I had a m8 who was taking the piss out of me for spending 11k on a Clio. "You spent how much? It's a Clio!". So I went to his house after picking it up and we went for a drive along the boulevard. The blip at 5200 had him gripping the sides of the seat in fear. I think he was screaming when I...
Yesterday a guy in 2.2 Astra SRi had a go, could have stopped for a cup of tea and a sandwich and still been ahead ;) However I wouldn't expect to outrun an astra turbo after seeing it on top gear, they are quick! 220/240 bhp aren't they? Though with all that power over the front wheels they...
Any recommendations for mats? I bought a set of generic cannon mats in halfords.....good mats but didn't fit. Swapped them for a set of cannons that specifically stated they fitted Clios.....still didn't fit. I've just tried to fit a custom set from carmats4u, still don't fit!! ARRRGGG :mad:
Sometimes you get a device that just doesn't work with your USB controller and can cause all sorts of wierd stuff. What kind of motherboard do you have? Are you able to try an add in USB card?
I get them from usenet. There's a group for HD material, alt.binaries.hdtv. If you're not familiar with usenet, there's a sticky explaining it. This is also an excellent forum http://www.abhdtv.com/, lots of dicussion on HTPC as well. I'm an HD addict, according to my giganews transfer stats...
I have....
Sanyo Z3 1280x720 projector
77" 16:9 screen
Yamaha 630SE Amp
Mission 771e fronts
Mission M7C2 centre
Mission 700 rear
Paradigm PS-1000 subwoofer (this is a bad boy ;) )
All connected to my home theatre/gamming PC via HDMI which stores approx 800Gb of high def movies :D, increasing...
I'm still not convinced of the economics of the X2 for general purpose and gaming use. You have to look at what applications you use and decide if it's realistically worth the heafty premium. The processor you mention is around £350. I suspect the average Joe will have the second core doing...
IMO the X2 is suited if you have a specific need for dual processors, but otherwise you would be better spending the difference on more memory or better graphics card. Also 939 is dead, you probably don't want to spend lots of money on a platform that you can't upgrade in a year.
You could...
I have an HD projector (Sanyo Z3) with a my PS2/PC hooked up. I only have GT4 for the PS2, but it does indeed look a bit blurry. I have the UK version which they removed the HDTV support from, didn't find that out until I'd bought it :mad:
The Xbox can do realtime dolby digital surround...
As I recall there is a reasonable difference between the 2. The P4 architecture is very dependant on FSB speed and cache memory size (much more so than the athlon).
I did 1.2 -> 182 cup at the end of last year. I had to take it home via the bypass, I was in total disbelief. Now I'm kind of used to it....almost wish it was faster lol.
Alright m8,
I recently went from a 1.2 16v to a 182 Cup....no regrets. Despite the high costs I don't think there's any way I would consider going back to a "normal" car :cool: I was in a similar position as I bought mine right before I turned 25. As it turned out being 24 didn't make any...
What are you going to be using it for m8? Generally, I recommend that you build it yourself if you are able. The Opteron 939 processors are offering some good performance for the money right now.
Oh....and avoid at all costs overclockers. Go with a company who have customer service such as...
I call mine the "the orange missile" :evil: Haven't seen another one like it since I bought it in october.
And I have to admit, I didn't buy a cup because it's supposidly faster, I bought it cause it's cheaper!
When I had my 1.2 in for some work a few months ago, the mechanic said that the sunroof on Clios did often rattle (he drove a V6 at that time). Apparently rubbing a little silicone round the seal will stop it. I never got round to trying this though. Mine seemed a lot worse in cold weather?
On my way home today and I saw you at the barlone roundabout. You nicked in front of me (inferno cup). I notice you have a cliosport.net sticker on the back window! Last 3 digits RYN.
Incidentally, I was on my way to halfords and there were a bunch of westcruise plonkers there. There was a 1.2...
