    Easy Web site creation?

    If you've got the server to run it on, install the free version of Microsoft SharePoint. Ready built website with all the functionality you'll ever need. MS SharePoint Designer (formerly known as FrongPage) is also free these days.

    Just fixed the second video.

    Decatted K-Tec Supersports without centre section *Video*

    QwgBdWyaanQ and u--vGNlOpdI and supCQvATtYw The sound isn't captured too well by the camera so you'll probably need to turn your volume up.

    There's a video of mine on here somewhere too. Epic noise-age :cool:

    Indeed. Although blaming others is often part of the fun :cool:

    A good Infrastructure Engineer can fix any non-hardware related problem remotely if the right setup is in place ;)

    Skegness Run 24th 25th April

    I'll only be going if the turnout's good. If there are only a few names down I won't bother.

    MOT DUE

    In a nutshell, no. Not unless you can find a friendly MOT tester. I'm facing the same job - MOT is due at the end of the month and I've got to get the cat put back on for the day first.

    Skegness Run 24th 25th April

    When me and John have been in the past, we normally take either: 1) A46 > A158 (goes straight past Lincoln) or 2) A52 from Nottingham all the way to Skegness (goes through Grantham which isn't far from Lincoln).

    oil just below minimum

    If it's only just below minimum, chances are it hasn't been like that for long. Either that or it wasn't correctly filled last time and your car doesn't use much oil. Top it up to full (it'll probably take about a litre to get close to the top of mark on the dipstick), then keep an eye on it...

    how to do a full oil change?

    I haven't got the fuel rail guard on!

    how to do a full oil change?

    Does anyone else find getting to the filter an absolute nightmare? I've got fat hands and can never get to it, so I usually end up taking the front bumper off to give me more room :o

    Low Compression Turbo Vs ITB'S

    Since October last year. It's covered just shy of 11,000 miles since without a hitch.

    Same here. After 5:30pm I've got 5 days off :cool:

    You're not working. You're on CS ;) I'm in Ilkeston too if you want to try my keys (I've got 2 for some reason).

    Low Compression Turbo Vs ITB'S

    Where does everyone get the impression that turbo's are problematic from? Is it because a few individuals have had issues in the past? If they're installed properly, run in properly, mapped properly and maintained properly they're fine. Same goes for any car. Mine's awesome fun to drive, doesn't...

    Low Compression Turbo Vs ITB'S

    Not really. Mine feels fine. Then again, I've only ever owned cheap, poorly built cars so I haven't got anything to compare it to.

    Low Compression Turbo Vs ITB'S

    Should easily get more than 30mpg. They don't use much more fuel when cruising IIRC, although someone who actually has ITB's might be able to give you a better answer.

    Low Compression Turbo Vs ITB'S

    ^ That's what makes it fun. But I do see your point.

    Low Compression Turbo Vs ITB'S

    IMO you should go for the ITB's on that kind of budget. You'll get very good gains all over the rev range. With the low pressure turbo, I can guarantee you'll get hooked on boost and end up wanting to spend even more getting a low comp, high boost, forged bottom end setup. More power, more...

    1.6 16v VTS MPG worse than a 2.0 16v 172?

    I remember the days when you could put a tenner's worth of fuel in the car and go pretty much anywhere in the country on it. Nowadays it barely gets me off my driveway :race:

    Will this fail MOT?

    Ditto. My glass is broken but the light still works fine. My MOT is at the end of next month, but really I should stop being a tight c**t and buy a new one.

    KTR Panel Filter

    It won't make the slightest bit of difference. I found it used a bit more fuel when the acoustic valve was removed as well though.

    A proper 0-60 (ITB content)

    I'll be doing this when I fit bucket seats and an aftermarket steering wheel. You can show me how it's done if you want. <3

    A proper 0-60 (ITB content)

    Basically, yes. Some issues you'd notice, others you wouldn't until it's too late. You have to be realistic about these things anyway. Why increase a car's performance if you can't afford to fix it when it goes wrong? That's the reason I don't own an M3 like I was going to originally - I could...

    1.6 16v VTS MPG worse than a 2.0 16v 172?

    Yep. Probably because they lack low down torque and don't make much power until after 4k rpm. Epic fun though. Much more enjoyable to drive quickly than a 1*2 IMO.

    A proper 0-60 (ITB content)

    Point being? It doesn't indicate a problem with the car, it's simply because I'm running an aftermarket ECU (Omex 600). I'll be getting rid of the lights soon enough (when I start the rest of the stripping and the dash comes out).

    All the cinemas round here are generally pretty good. I always pay for the premier seating so I get more leg room but other than that I can't fault them. The Odeon in Mansfield and all the cinemas in Nottingham are pretty faultless IMO. That said, the Scalar in Ilkeston is shocking. It's about...
