When it stops raining...

I've just got my car back after leaving it with K-Tec for a couple of weeks. Basically, I wanted my DBW throttle back because I was getting a little fed up of the throttle cable sticking, as well as the other little quirks you get with a Ph1 TB (sticking, funny idle, etc). I also had an...

Dunno? Probably requires racing fuel or something? Or maybe, in typical Renault style, they over-hyped the power figures?

Are they? I thought the Prolines felt firmer than my Sportlines do.

Prolines are slightly stiffer than Sportlines. However, Sportlines lower by more, they're cheaper and IMO they actually feel better on the road. Definitely get the Whiteline ARB though. After being in a 172 with one fitted, it's definitely going to be my next investment after the brakes I...

He did mention something about 317bhp. He also said that it was making so much torque it caused the paddle clutch to slip, so he had to tone it down a tad. :approve:

How come? Spill! :evil:

Andy @ K-Tec did it. The map was great TBH, although it's been re-mapped again for more boost and I don't pick the car up until tomorrow so I don't know what the new map's like. I'm sure it'll be all good though. I've been in quite a few cars he's done and they've all ran great. A lot of people...

Great pictures. I can't help but think that the Rockingham track sticker kind of looks like an upside down c**k and bawbag though.

Any custom remap can be tailored to prefer 97RON+. The higher the octane rating the more resistant the fuel is to detonation under compression. Therefore, the ignition timing can be retarded slightly, thus giving a bigger bang when it does spark and theoretically giving more power / efficiency...

Mine isn't. It's protected by the layers of dried on dirt IIRC.

Our customers are mainly schools so we have to lock the machines down to an extent that most people would find them utterly useless. No right clicking, no saving to the desktop, redirected start menu, can't install stuff, locked down internet, locked down network configuration, add-ons disabled...

Depends if they've already been replaced. I hardly ever replace anything on mine now because it's already been done. Apart from the consumables obviously, but even the brakes and tyres seem to last ages.

Meh. Blame it on a virus.

Go ahead and have a play. You might learn something and perhaps even more importantly you'll get to annoy folks by overriding their fluffy kittens screen savers and desktop backgrounds containing their children. What really pisses them off is when you enforce the standard mouse pointer so their...

172 all day. As Daniel said it'll depreciate a bit less, plus you're more likely to get a good one for your budget. Better than buying a less good 182 just because you want twin tailpipes, and they are basically the same car at the end of the day. Also, as above, there are more suspension...

You need to disable changing the proxy settings then. User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Disable Changing Proxy Settings (as below). Yo' daddy - I am he.

@ MJ: The idea of Group Policy is that you can enforce settings on your computers / users. This means that most settings configured through Group Policy cannot be changed by the end user unless they're a local admin on the machine, a domain admin, or they've been delegated permissions to do...

Set the proxy settings via Group Policy. The user won't be able to change them then. EDIT: That basically does what MJ says above - the ProxyOverride key should prevent the user from being able to change the settings. That is what Group Policy does after all - it just changes registry settings.

Or uninstall it via Add/Remove Windows Components. Other options include putting those computers into their own OU and applying a software restriction policy preventing iexplore.exe from running, block ports 80 and 443 somehow (firewall, packet filter on the client machine etc), pointing to a...

Apple's official Boot Camp documentation does instruct you to hold the Alt key to get the boot selection screen so I assume that's correct. Otherwise it'll just boot into the last OS you used automatically. Useful if you hardly ever use one OS or the other.

Boot Camp can be found under Applications > Utilities > Boot Camp Assistant. It doesn't actually ask you which OS you want to boot into. You have to hold the Alt key down for it to ask (or am I doing something wrong?!)

I've never used Virtualbox myself. Any good? I'm just running a dodgy copy of VMWare Fusion at the moment. Seems to work just fine.

Use Boot Camp to install Windows on a separate partition on on the Mac. You'll then have 3 options: - Boot natively into Windows - Use VMWare Fusion to run Windows as a virtual machine from within Mac OS - Use Parallels Desktop to run Windows as a virtual machine from within Mac OS The above...

Obviously the i7's are the quickest, but they're not HUGELY quicker than the i5's. The main benefit is that they i7's are quad core rather than dual core, which means applications that are coded to use multiple cores (3DS Max, Photoshop etc) will perform a bit better. Depending on how much you...

I have the 15" i7 with 8GB RAM, nVidia 330M graphics and 128GB solid state HDD, plus the high res glossy screen. The anti glare option is kinda pants and makes the screen look rubbish, plus the only time it'll actually matter is if you're outside on a sunny day. I would have bought the 17"...

Bonnet bra's suck arse. Get rid. Other than that it looks great (apart from the wing obviously)

Looks great as it is. If that were mine, the only thing I'd do would be to get the wheels coloured in anthracite.

Was worth a try :(
