Brakes + Ph1 Fuel Setup + Rear Axle Painting
In my last update I harped on about how my brakes felt a bit wooden on the track day at Bedford so this week, with a bit of holiday to use up, took the Monday-Wednesday off to sort the cup. The idea of sorting out the rear brakes had been swimming...
No worries at all Dave, hopefully I didn't scare him. I've got the go pro film of the session if you want me to send it over, would be no bother.
It was a very good day, just had a few dangerous overtakes done on corners and some people not yielding on the straights.
I'm going to try and get a...
Certainly not you Jason! I only saw your car out on track one or twice but it was blooming quick that's for sure. Probably wasn't me understeering mega though, I was pretty careful all day as I didn't feel 100% confident with the brakes.
You too matey, hopefully you can see your car in the...
Bedford SEN 25th Feb
Yesterday, me, @Martin., @masekwm, @Sir_Dave and @AlexW did the season opener at Bedford SEN with pit crew appearances from @Ant_Smiggy and @Jamie86. Prep for the day started last weekend but typically I couldn't really be bothered to get grimy so just gave the cup a...
Not many updates on the car over the Christmas period other than it's now back up and running. Unfortunately the alternator belt snapped on the BM on our way back from visiting family so we had a slightly unexpected second breakdown and recovery session to finish of 2016 with not a bang but the...
Cheers matey I'll be trying it out properly this weekend. I realise it won't be wizz bang and super quick at editing but it's a darn site quicker than my old laptop. Has some great extras with it too like the hard drive dock, screen, extra RAM etc.
That's a brilliant video! Would love to know...
I'm collecting the PC I linked to above tonight :smile: going to see how I get on with it and then might upgrade the graphics card if I need to. Hopefully I'll be able to cap the spend and not go crazy like I have with car parts! It should be good enough for my needs. Pretty much anything would...
Well I can probably push £300 a bit! Really looking for something good all round but want to be able to be able to edit some YouTube videos when I start to do it more seriously.
eBay seems to have quite a few good custom PCs cheaper than ebuyer!
My laptop has finally given up the ghost. Have been looking at getting a new PC from eBay.
Budget £300
Ideally want a 2tb hard drive.
8 cores or mega fast processor
Biggest amount of RAM possible
USB3
Built in wifi
Windows 7 professional
Needs to be able to do video editing
Thanks chaps :)
the car will function normally with the airbag ECU unplugged but you'll just have a light on the dash. The idea of programming is you still get the airbag lights come on when you turn the ignition on and they turn off once the system is checked so it's good for MOTs. I'll PM you later :)
Cheers Dan :) You can send it to me. I've got a remote set up external to the car so can program any custom airbag set up you want and make sure the light doesn't show up.
Bedford
Hmm, where to start, I jest, a little. I'd been watching the forecast all week and was prepared for a rather damp track day, blooming African weather fronts making it lash down. We stayed in Bedford on Friday night so were pretty refreshed for the day, got to the circuit at about...
Thanks for the advice chaps :) The PC was free so it's a shame but by no means am I gutted! Have no idea of the model number, I just copied the spec directly from the system info page. It's HP, that's all I know!
Think I might be best buying one of those pre-built things from ebay with a decent...
I mean if MC/brakes are standard. If the system is designed to not run one it's fine. Personally I'd like to keep everything close to using very OEM parts so if it busts it's a bargain replacement.
I'm deeply saddened you have all this space to do awesome projects and get to tinker in the week while I'm sat here in a chicken coop with no garage or my car. Wah.
Things are moving bloody fast and skill developing at an insane rate! Would love to start welding too. Try and get your hands on a...
Evening Guys,
I'm not really clued up on PC specs but I've been doing some video editing with Vegas 13 recently, it's really jumpy and can't even display a smooth low quality preview. The main video is generally OK although sometimes it's a bit laggy. This is causing a particular problem because...
