Cant fit a 1.4 head. The 8v energy engines have inlets at the back of the engine where on the DIET they're at the front. Dunno about the 16vs but they're a different engine code as well so basically no they won't fit. I disgree with the comments that its not worth doing;. A cam will only be...

Catcams do various camshaft profiles; http://www.catcams.co.uk/acatalog/Renault_Twingo_1.2L_8v.html (Its listed for the twingo but its the same engine - i.e. DIET/D7F). There was also some palce in germany that did exhaust manifolds but i can't remember the name now - been about 5 years since...

Aye, thats for ripping - not encoding to avi.

Questions...questions... Can anyone tell me how quickly a dvd can be encoded to xvid these days on decent hardware? Reason i ask is that i'm loosing patience getting my library onto my media streaming server and am looking for a faster way...currently i encode using the works laptop...

Was in my mighty 1.8 mondeo...basking in the supreme comfort and powah! lol Another month and the clio will be road worthy tho...can't wait!

Sounds about right. There was a definate cloud of uber mk2 gayness surrounding it - will the lad never learn ;p lol

Spotted...at Dyce airport roundabout this morning @ 7:30?

Doing a bit of research on mk1 springs; - Are mk2 the same fitment between 172 and non 172? - For non 172 lowering springs does a claimed 60mm drop really drop it 60mm? Thanks in advance!

Think i have a 'licence' for that stuff too... ;)

lol Nah, TBF WHS is ok...i just went for SBS as i 'obtained' a licence for free and, as i do programming, it allowed me to have IIS/sharepoint/SQL Server and i can bung Virtual Server on too. Does take a bit of configuring i agree... :)

Well I'm currently running 4 drives in my mini itx rack case - 2 lots of 2 mirrors (80 GB OS and 500GB data)...think i'll probably blow that away and stick 4 750GB drives in with one of those new EPIA SN boards (as they have a RAID 5 controller integrated). Home server is poop...i bought it...

Thanks Daz. I'll go scan fleebay for the super g equivalent of my router. My next problem will be storage...think for all my dvds i'm gonna need 1.5TB! My poor mini itx box! lol

Not going to divx/xvid them as i want the ability to burn a dvd copy...plus encoding them will take even longer! :( I can wire the HTPC to the router but the server will still be wireless so that kinda rules that option out too. Does anyone know if the wireless N draft 2 equipment will be...

I'm wanting to build a HTPC for under the telly so i can play films accross my network from a server in the loft...thats no problem but i have a question about the wireless bandwidth i'll need; Given that the HTPC will effectively be opening a DVD ISO accross the network would 108MBPS (i.e...

Yes its the CIFS/SMB interface thats really the issue, not linux or windows themselves. Rather a pity as i quite liked the idea of the free NAS distribuitions to solve my problem and, if i wasn't going to have to deal with isos, i would have gone for it. Still, what can you do? WHS...
