    New Pics and a confession...

    I think I mighta made it rain today as well... But here's some pics of my car as it stood yesterday! Loving it still, best decision I've made so far (other than the missus! In case she's reading!) Next few weeks will see the rest of the Yozzasport exhaust to go with the...

    All that processing and speed... and you've got a Spinpoint in there. :(

    PC Upgrade Recommendations (£1000 budget)

    Placebo. If you want any evidence, my Raptor scores higher than my 7200rpm SATA2 disk in all disk benchmarks.

    cusco kids teflon wax

    I don't use silicon-based products on my car, and I don't use silicon-replacement products on my car either. Sorry, but it's a bigger no now I know what it is. I use P21S at the moment and on Rich's recommendation I will be using Swissvax Onyx next time I buy as they're designed to be used on...

    Wasn't there some sad European dude that got just over 5gig stable using phase cooling on an 805?

    If you can keep a D cool then the 805 is the one to go for - get a decent liquid cooling solution on it and you can push past 4ghz.

    They're more power hungry, hotter running, not particularly cheap and I still don't like them from the days of THG pulling the heatsink off and watching them burn themselves to a crisp.

    You won't notice the blindest bit of difference until flash-backed drives hit the market. Hard disks still can't really push past ATA133 transfer speeds, and the fastest consumer disk is still the WD Raptor, 10kRPM and SATA 150 interface.

    FAO all youi Disc Jockeys

    I like my 1000s, and from messing with my mate's set of 800s I can say if you learnt on 800s it's the same as going from your 1.2 Clio you learnt in to the RS you bought a few years later - you just get more toys. If you learnt on the 1000s though and can use all of the features on there you...

    Hahahahahaha! Mine sounds nice on the standard exhaust with a de-cat and with an ITG Maxogen...

    Engine bay completed

    Make one! Measure up the top of the battery, cut a sheet of MDF and a slightly larger sheet of aluminium to use as the actual cover, then bend the edges over and stick a nice rubber strip around the inside so it doesn't short.

    What would you do???

    Has he got a girlfriend? I've got a balaclava, I'll break her and you can put her back.

    Too all 172/182 guys in the know.

    Could he not sell the 172, buy an early Ph2 v6, insure it AND have most towards a set of TBs from Yozzasport? And then you've got a good looking car AND rediculous power.

    9 hours and its finally finished look at those curves!

    I have to say as nice as it looks I'd want it better than that because I'm a perfectionist - there's still the dimples between the letters etc and that's what puts me off doing it. Bloody shiny though, can tell you haven't got a Mrs with polishing action like that!

    Last minute ebay bidder

    But... This sniper stuff IS b****cks. At the end of the day if someone's set a higher bid then no matter how late you snipe the auction it's still going to go to them.

    Is Sky One About To Go Off ?

    I'd say it's Virgin Media that are losing here, not Sky. How much does your current cable package cost you? I know I pay just shy of a tenner for my Sky if I like and I get all the channels I want to watch (I go to the pub to watch football, and cinema to watch films) and I get it somewhere...

    Nope, not me. I got the styling but not suspension.

    Does this AGP card look ok?

    High end nVidia are, yes, because ATI haven't caught up with the 8800 Series as yet. I've always used ATI though as the AIW series is one of a kind. nVidia do good business graphics, have Quadro in one of the machines at work.

    Windows Mobile PDA.

    You'll never fill 1.5Gb with programs for PDAs. They'd fall over bigtime. Just download lots of filth and you're away!

    £1000. What do I spend it on?

    It's a tad expensive, and for the money the fit is shocking (I've had to take my carpet lining out from the bonnet, which isn't really a bad thing but still!) but it's definately quicker and the sound is absolutely pant-wetting. I've got a video of a thrash (on private land, occifer) on my...

    Megs Super Degreaser here, followed by APC to shift any dirt as the SD will only shift the greasy s**t properly.

    running 172 on higher RON fuel?

    Ok, I stand corrected! Never read the paperwork, just without going darn sarf to Tesco the only 98RON fuel was the Shell (now evidently 99) so that's what both my cars ran on. As for additives, mixed up 102RON for my Smart and it didn't make a lot of difference other than making the turbo glow...

    anyone got call of duty 3 for the 360?

    Yes, and apparently there's better - however I think that any improvement in graphics may be at the cost of gameplay because I think COD3 is the only game I didn't stop playing until I completed it.

    running 172 on higher RON fuel?

    Isn't V-Power 98RON still, like the outgoing Optislurp?
