I've tried different cables and a different TV. There's a very long thread on xbox.com - but it seems that the warranty extension to 3 years ONLY applies if it fails with the red lights...not in my case where just the video card has failed. W****rs. So leaving it on is likely to give me...

Puff of tyre smoke FTW.

Ah, ok. I keyed my details in online and it said it ran out at the end of 2007, I assumed that was the 3 years. Can't remember when I got it. Not fixable then I guess.

Seen over on xbox.com that there's quite a few video card failures. Mine's out of its 3 year warranty as of end of 2007, and I finally get some time to properly start on GTA, fire it up and it gives plenty of sound, but no image...just lots of tiny little white dots. Anyone know if this is...

Nice, smooth.

If the music isn't to anyones taste, I've done an 'engine mix' here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnJu2gFmZkQ

Yep, in Ben_p's car.

Ooh...get it up - I want to see the mess. Lee, my shoulders are killing me.

Nice write up, I wish I could've got my clutch fixed that quick. Where to next?

Slightly damp, very old tyres and was, ahem, a little loose - so I get on my knees and thank the god of run-off. Pretty much everyone gets a look in on this one, quite happy with it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTpT8CVkjNA

Another convert. More and more people recently have realised just how good us paupers have had it for the last few years ;)

Ah, makes sense now, I wondered why you weren't getting away. I got some good video footage of your car in action Ben...my camera was facing rearwards on the second to last session.

Cor, quality, that strut brace is well seated.

Nice video Dave.

Yup. Your 'garage' were trying to fit them in the wrong place me thinks.

That's what I thought. Owned by a pikey FTL - never spending to get something done right. What else has been bodged?

Looks like a 318 that's trying too hard to be a M3 to me. Standard FTW. Bet it's drives nice though.

LOL, go for it, sounds a right bargain.

Didn't work though as I didn't make sure the car was still 100% level each time I weighed each corner like you'd get if you were using bespoke corner scales. Was worth a try though...killed a couple of hours LOL

Here's my attempt at weighing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OWuoGkrV5Y 652 kgs!!!

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread LOL at scared...mine makes me feel like that sometimes now, especially when you get a wheelspin/torque steer combination going on at 70mph +. Let's hope it stays dry for Bedford...I want a ride!!!

I've just avoided driving mine lately. This Friday at Bedford will be fun, I'll be taking a few towels LOL

He he. Yellow one has been ordered...gotta be at least 1kg in the headlining/visors.

:o Excellent though (£4 a pop no problem come MOT time)...will have one of these soon...can get the roof lining/sun-visors ripped out then as well. Will my car fail without sun-visors?

Yes, yes, yes, that's all very nice. Where do I get one and how much are they? Thank you please.

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread B*tch, I wish I could make things like you.

Where would I get one of these? Never thought about losing the sun-visors...and now my arse scrapes the floor, would be useful. Any suggestions on a garish colour or just sunset yellow to match my track wheels? Edit: they can pass the MOT can they?

It was stated a V would pull slowly away from a 172. It was also stated, and restated again ^^^ that one would fly away from a Honda S2000 - which we all know is at least on a par with a 1*2...isn't it? How is my drawing attention to that 'selected reading'?

Nail on head right there. It's a machine, not a wife/girlfriend with feelings...and ultimately it is designed to take a lot of abuse. I didn't tell my insurance company when mine was stolen...does that mean I'm still HPI clear then? Irelevant though really as I'm never selling it.

^^^ quote of the thread...right there. You missed this bit then? Carry on chaps...this is amusing.
