  1. I didn't always get the hazard triangle on mine when fuel cut kicked in.

     

    You said you tried moving Fuel-cut selector down to 1.. I think you should be lookng to move it the other way, but I really really can't remember now. It's all on the Thor site in the install guide.

  2. well, not enough anyway.

     

    Since swapping the RSR for a Greddy Power-Extreme-II, I can't get above 14psi.

    My car is a UK spec auto, with no cats, a 3" downpipe and a ball-and-spring type manual boost controller.

     

    I was easily hitting 18 and sometimes nearly 19psi with the RSR.

     

    I have adjusted the boost controller just now, and it's made no difference. All the way up to 140mph it won't go above 14psi.

     

    So, is this as much as my turbos can make of the exhaust energy at their disposal? i.e. is this not a wastegate issue, therefore boost controllers will be of no use?

     

    Is a less restrictive exhaust the only way for more power?

     

    Or is my boost controller hooked up wrong? There is still a little bit more to go on the screw-in of the boost controller, so I could try for more...

     

    I'd appreciate your thoughts guys :)

  3. Is it not easier to just create 0byte files to replace wgatray.exe, wgalogon.dll & spmsg.dll ?

     

    I think it would still overwrite them, regardless of any access permissions also set. It seems from what I can see that the winlogon/notify dll monitors and fires up wgatray.exe, but doesn't monitor it's own regsitry key. So if you are quick to delete wgatray.exe after terminating it, then everything looks good, and removing the winlogon\notify key prevents the dll from running on restart, by which time you are able to delete the dll.

     

    As a matter of course I have also been disabling the welcome screen on affected machines, but I doubt this would have any effect, so I'm hoping the script will suffice.

     

    I forgot to mention that the script also disables automatic updates for you. I should do this properly a-la group policy though so that it can't be re-enabled by user, but for now it simply sets the option for you.

  4. @echo off
    
    > %temp%.\wgakill.reg ECHO REGEDIT4
    
    >> %temp%.\wgakill.reg echo.
    
    >> %temp%.\wgakill.reg echo [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\WgaLogon]
    
    >> %temp%.\wgakill.reg echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update]
    
    >> %temp%.\wgakill.reg echo "AUOptions"=dword:00000001
    
    >> %temp%.\wgakill.reg echo "AUState"=dword:00000007
    
    cd %windir%\system32
    
    taskkill /t /f /im wgatray.exe
    
    del wga*
    
    regedit /s %temp%\wgakill.reg
    
    del %temp%\wgakill.reg
    
    > "%allusersprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\wgakill.cmd" echo del %windir%\system32\wga*
    
    >> "%allusersprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\wgakill.cmd" echo del "%allusersprofile%\Start menu\Programs\Startup\wgakill.cmd"
    
    
    
    

  5. I really wanna come, but I've just had someone come pick up a laptop, now I have to go to the courier in Trafford Park, then I have to build a shitty 'enthusiast' PC at someones house. :( Why can't I get my arse moving in the day.. could have had all this done.

     

    Anybody staying there late tonight? :)

  6. B11GYS, without wishing to appear rude, maybe it would help your argument if you didn't write like a chav.

     

    and if he didn't take commision on sales made through the link he provided.

     

    I call BS. Big BS on this one. Pure pre-meditated bullshit. 24% better mileage? Sure..

  7. I'm interested in the increased upstream bandwidth. Do they still have restrictions against running services on known ports such as 21, 25 and 80?

    I run an SMTP service for incoming mail, VPN and http on 80, but I'm currently with Demon ADSL. I'd need a static IP too.

  8. Hell yeah I'll be there. Was a really good turn out last month, would be good if you can make it - I wanna see those new wheels of yours. It's getting busier earlier now, I think we're aiming to get there about 6:30-6:45.

     

    I think I missed it last month. I'll try to get over there.

     

     

    Hopefully see you there. I can look after your phone if you want :D

     

    Mike

     

    LOL that's not a bad idea :D

  9. You're quite cute, can i keep you under my stairs!!!! ;) :D

     

    Sure :D

     

    Honestly, this girlfriend of mine does things that one would hardly even expect from their worst enemy.

     

    Schoolkids have commited suicide over less embarassing things.

  10. Mascrat this month Carl0s ?

    :hijack:

     

    Mike

     

    Well, I was wanting to go but.. been in hiding with some freakish acne outburst this weekend but I think it's finally going now after constant application some stuff the doc gave me.. so.. maybe, but.. dare I show my face now? :D

     

    I'd like to anyway mate. Are you heading up there?

  11. I have the 500. Benefits over the others is the ASN (assisted sat. navigation) which means accelerometers and gyroscopes to guestimate your movement when the signal goes (e.g. in tunnels). Also the processor is 400MHz in the 500 and 700, rather than 200MHz in those below. It of course has Bluetooth, which it can use as a mobile hands-free (lower models can't do this). The bluetooth with a 3G mobile (gprs would still work but slower) is great for traffic jam updates. SD-card slot makes upgrades / additions nice and easy. I wouldn't want a 700 because they use a hard disk instead of the SD card.

     

    I'm thinking of selling my 500 at some point so I can replace it with the new generation of wide-screen units.
