'daddy my cars stopped!!! the engine seems seized <insert hysterical crying> maybe you can use that tt engine to fix him'

this is working for me so far

start doing the swap yourself and then get stuck on purpose- "dad how do you do the next part?" then get stuck again" and this part", eventually he will end up doing it all for you.

i didnt pick up on it before but why does dad's little girl have the name bruce?

I have told Bruce I will help with the convincing...But If she loses her licence AGAIN for speeding, the car will be SOLD.

Sign on the dotted line

That's fair. Keep your big hoof out of it bruce !!

Dad's got too much to do now. Give him a break. Trade that old Lib on a new WRX.

I am named Bruce because of finding Nemo -- the big shark, 'Hello, my name is Bruce'. It kinda just stuck.

Byron, you are not helping the situation =(

I even threw in the ... you can put a lift kit in my car while you are changing the motor if you like.

But I must say, my car is booked in every weekend from the 11th October until 5th November to have my motor put in. YAY, thanks for the convincing guys (and mum).

Well it is happening tomorrow. Whether it is a good thing or not I don't know. At least she has shut up now.
