haha dont forget the tutu! A nice lace one, like mine..

It'll be a whole new eating dissorder, Nurse: Batman you must eat! Batman: I caaaaaant!!! more weight equals losses through Power to Weight ratios don't you seeeeeeeee!!!!!

You'll start watching what you eat now! Ooooh better not have that extra chip, it might weigh 0.01 gram. Good luck with it though, should be fun when you've finished.

Re: Feeb video editors, the CS montage Quite right too. I really wish I had the funds to do video but to do it properly you have to spend decent amounts money. Some of the effects on that Topgear vid have been added digitally, but alot of it is special camera lens filters, and wideangle...

Re: Feeb video editors, the CS montage Thanks al, that's what I mean, a nice bit of induction warble through my harman kardons instead of some razzle dazzle hip hop or dance rubbish. footage does not always need music, if you added music over this it would ruin it imo...

Re: Feeb video editors, the CS montage Music over the top of driving vid's is a bad idea imo, everyones tastes are different and 90% of the time it just makes me turn the volume off or scream at the screen. I'd rather hear the engine, road noise, stones flying around in the arches tbh anything...

You 'could' get one and do the work yourself for less if you are handy at making up manifolds and wiring up fuel managment, but tbh you are looking at at least £3k for a job like this http://galerie.tomson.com.pl/album10 or £6k going to k-tec...

I say fair play to the lad. There is nothing wrong with being into cars and spending time doing them up, he could be doing other less constructive things with his time and cash.

I spent about 4 months breaking cars and had to remove that horrible stuff from cars that had been sat for about 10 years, it's like compacted hair or something, the dust off it used to make me sneeze, I even found mice were nesting in it. My mate removed it off the underside bonnet of one of...

So you got a camaro in the end! the gen 1's are the nicest looking camaro's imo. Start a thread about that in General Automotive if you havent already, would be great to see some pictures!

Most bodyshops up and down the country use rotarys. Silverline do a good rotary with soft start for about £30 - 40. Makitas and Sealeys are expensive, but more of a solid trade tool. For home use one of those polishers you linked to or a silverline will be fine, just get a couple of practice...

I'm in two minds about the way I like dressed tyres to look. I have started to use turtlewax extreme nano-tech (bright green container) on my tyres. Apply with a 4" soft brush on well cleaned tyres, then buff off with a soft cloth. Surprising results for a turtlewax product, when allowed to...

did he start the lap realising he was desperate to go for a dump or something, still I guess that shows how forgiving the clio can be, even when it's driven by a nutcase.

Nasty, but to be honest you can post this warning to other drivers on every forum in the world but there will still be idiots who will read it, shrug their shoulders and go on doing it, unfortunatly it's the 'I'm alright Jack' attitude that some drivers have and it seems to be getting very...

Nice wheels, I say yay

I cant really answer your questions with any authority, you need to speak to an expert to make sure everything is 100%, demon tweeks have been pretty helpful in the past. You need to know the central bore of the wheels you have bought, if you are lucky they will slot straight on, if you are...

I have visions of gabrielknight being overtaken by his own wheels on the duel carriage way :S

Central bore is the center of the hub, the hole in the center of the alloy mounts up to this and 'slots' over it. This is what basicly takes the weight of the car on the wheel. The bolts are just there to hold the wheels on not take all the weight iirc. 60.1 is the bore diameter in mm. The...

Not 100% sure but I imagine the mounting area to the hub is thicker on alloys then it is on steel wheels, also sometimes alloy's bolt holes are tapered for the nuts collor and not flat so i would hazzard a guess that you would need longer bolts and possibly tapered ones too. If you aint sure...

Window regulators, RSi's have electric windows; any slowness, gritty sounds or whining could tell you they are on the way out (not cheap) Juddering brakes when slowing at low speed (when they shouldn't) is ABS activating, slightly alarming when it happens (not a big prob though and doesn't...

Simple physics, due to the wheels turning at different rates when cornering etc, the fact that the font wheel can turn and have a shorter rolling radius on full lock compaired to the rear combined with some occasional slip when driving fast means they will never line up, even after a short trip...

Look where the gear stick is, don't get carried away shifting into fourth, you'll castrate yourself! I've seen these things before but normally with no roof, how much drag is that going to create. I imagine it's quick, but it'd need to be so you can get away from any onlookers.... oh the shame!!!

I would have a 1.4 16v over my 1.6 16v just so I can save a bit on insurance and tax for a couple of years. I have driven a few of the 1.4 16v's since buying mine, I did notice that mine is definatly more powerfull (on hills / loaded with stuff etc) but I'd still say go for it. 1.4's are a...

Welcome. I like it! Not sure about the spoiler but everything else looks ok to me. You could do with some auto glym plastic and vinyl dressing on that side strip.

Well I mentioned 'and similar'. You can't have expected me to list all the companies that have made a PC. The mac is the industry standard design machine for a reason, I'm confused though are you trying to say that one day 99% of the industry 'just' decided to start using them for fun or to...

In some cases that is true, I have worked for a computer games dev company and I used PC's there (but my boss didn't even know what industry standard pantones or CMYK are) all the techs used Macs for the video editing and fmv. A web design company I worked for used PC's but that was design for...

Good question, I suppose one reason is because I've used computers for design for over 10 years, 5 of which commercially and found the mac to be better for me. Every design company worth their salt will have macs, and the industry is very mac friendly. In my experience, especially (but not...

^^? I'm just saying the PC doesn't interest me, it just so happens the mac works better for what I do (and looks good). I earn a living designing with my mac, I can assure you it is much better suited to the job than the previous PC's I've used. (and looks good)

Some of the comments on here sound like little school children arguing over whether bat man would beat superman in fight. The PC is a great, cheap all-rounder if you want to play games as well as do work it might be a better buy, however if it was my money, I'd spend it on a mac. I've used...

I like Novas too, I think they will eventually lose the stigma attached to them from the mid 90's and become classic little hatches, the shape has aged better than the corsa.
