Zotero! Referencing and bookmarking tool. Lord only know how much time it saves me doing reports!

Oh and almost forgot.... Do not skimp on the cost of the PSU whatever you do. Classic mistake for people doing first builds is to buy a cheap power supply to save money and when they slap in a new more power hungry GPU there isn't enough Juice or even worse the PC goes pop! Corsair or Hiper M...

Water cooling and after market air coolers are way OTT if he is on a budget and not looking to overclock!!

Yeh extremely easy to actually build. Only thing I would say be careful of when choosing parts is RAM types and speeds. Just make sure the motherboard is capable of running those timings. Good two shops online are: http://www.novatech.co.uk/ http://www.scan.co.uk/ Love scan, normally very...

Yeh claying is a piece of cake so long as you use lube...although some clays you can just use water. Is a bit of effort but well worth it imo and your car looks/feels better once you reseal it. If a monkey like me can use clay sure you mate!

Maybe the most sensible thing I have ever seen posted on this site!! Haha in all seriousness though I think they should do a better job of teaching people how dangerous a tonne of metal flying about at speed is when people sit their test. Think everyone gets a wakeup call when they have their...

Wouldn't touch that car.... But the buyers market for a 1*2 just now is a dream! Plenty of very clean well kept examples for less than £3k around which is riduculous. Actually depressing how little my car is worth now! Oh and buy a phase 1 172, they look the dogs and with 15" wheels the turn...

With regards to the clicking round corners I had the same problem. Everytime I went round a left-hand corner it was particularly prominent so I checked the off-side and right enough the drive shaft gaitor was leaking oil. Anyway replaced whole unit and problem fixed. Cost about £200 for my...

Think £18 would be without VAT. Juust changed rear discs and bearings at the same time. Ordered bearings off GSF, think about £25 each and got garage to press them for £10 each disc. £60 is pretty decent, just depends if you can be bothered doing all the work and waiting a few days for...

Yeh he's right, assuming uniform acceleration your car goes 88m whereas other car goes 72.6m (rounding answers) In real life of course acceleration is never uniform so to get realistic answer you have to use calculus. As people said the real answer depends on a huge amount of variables. Power...

Is that the k-tec 182 style system you've got? I quite fancy one, is it any good? Here is a pic of ph2 lights on my clio.

I bought mine in 02 and it was then for me. Insurance is a bit steep as older cars generally are higher groups. Think 1.4rt is 5 or 6? But its not too bad as cars aren't worth that much anymore. I loved mine. Gutsy little motor, decent handling and a huge boot for a small car. However it is a...

I just bought a 172 but still have my mk1 1.4RT. When I bought it almost 4 years ago I'm sure parkers said it had 80bhp? Anyway I've had it reading 115 on the speedo on a few occasions but that's its limit. Good wee car hardly cost me anything to run apart from insurance :)

Isohunt is the best one IMO mate. TV torrents is good but it has a credit type system where you need to upload to download. It's good for finding schedules etc though. Pirate bay is good as is mininova.

If you haven't modded your motor try directline. They quoted me £560 fully comp with legal protection £540 without. That was with 10% discount online thought for having someone else on a directline policy. I'm only 21 but have 3 years no claims. Good luck anyway mate and I'd try using...
