  1. Does anyone have a picture of the complete set of tools in the boot? I've got most of it (I think) but definitely missing a couple of items.
  2. OMG! I tried my postcode and "porn" too..... .....and it listed where i work!!!!
  3. nah, that's beep...beep...beep...beep... important difference
  4. Does anyone know any insurance companies that will insure a car with a rollcage? I've phoned a few places so far (including Sky Insurance) but not managed to get a quote yet. Might have to stay with Adrian Flux if I can't find anywhere Cheers
  5. ECUs, especially ones for motorsport use, can be built incredibly strong. Having said that I've seen a few dead ones, including one with a hole blown straight through the CPU, and one the other day that had sustained a large impact - the acceleration had slid one of the chips across the board!
  6. If Dude is here, was just wondering if his car meets these criteria? http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?p=1&f=23&t=170803&h=0 A guy from Fifth Gear has posted on Pistonheads asking for information about any car that has topped 200mph and cost less than 50 grand.
  7. for the last week played Foxy Brown - Broken Silence. best album i've bought for ages http://home.swipnet.se/~w-26153/music/best2001/foxy_brown_big.jpg
  8. Wow! I thought I'd spent a lot of mine but it's nothing in comparison to some of you guys! I've spent around £7000 over three years on servicing and mods. Hardly anything has gone wrong with it either, so I've been pleased with it Dodge Viper GTS will have to wait a bit longer...
  9. Yeah, it's Breathing by Rank 1. I'm uploading it for you now (yay, 1000th post!) edited to say: link here right click...save as Rank 1 - Breathing (Full Vocal Mix)
  10. No probs. Damn! it wasn't my 1000th post!
  11. soz, should have made it an mpeg. Can't be arsed re-encoding it. Codec here: http://www.divx.com/divx/download/index.php
  12. Did anyone see fifth gear tonight? It had tiff driving the castrol tom coloured supra to the gran turismo 4 launch party. Have uploaded a short clip here: right click...save as. http://www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~jamesg/misc/fifthgearsupra.avi
  13. You could have your car chromed but get it really dirty for the MOT
  14. aagghhhh. possessed robot dogs!!!!!!!
  15. You can use this site to generate random numbers: http://www.random.org/nform.html
  16. Mine does a similar thing. I don't know if it's a fault with my car or if all (auto pre-facelift) supras are poor at adjusting the idle speed as the engine warms. When the car has warmed up, it doesn't always drop the idle speed. I can always get it to drop by putting it in neutral when the car is stationary - then after a few seconds it drops to 650rpm.
  17. Well obviously no-one's advocating hammering it before the engine's warmed up My owners manual says that in non-winter conditions, the car is ready to drive after 10 seconds.
  18. http://www.automotivehelper.com/topic1446.htm
  19. From what I can gather, there's not much point leaving modern engines to warm up (for more than a few seconds anyway). It will warm up faster if you drive it. Anyone disagree?
  20. Every single fibre of my being says noooooooooooooooooooooo....... But i like them. I feel so dirty.
  21. If you're with Orange.... http://shop.orange.co.uk/shop/upgrade/backup costs 3 quid. Dunno if they actually check if you are an orange customer
  22. Use the link in my first post at the top!!! Think the upgrades are like this: 300Kbps -> 1Mbps 750Kbps -> 2Mbps 1.5Mbps -> 3Mbps All have monthly usage limits but I've not heard of them being enforced yet. The new 1Mbit is severely cutdown to 3Gb per month so not sure it counts as an "upgrade".
  23. competition. i believe BT are doing something similar in response.
  24. I've just upgraded my NTL broadband from 750Kbits to 2Mbits Read the T&C if you're on 300Kbps though, as the monthly limit is lower. From another forum: Anyone with a settop box phone 0800 052 2000 speak to CS and they'll upgrade your line speed free of charge If you have a cable modem, clicky here: http://www.ntlworld.com/data-feeds/editorial/microsites/tierMigration/cablemodem.php
  25. Matt fitted me one of these over a year ago and it's been perfect. Haven't even had a single false alarm!
