LOL - well spotted! :)
Glad you like the R27, jocker. I really try to convince myself that I like the look of them, but I can't quite manage it. However, it's your car and you love it - that's the important bit!
Must admit, the decals look well against a black car. I wish Reno hadn't put 2005...
Great first car there, m8 - you shouldn't knock it! :)
As others - clear side indicators would be a prime target for some change - and the slight lowering in that Photoshop picture looks great.
You may/may not get bummed on the insurance with that though?

As Gee said above - if both were standard, I'd say the 182 would have the definite edge.
But then you're talking cheap turbo tuneage, reliable Jap mechanicals and a lighter car to begin with. If fettled, the Glanza would almost certainly kick the Clio's ass.

XP64.
Only causes a problem on the rare occasion you get lazy goddamn programmers (i.e. on Doom 3) who don't allow the Install Shield to recognise XP64.
Apart from that, it's the daddy. More server-based than PC and it runs 99% of the games I throw at it, fine.
I'll be joining the Vista...
I agree. I've got two 7900GTX cards myself, but unless you see a decent bargain coming up, there would be no point in going for one over an 8800 series card.
EDIT : Ah, yours is AGP. Forget the above then!

Aye - all the posts above about using minimal amounts are so true! It's a right bar-steward to get off if you cake the car in it - not to mention the fact that you're just wasting most of it....
D.
Spot on. My point exactly.
To me, it's just a ball-ache, crap that ideally I could do without. But regular Joe Public would have to leave all that useless junk on there.

Just prepping a few laptops for work now. Why on earth do manufacturers preload so much crap on their laptops/PCs?
First to go - Norton, without a shadow of a doubt. Then the five ISP setups, care programs, registration documentation, security turd and other 110% useless bits of crap. These...
Aye - looks a tad similar that case! ;)
The worst bit about it is that fan at the base of the chassis - totally stupid location in terms of getting leads around it. I've ditched it this time and placed it behind the orange Akasa fan near my gfx cards. Twin-fan-tunnel-POWER..... lol!
Which...
Here's a few of mine since I last added a couple of bits to it....
Asus M2N32-SLi Deluxe on v1001 (Beta) BIOS
AMD64 4800+ Dual Core (running at 2,640Mhz per core = +10% clock)
4GB (4x1GB) OCZ Spec-Ops PC6400 DDR2-800 - standard clock
2x Asus EN7900GTX Extreme in SLi Combo - standard clock...
Can someone lend me their 360 to try Forza 2 out? ;)
Sounds great from what I've heard. Are all the cars performance based or are their some sheds with like 32bhp in there too?
D.
I'll try and get some up some - lol!
It was funny yesterday. I got the Mac Pro sent up to the building where it's being located on a flat-bed trolley and then bobbed up there an hour or two later.
The three Mac-guys up there had it on a table, side cover off and deep in conversation. They...
Hat's off to Apple - they definitely know how to make a decent case! I'm hoping the guys will leave it alone for the time being until the other bits arrive.
There's the 4GB of memory, 2x 500GB drives and an ATi X1900XT on the way - the gfx card being the last to arrive towards the end of next...
Having a mooch last weekend at some PC titles and came across Shadowrun on the shelf. The tech specs said it needed Windows Vista and a dual-core CPU.
Is this the first, or have there been other games that have snubbed XP before it?
D.
Yep, driven by Ethel on her way to the library by the sounds of it.
A 197 on par with a 182? Maybe? Against a 172 Cup - no chance - let alone 'annihilating it'.
Some salesmen are right chimps....
D.
I never park up in Rammy, tbh, so I doubt it will be me! The closest I get to there is driving home, where sometimes I go down Walmersley Road.
I do see a heavily tinted black gold 182 near the M66 quite a bit though...

Cheers Carl - your's looked shiny - had it just had a clean???
To be honest, the I've found the ITG filter to make no obvious difference in terms of the way the car drives. It does however, have a nice intake 'whistle' noise when you're in the fun-zone beyond 5,000rpm.
Good thing about the...
