    Original Firefox screen/font settings?

    Uninstall daughter ? :rasp: Nothing else gone tits up ? If it's just FFox, try View > Increase font or something like that ?

    New laptop. No idea where to start.

    You're a happy chappy today. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/236680 Whatever you get, make sure it's at least dual-core... That one's well under budget !

    Anyone in the South East area fancy meeting up for some pictures?

    Thurrock would be good for me. For photographic noobs .. you need a camera and some imagination .. recommended would be a wide angle lens, a polariser, maybe a tripod, and some casual know how. Test cats not applicable due to volume of traffic (hi SkurySkwrl !)

    Tunnel Shot.

    More effect of what though ? If you want a dark effect, leave the lens cap on :rasp:

    Check before you buy modifications.....................oh wait, too late.

    I.R. Detailer

    Absolutley right .. sometimes I'm sure they are required, but my <£3k Clio is never going to be subjected to the luxury of a £000's detailing pampering ;) If it was my Zonda however, I'd want it washed with unicorn tears and clay made from unobtainium :o

    Tunnel Shot.

    Why would you want to take a photo of a dark place when it's at it darkest !? :rasp: I'd suggest dusk, lights of the car on, prime lens looking diagonally at the car's corner so the lights don't glare too much ... tripod + remote and see what happens. Failing that, give up and find somewhere...

    Question about ride height

    Do some homework :rasp: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_dynamics Having the rake set up so the back is higher than the front, will help turn in and be positive for weight transfer when braking, but if it's too much, the back end will end up skittish or worst case, becoming the front...

    I.R. Detailer

    ^ Sooper dooper brake pads ? I FLOL'd a lot when I saw detailing swabs for the first time. And again on DW when people take pictures of themselves using them... They're about 75p for 200 in Asda or £5 for 10 on detailing websites (yes yes, I know they're not exactly the same thing...)

    GOT ONE YES PH1 ICEBURG SILVER 172

    One's blue .. one's silver.

    "/ carbs "/

    What would the point be precisely ?! What new car are you getting ? Why would you want to track a 1.2 if you're getting something else ?! You can't just whack it on carbs and drive away. It will need ECU removing, parts machined as there's no such thing available 'off the shelf', carbs...

    *** Essex Charity Rolling Road Day***

    No because it's uninsured and will be SORN'd on Monday night when the OH finds out it's going to be more than her yearly income to insure it.

    speaker advice :)

    The whole point of the sub is to do the bass ! The other speakers shouldn't be doing any low end work. Change your head unit ;) Standard ones are all crap.

    Cambridge meet

    I'm only 45 mins from Cambs .. but this Sunday is no good for me. Next time :cool:
  21. TheEvilGiraffe

    speaker advice :)

    Change the head unit .. cut the low frequencies and let the sub crack on with that freeing up the speakers in the front to do the mid and high stuff. Make sure the sub is running off a pre-out PROPERLY !! I take it you've done it the pikey way and running the sub off the rear speakers ...

    GiraffeSport 172 Monaco

    Yeah I'm not amazed by the way it sits, but needs must and all that. Old (factory original!) one was rusty and blowing... hence I want a yozza stealth end. Failing that I may flog it and get H&S down the road to make me what I want :approve: Didn't spot a ph1 but thanks all the same haha ! :o

    GiraffeSport 172 Monaco

    Yozza fitted yesterday (thanks Ben!). Sounds great but gets noisy after a few mins when it warms up ! Not sure how long it'll stay TBH. If anyone has a mint stealth Yoz back box and wants to swap, let me know. Also snowed/cleaned/clayed/cleaned/PB's Nattys Paste Wax Blue'd the beast today...

    My First Clio! Campus Sport 1.2L 16V

    FLOL ! Why would coilies affect your MPG !? Looks tidy. How did the ICE install go or is that still on the cards ?

    Spinning Iceberg 172!

    Ha.. girlz. Ditchfinders and no knowledge of weight transfer when off the gas round a roundabout = fail. At least it wasn't on its roof !
