  1. I used to run...

     

    Five axis, 5AD, S5:F Wheels

    back: 22 offset, 10.5 wide, 295 30 r19

    front: 25 offset, 9.5 wide, 265 30 r19

    I put 305 on the rear later and it was fine even lowered a tiny bit... until I changed tyre brand and then it rubbed, thus arches needed rolled. Worth remembering that different tyres have different shapes to them.

     

    Everyone loved the steam roller look though :teeth:

  2. I used the 'lowering on the jack' method to make sure they're tight on replacement too :teeth:

    I'd be using my big torque wrench to put them back on instead of going for FT; there is such a thing as over tight and it can be as bad as leaving them too loose.

     

    I would also use a six sided socket to help avoid rounding off the bolts.

    Also, this 100x over.

     

    One of these

    Is far better than one of these

  3. I have the blackvue (Front and rear) and had problems at the start ............. but they were of my own making (RTFM)

     

    their cameras "prefer" their own SD cards at the higher capacity and this is true as I tried a few - but only the one supplied by blackvue has given no problems ............ also - format the card in the camera not on the pc (although you can, but more often than not when you put it back in the camera it doesn't like it :wacko: )

     

    resolution at 1020 is more than enough - you can view the footage on your phone (low quality), on the software provided for your pc (low quality) but when you export it as a proper vid ... full HD

     

    as said reliability - I've had no issues, other than my own making :blush:

     

    When SD cards are manufactured they inevitably have failed sectors. This is why when you put a 4GB card into your PC it may read 3.89GB or some such, the 0.11GB represents the dead stuff. All of these dead sectors aren't necessarily next to each other, they are spread all over. When the card is manufactured, they test it to check how many dead bits it has, they then class it by these, a higher class having less dead bits. This isn't entirely important when transferring files, as a computer will skip the dead bits and crack on with the one after it no problem. The reason cameras, or cheaper and smaller electronics suffer is that they don't deal with dead sectors properly, they just want to write from start to finish and not take the time to work out if the sector has successfully taken the write. That action costs processing, thus increases the cost or size of the device. So, by specifying that you have to use super amazing class cards, they avoid having to increase the device cost on their side ;) Now it's worth remembering that if you buy a high class card from china for cheaps, it's likely not going to be actually any good, you need to go for a reputable brand and you can even run a test on it once you open it, and if you find it's not satisfactory you could even contact them to ask what the deal is with their crap product. Run this tool on it https://www.avforums...w.1347842/��And it'll tell you it's speeds and it's actual capacity. Simply put, don't buy cheap @*!# SD cards from fleabay.

     

    Sorry for the wall of text :p

  4. Just the one day, needed to wait for the neighbor to be free and the rain to let up (the rain never let up). Worked out it was around 200kg and we put it's awkward shaped ass up on a high table, I'm actually still hurting from it :(

     

    I also wanted to refurb my workbench and vice before I brought it in. It's such a pretty colour now :D

  5. I did design a large steel milling CNC, got a lot of the work done inn the design stages and priced it at just over £2k to build it how I wanted. that was a couple of years ago and not what I was able to shell out at the time. This little guy is the step before building the half ton heavy beast :lol:

    A lot of the design changed but I dont have any of the SS of the CAD for that, much of the bolting went replaced with welds, I did more work on the other axis too. But once I really got a feel of the cost I bailed on the plans.

  6. I could make some nice custom engine bay bling :lol: For the celica I'll likely make new caps for various things, couple brackets here and there, some facia parts for my conversion, then a heap of replacement bits for all the plastic that's broken or scratched. Might even go to town on the switches with some aluminium... Can't wait!
