  1. Well Done Best book yourself a trackday in the summer and learn more about yourself and your bike, I highly recommend it, cos it was at a trackday where I learnt how to get my knee to the tarmac
  2. just remember, there is no such thing as "easy money", there is always something that needs putting in to get the most out of it. Honestly, I'm glad I got out of the office and into overalls for a living, no stress, decent pay and a certain degree of job security (unless this country stops importing goods). Been a docker for the last eight years come February and have enjoyed most of it Ricey, if you are gonna do something to boost earnings, at least try your hand at something you are fairly good at, so steer clear of DIY or mechanical stuff or share dealing and stuff that is mind boggling to you. You want to make money, not loose it. Another way perhaps is to re-evaluate your lifestyle, yes we all want shiny things, but if you can't justify a purchase, then just don't get it. Dunno if I am making sense at all, prolly cos I am at work and it's 3:23 in the AM, lol
  3. Check local caraudio shops or even Halfrauds and see if they have ex-display models. I got my Pioneer AVIC F900BT for £350 at Halfrauds, ex display but hardly a mark on it, RRP was £899. The ICT facsia is not the right one for a double DIN. You only need the frame for the double, the pocket and single din stuff will be surplus to requirement.
  4. love it when people look. One neighbour said "Nice, do mine when you're done" I said "Sure, £20 for a wash and wax..." "huh...?!?!?"
  5. Get a router with a reset or even better a power switch
  6. Peeps on here may be of help, very knowledgeable http://forum.watercoolinguk.co.uk/index.php My PC is also in there.... http://forum.watercoolinguk.co.uk/index ... entry47301
  7. They look quite sexual GLWTS man
  8. Pink Friday is also the name of Nicki Minaj's new album, lol Someone thinking they are "hood"? Yeah, gave it a quick listen and it's all sounding like commercial pre-packaged "hood" rather than genuine "hood". Hence why there are a bunch of known artists on there to support it
  9. Liked the post referring to Special Olympics
  10. I'm still wondering that HKS, a manufacturer of aftermarket parts, does not have insurance to fit their own items...
  11. Pink Friday is also the name of Nicki Minaj's new album, lol
  12. My milage when I bought it was 38K two years ago, now a few miles short of 70K Daily driver, too poor to have a second car
  13. no need for paint thinner, just some good old DOT4 will always do the trick....
  14. From First to current: 1974 Toyota Celica ST, brown, primer and rust, (owned, but not driven on road, no license yet) 1986 Toyota Corolla GT Hatchback FWD, metallic blue, (first official car I drove) 1994 Honda Prelude 2.0L UK non-VTEC model, silver 1992 Honda Prelude 2.2L JDM VTEC model, silver 2004 Nissan 350Z, silver Only thing I can think of that is close to a theme is that every car I owned apart from the '74 Celica has had aftermarket wheels, lowering springs/coilovers, exhausts and stereo equipment changed by me.
  15. Although I have a decent Nikon DSLR, I am going to get a good compact that is easier to carry around than a bag full of lenses, I think I would take more photos with a pocket sized camera At the moment the Nikon Coolpix S4000 is favourite http://www.jessops.com/online.store/categories/Digital%20Compact%20Cameras/products/Nikon/Coolpix%20S4000%20Premium%20Bundle%20-%20Black-79259/Show.html Got my GF a Canon IXUS 130 for X-Mas, it has 14 Megapixel compared to the Nikons 12.... And it has a load of functions on it, and auto mode is quite capable, apart from nightshots, best switch to manual mode and select night snap shot mode and perhaps tinker with the exp settings
  16. Put car in axle stands to avoid flatspots in tyres
  17. You should ask DMS in Erith what they would charge. Essentially it's a P3 plus fitting of brakelines and belts. DMS also do a wheel alignment check as part of the service. The P3 at DMS also includes the fluids required, i.e. Engine oil, diff oil, gearbox oil and brake fluid. I'm pretty sure DMS can do the above cheaper, can hurt asking IMO
  18. The thing is that from factory the throttle is restricted in the first three gears. So in first you get 60%, so even if you do only use 60% of throttle in first you are actually using less. Plus the UpRev has the ability to be tuned to specific mods that have been carried out. At Abbey, Mark has a huge range of maps saved for different amounts or combinations of mods, thus allowing you to get the gains in performance.

  20. No, its the uprev that frees the horses. But is it worth £400 to gain 12bhp ish? and some extra torque? I would like to know if those who had the revup done still think its been worthwhile? I had UpRev done by Abbey and think it was worth it, just for having 100% throttle in each gear alone.
  21. True that on distance to TV, Went to Local TV shop looking to buy a replacement TV (remember mine went a month or so ago) Found myself comparing two, one a Samsung 42" plasma and a Samsung 40" LCD. Plasma was £399 and LCD was £499 (£429 on play.com, but I wanted it immediately, rather than wait, lol). Plasma was hooked up to BluRay via HDMI on it own, LCD was hokked up to a Component cable splitter box sharing with 4 other tellys. LCD was sharper and Plasma was slightly grainy. Was told by a friend that Plasma is better for sports and such, where as LCD is better for games consoles and such. I went for the 40" LCD and am very happy with it. This is the one I went for http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electro ... type=genre In-Depth review here http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/samsung- ... 728791.htm
  22. 2 options, wait for it to appear in the used cars, never has for me, or apparently you can win one via one of the licenses. Or someone from here could send you one as a gift
