    The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy

    Is Windows 8 utter crap?

    It's not just aimed at mobile devices. But anyway, it is useless. Unless you want to physically sit there and adjust for absoloutely no reason what so ever. But that's your prerogative. If on a touch screen device then fair enough, the UI is a nice addition. They're slashing prices on it...

    Is Windows 8 utter crap?

    I'd imagine so. Unless a lot of titles are destined for Games For Windows Live. Which is an abomination

    The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy

    Andy I'm genuinely quite upset now. I bet you said just knick it off Mike's car he can fcking wait. Where are your morals? x :D Does it matter? Engines don't really like eating alu filings they tend to ruin them a little bit. Remember this filter is sourced from ITG or elsewhere, it doesn't...

    Is Windows 8 utter crap?

    I'm a gamer, and it's slower than windows 7 currently. Nor does it have any benefit over Windows 7. You've not actually given me any reason as to why it's an improvement for you personally either, only explained changes. In fact half of those are in W7 anyway. You're aware they're working on a...

    Bang on, and it's pretty obvious really - I don't see why these threads always turn into a boost vs itb debates as there's never a definitive answer. Other than pub talk

    Stone chips...body shop or mobile paint repair?

    I had a decent experience when I had my corrado rear bumper done. He ended up having to do it twice due to a chemical reaction. End result was fine. But then I've had another job done where it was very orange peelly and lots of overspray. I've also seen them paint over dirt which means it'll...

    Well this is it, but for me I've just always prefered the drive from throttle bodies over boost. Although this is on the basis of only driving 2 supercharged mk2s, not turbo. It's just personal preference for me. People on here tend to base their opinion on other peoples, or graphs and charts...

    Not sure why as I've never tried / seen it but for some reason I wouldn't expect a 225 N/A F4R to last anywhere near 100k anyway! lol

    Arguably you're still putting more fuel / air through the engine so there is an element of strain though, init... Albeit with throttle bodies is it really enough you'd notice any difference on wear over say a year than you would on the standard inlet?

    It barely made 190bhp when it was reading that particular AFR, with a few changes and at 13.* it made an apparent 7bhp (with low compression on one cylinder) But again this is a classic example of people being put off throttle bodies due to reliability. The only actual issue I could pin on the...

    Something like 13:8:1. Would have to look it up
  15. Silent_Scone

    Fao itb users

    Well initially that's where my AFR was far too lean (under load) where as others will tell you there is no power to be had from doing so anyway. It's just as easy to get away with not doing it properly it seems as it is to get right apparently!

    That pipercross one is still not great for flake but it's the only one I'd use! Instead of something made at half the production value for some tin pot company. Hang about, is that my filter? Cheek!! ;)

    To be fair he said at the time it would have no effect on power, the bore was pretty knackered. Tends to happen when you eat metal. Mapping is key yes especially with throttle bodies, so no harm just having it checked once in a while

    This is it exactly, they're pretty highly strung engines anyway, and with a set of bodies on you're going to be driving it with the intent of at least half the time revving the tits off it! Just like any engine they'll get tired, it's just easier for people to assume it's due to having some...

    Is Windows 8 utter crap?

    Unless you are running it on a touch screen device it's purpose is mute. It's that simple. It's practically unusable otherwise IMO

    ITBS need general maintenance with balancing and cleaning once every few months really depending how much it's used. Sharky had a run of bad luck but the engine in his trophy was rough to start with. Which was overlooked by there tuner. I just like going through engines. The lump that did a...

    Lots of things are pointless. Buying a Renault Sport in the first place is pointless arguably. I think most people have made up their mind before they've even started reading. Like if I told you that your car felt unresponsive and slow. Would you really care? Probably wouldn't lose any sleep...

    Hitman - Absolution

    Completed it. Overall enjoyed it though, some bugs here and there with the A.I. Just way too much focus on the story, and not enough decent contracts / targets. Contracts mode is not an acceptable replacement! Blood Money still trumps it.

    Round and round... and round. My 182 on 438s made such and such. I don't see the point. I think it's too expensive. I think this kits better. And the conclusion is, throttle bodies are awesome, cams and throttle bodies are even better. Cams on their own aren't all that. And last but...

    Stone chips...body shop or mobile paint repair?

    Smart repairs are Russian roulette at the best of times, especially Chips Away being a franchise, you have no idea what you're going to get. Painting outside in the elements is just bad all round. Avoid like wild fire.

    CLEAR THE SNOW OFF YOUR ROOF/BONNET PLEASE

    Saw this so many times this morning. Some stacked high enough to bury a walrus. People are so thick. Thick.

    Yeah it's a gems tailored for the Renault loom. People are funny about service lights. Only have to look at members on here. They're looking to mod their engine and the first thing they ask is "Do the lights stay on the dash?" What a great industry to work in.
