Are you still here???

I think there is a setting on the dashboard to change the resolution if I remember right.

Yeah kinect is gimic stuff like an updated nintendo wi really with better games. The console itself should be fine the new black models have larger memory storage but you can get memory cards that slot in the front like the playstations had and have built in wi-fi over the ethernet cable that goes in the back,places like asda sell high def cables for about £8 which works fine over the stock adapter with the high def switch and as for the fan they are renowned as pants hence why you can buy an upgraded plug in one (obvious admittance by microsoft it is crap without recalling it) If due to space you cant plug into the hub with a eternet cable (gamestation do sell them with massive leads) laptops and desktop computers can be used as a wi-fi connection if having a long lead is not feasible.

Medal of honour is alright but only worth a tenner anyway plus it had lag issues in online multiplayer, Homefront is crap but online was meant to be ok ish but not really worth more than a fiver, Red dead is cheaper to buy online if you have the original copy over the seperate disc and half life I had never played but is meant to be good but again can be picked up cheap.

Gamestation would give him £20 cash for BF3 on it's own.

Sorry I never knew opie oils was a trader but was just using them as an example after a friend used them a while ago. £10 saved is £10 saved in my opinion so fair play on that as I am sure that went on petrol anyway. I personally am usually not too bad at finding bits myself plus a mate who is a mechanic is handy for cheap labour, tyres etc as he puts them through the garage and sells to me at the garage paid price not resale, it was more for others that just buy and pay the first price they see and don't think to shop around.

Yeah I see your point and like I said it probably was a dumb idea. Just surprising that some bits like spark plugs you can get for sod all at sparkplugs.co.uk O2 from rock auto £80 delivered for 2 and even things like K&N panel filter was £35quid from demon tweeks if you didnt want a stock replacement. Just thought there maybe more too it than I thought for oils etc that some people might not think off as a mate of mine used opieoils.co.uk and got AYC fluid and rear diff oil for£25 which he said was bloody cheap race spec oil 6litres was about £40 and is cheaper than most poeple who don't think to shop about and use halfrauds etc.

That's the thing as I have only had my car 10minutes I am not too sure what would be worth considering minus say the obvious and was hoping people far more superior could could help out and even give a possible idea of mileage of when you may want to consider new parts such as I think Nic said the O2 sensors would be a good idea to swap around the 50k mark which for an idiot like me is invaluable info along with the cleaning guide as well (although I prefer to just pay and get new) and it may stop some of the threads. Plus you may be abble to offload some of that snake oil you said you had kicking about.

Guessing this was a bad idea then.

It looks like it has his artistic touch to it still.

Maybe it is that guy carlmadboy I saw from another thread/youtube superstar........... If it is I cant believe he sold his white 600bhp NA with patio heater can....... I mean nos kit. Surprised he is not out "killing it" at halfords with the rest of his girls aloud fan club.

So many people have their own sources as they have been maintaining their cars for years and judging by their photos they know a thing or two about using quality parts but more where to find them would be even better and hopefully might cut down on the pointless threads. If there was a rough guide to show who sells what then maybe the odd review of what it is like and includes not just the traders but any website and what to buy from them would be a great help for newbies.

Apart from buying off of others on here has anyone thought to start a thread with shops/sites etc of where to buy good quality parts and a price list??? I noticed that the o2 sensors can be expensive to replace and then saw a thread that suggest rock auto parts which resulted in being able to get 2denso o2 sensors sent from USA for £80 shipping tax vat ect included. Just thought maybe the mods could open up a list that people could include where they get their parts from as everyone always hunts for price and a quality products but not everyone knows about them.

Well at least I know the volts are working but for some reason it shows I am running extremely lean????

There are people in France that leave their handbrakes off so people just push them out the way with their cars when they want to park. Like you guys I would rather park out the way of any living creature and walk further (even if the distance is larger than from when I left my house to destination!) So many idiots out their it makes me want to buy and old heap and go round doing the same to everyone as they seam eager to do..... Parking and getting out a car.. It's not rocket science.

I don't mind it too much as you don't see it all the time and in some respects it looks tidy just that an identical one is on the aftermarket steering wheel. For some reason the original cigarette lighter has been removed and a twin phone charger port put in with no lighter to fill the hole??? Better yet the fake dials of someone that was going to turbo the car and then never bothered.

I am just reading the pointless items for the mkiv thread which even though it is an old thread it is a good laugh for 3:30am...... Brake caliper covers lol.. saying that the person who owned the car before me has put little supra stickers on them after painting them red.

Because I saw that yellow supra earlier that looks a right state it encourages me to look at pointless things. Is the rocking horse crap as rare as petrol at a fair price???

I have some rocking horse sh*t kicking about if you want to exchange scott???

The best bit is how they advertise "IF YOU HAVE A TWIN EXHAUST YOU COULD FIT TWO OF THESE TO CREATE EVEN MORE SOUND!" I wonder how many I could fit round my 4" exhaust that is raspy anyway atm???

I feel like Steve Jobs announcing this new innovative bit of technology for everyone with an NA.... you may of seen it before..... If you haven't then ladies and gents I give you the future mod to go with your duck bov or better yet turbonator!!!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fake-Blow-Off-Valve-Turbo-Sound-Whistler-BOV-Exhaust-/150672701802?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2314caf96a#ht_500wt_835

Is this the result of a mental breakdown inside halfords while holding a credit card????

You should try and hide it and see if keron has a burnt out shell of the same car to replace it with.

Hire a manitou forklift for a few days and leave his car suspended in the air or just drop it from a great height. We put peoples cars on the lockup containers roofs when they parked like wan*ers on site which is amusing when they want them back.

Does an assassins bullet count as help???
