Totally normal. Mine's done it since day one - though it's much more noticeable if you have an after-market exhaust or backbox fitted. If it's significantly loud - or has a 'metallic' chirk/chink noise to the popping - it could be that the centre section clamp is failing and some exhaust gases...

You're right. On it's own - switching to a 965 would lead to little in the way of a performance hike. Compared like-for-like against the Haswell-E's (especially the 5960X - 8 core & 20MB cache! :tongueout:) - the 1st gen i7s are quite some distance behind. But chuck one of those 965's in with a...

Yes m8 - that would be the replacement for yours. Obviously that's just the CPU itself, you'll need a cooler to go on top - unless you have a decent cooler on the 930 already, that you could swap over to? I was going to confirm that your mobo could take one of the Extreme CPUs. But as the...

With the new rears that you'll be buying (and another shout here for @George@RTR_Parts on here) - make sure that the washer goes the correct way around. If not, your new rear discs will have bearing failure much, much quicker than normal. Been there - done that myself, on one side of the car...

If it's the same silver Ph.1 that I'm thinking of - it is el rapido! Supercharged, iirc.

No, I know that. Just that the 911 range has long been a favourite of mine. Then some designer decided to do what they did with the 996 lights and it was all a bit 'ewww' at the front end. What I'm saying is that the Porsche example was bad enough. But with the Aero? It has a front end that...

Got to admit - those three wheelers look a riot - proper fun. Not sure about those Aero ones above though. They just look like they they've head-butted a lamp-post and not even attempted a repair. I never liked the Porsche 996 tear-drop headlights - but these Morgans are a whole new level...

Of course you do - like the rest of us. On the Platform of Win...... ;)

It's certainly worth checking out some of the second-hand LGA1366 i7 CPUs out there. While going for some of the high end six-core versions would not only be overkill, but prices are still in dreamland - the slightly lesser ones (quad-core) are sensible money. That said, I did see a 980 on there...

Is that Dogmeat in the clip??!

Hah! Quality :)

It's not as good as CoH1 imo. Worth a bash though. Bit of a hardware bruiser with everything maxed out.

And the problem with that, is?

Hahahaha! Sorry - did I just read "£50k on an S3"??? Good god. I need to ditch my job and become an Audi salesman. Money must be growing on trees out there.... Almost, but not quite as funny as seeing a Tdi Eos outside the local VW garage for a few pence short of £30k. [emoji38]

Great effort! Definitely stands out. I prefer the front alloys compared to the rear ones. Could you wrap the rear cage in the same colour? I'd actually think about colour coding the side strips to black. It would work well as a 'dividing' line around the car - alongside that black bumper strip...

Hell, yehes! :) http://xcom.com/agegate/?path=http%3A%2F%2Fxcom.com%2F

I played SO much of FO3. But just couldn't get into NV for some reason. Hopefully this will be more of the former?

^^^ - totally agree Andy. Now if you can just use your leverage with the devs to get them to retain my Logitech G25 settings on the PC - instead of recalibrating them every time - it would be appreciated! :P That's a tiny niggle though. I had a GT3 race with my nephew at the weekend at Oulton...

Nice - but is it a replacement GT, m8? :tongueout:

That's part of my point. Hot hatches are one genre of cars that I think will never fail to impress. Unfortunately, the manufacturers are under a lot of pressure to deliver performance, economy and that over-burgeoning H&S stuff. Give it a few more years and new drivers will be horrified and in a...

And the rust levels on those cars over there will be..........? ;)

I thought it was worth posting. I know that there are a few JDM Heads (myself included) in here! :cool:

Would love to go to something like this. A proper rough 'n ready setup and I bet there are a few hidden gems amongst that lot... http://www.lancerregister.com/showthread.php?t=506573

Edited for accuracy. Besides the Scooby is a practical, 4WD rocket-ship that is good for a family. :tongueout: In all seriousness, have you actually been in the back of an A5? Unless your kids are super-small - forget it. I had more headroom in the back seat of a 911. Admittedly - that...

Your initial symptoms (apart from my brake pedal going to the floor) were identical to when a rear brake pipe went on mine. I take it you've still got full fluid levels? No little pools of fluid on the floor near one of the wheels?

Lol! Tbf - its 11 years old and a daily. If this happened at 11 months, I'd be a bit pissed. :)

I park in an underground spot where the auto lights kick in on arrival. On Friday night, I noticed it looked a bit dark from the drivers seat. I got out and saw that only the passenger side xenon headlight was on. I did the silly, obvious thing of tapping the headlight unit a bit, but the...

Absolutely no idea. I have a want list in my head, but that's restricted by money! Whatever I get - it HAS to be involving. I despise generic. Cars loaded with three pages of option lists, but have the feedback and involvement of a dishwasher. :unamused: I have to accept that my 'preferred'...

The 260X is a good shout by Addicted - certainly for the budget in mind. You might score lucky on the Bay and get a marginally quicker nVidia card. But the 260X is 'significantly' better than the GTS450 that you already have.

Definitely agree. Had the lower spec one (130bhp?) for a couple of months before my 182 arrived. Although underpowered, the cabin was a good place to be. The seating position made you feel like you were driving something a bit more special too. Good purchase! :up:
