    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Windows 7 Home Edition for me. Reformatted to Windows 8 and couldn't get on with it. Went back to 7. Windows 8.1 came out, reformatted to that. Still couldn't get on with it (though admittedly it was a better). Went back to 7. I need to reformat again in the near future and will certainly be...

    Alien Green 200 Interior Lights

    Different! Actually, they should be good for looking for things at night - not as good as red, mind. Easier for your eyes to adjust to that colour than standard, stark light in a darkened area. D.

    Poor fuel consumption

    There's a lot of speculation and plain guesswork in this - and as such, it's difficult to give accurate advice. First off however - get it serviced!!! I know it's probably money you would rather spend elsewhere - but putting aside a wedge to get my car serviced would be a much higher priority...

    Frayz's 550bhp+ Prodrive edition Impreza build...

    LOVE the wheels. Dare I ask roughly what they cost you? Or is that wince-inducing to bring that price back up?! How do you rate the F1's? They were a great tyre on the Evo for me, but even with just daily driving, I was surprised at how quickly they wore down. D.

    Mk2 side-strip removal - the things just won't budge!

    Cheers guys. Just so I know I'm doing things right, do I NOT take off the side-strips in order to make access to the bullets easier then? It is the bullets alone that I want to exchange. Ideally, I wanted to remove both the strips and the bullets and wipe the crap from behind while I was...

    197 sold - 328i sport bought!

    Definitely keep the spoiler - it's hardly WRC spec, is it? And while you've got the dangerous thoughts of removing bits - DO NOT remove the mudflaps. They are there for a reason! :cool: D.

    Mk2 side-strip removal - the things just won't budge!

    Potentially, could this be down to nearly 10 years worth of build-up from road crap, rain and muck that has ran over the strips themselves? The threads I've read on here simply state a slide-back motion is required - yet I can't get them to move. Well, the passenger side anyway, as that's the...

    Best place to buy pads that will deliver

    George (aka G 172) is definitely the man to contact. Really helpful with queries and pricing. The best bet is to let him know what you want from your brakes (like track work, daily driving, etc) and some idea of budget. Definitely one of this forums' most dependable traders! D.

    seagate sshd - crap speed?

    Just as a quick guess - has your BIOS defaulted back to IDE/legacy mode for the SATA emulation? Make sure its on AHCI. D.

    iPhone 6 thread.

    I don't upgrade my phones quickly at all. I had my 3GS for over four years before switching to the 5 that I have now. At the earliest, I reckon I'd be looking towards the 7. Skip a generation - the technical improvements over the previous one aren't always 'that'. As a device, the size, shape...

    Whats a ps3 worth....

    When you say no HDMI - do you mean without the cable, or does it actually not come with HDMI output? D.

    Think he might have been following me in this morning....? Stalker..... :P D.

    911 turbo

    I have a mega soft-spot for Porkers in general. I dread to think how much those carbon bits were! :) D.

    Fiesta ST Turbo, 250bhp. £5500

    Looks neatly done. Like the gauge in the driver's side central vent. :) D.

    Thank you, but no thank you!

    Christopher would no doubt give you some good pointers. And he's in spitting distance from me..... D.

    Alternator problems

    Yep - that adds more complication to an already difficult-to-source-correctly part. Even the Renault dealership that I got truly humped off in terms of getting a new one for mine, took days to get the right make/model for my 182. They even ordered the incorrect one initially. D.

    A month in the life...

    That 917 is simply gorgeous..... D.

    Cheating - and making games better?

    I know what you're saying there. Currently in XCOM I'm on -$188 per month - and that's purely from the upkeep of the facilities I have. No way could I generate enough money playing the game 'properly' to be able to afford that. Like I insinuated in my OP, the world is being attacked en masse by...

    Cheating - and making games better?

    Now normally, I despise cheating in games. They quickly nullify any sense of achievement or progression through a game and ultimately make it quite boring. Perhaps the last time I was involved in any form of active 'cheat' in a game (prior to the one I'll mention below) was with online...

    1992 Mazda RX7 FD3S Type R

    Awesome Liam! That vid 4 in particular - sounds so mechanical and 'brutal' being driven around. Watching vids like this makes me love the the 'ol rotaries even more! :cool: Out of interest, I take it that warning alarm is a rev-limiter? Any idea what its currently set at? D.

    1992 Mazda RX7 FD3S Type R

    LOVE the RX7s! The one I have on GT6 is still my favourite car. :o I cannot believe that lines of that car are approaching quarter-of-a-century in age. Jap cars have often been called boring and hideous (sometimes, quite rightly so!) - but with cars like this, the last Supra and the NSX - they...

    A little AD Powershell help, please?

    A little AD Powershell help, please?

    Chaps, Just wondered if anyone could help me with a simple Powershell query out of AD? I've had a look online, but appear to be getting slightly contradictory feedback. Essentially, I just want an export (csv would be great, though I'm happy enough with txt) of all usernames within the domain...

    '04 silver 182 (FDX) - near Blackpool Airport

    Sorry m8 - we went past you in traffic at the time, but was in the Berlingo. No doubt you would have been totally confused if I'd tried to let on - lol! No idea it was turbo'd :) D.

    GTR Modding time

    Anyways...... I for one, are looking forward to reading Jason next vehicle piloting reports! I wouldn't be surprised if he makes a return visit to the three-red diamond brigade.... ;) D.

    Does this look tacky

    Because huge bodykits, unusual wheels, lairy decals would stand out a mile and could be discussed as tacky or not. If my life depended on it - I couldn't tell you what would have changed on the car the OP mentioned - the change was that small. That's what I was getting at. D.

    Tips to remove wiper arms?

    It's an utter b**ch. The middle two were easy enough with a wiper arm removal tool (as others mentioned here) - but the passenger side took some effort. So much so that at one point, the removal tool was bending before it gave way. With the bonnet up and the tool in place, sometimes lowering...

    Does this look tacky

    Seriously? I had to re-read the OP text twice to realise what you were on about. Stood 10ft from the car and gun to my head, I'm pretty sure I would have NEVER seen that after 30+ attempts! For the record, it look ok - but the standard one is better. D.

    '04 silver 182 (FDX) - near Blackpool Airport

    Drove past it in the VengaBus yesterday afternoon. Can't recall what time it was exactly? D.
