  1. Spacers Cheat, would still ruin the handling though for different reasons 17" JDM wheels do fit over brembos.
  2. Personally I think it feel like Christmas early November. By december it's just too much plus there is an expectation that it has to be good which I think spoils it. Not just that everyone is grumpy around that time as they have had it stuffed down their throat for the last 3months.
  3. Scott Mills played Alll I want for xmas on Wednesday so its coming
  4. Awesome. What type of chutney? You should make tomato ketchup too. I had some home made stuff ages ago and it was far better than heinz.

    Megan is usually the USA's japspeed. The japspeed stuff is DC sports copies.
  6. Also I came to a Iphone 4 from a windows 6 phone too that might be why I love it soo much too
  7. This /end thread lol Horses for courses and all that. I dont like androids as much as iphones. I know some people who prefer andriods over iphones.
  8. Hold on. Look at the figures. Q2 2012, 68% of smart phones sold were android, and only 17% were iOS (Apple). So, its not a case of Android "catching up" with Apple, they have long since flown by them and are the most popular OS on smart phones. Thats partly because android isnt just 1 phone, its on hundreds of different models of phones. So you get basic lower level 80quid PAYG entry phones running the same android as say the top of the range Samsung Galaxy S3. Looking at the specs, the iphone 5 is way behind the S3 even on the hardware, and the new Nokia 920 is even further behind. Although until we get some actual benchmark testing done we wont know exactly how they all compare hardware wise. I was also reading about how apple spend hardly anything on their research & development compared to other companies such as Samsung, so its hardly surprising that they are falling behind. I find that really surprising when they are one of the biggest companies in the world now. Your talking about sales which I never mentioned. I'm talking about user experience. Benchmarking? That doesnt always translate into a good phone though does it. Also yes Andriod is selling loads as you said because there is lots of phone and at a cheap price. I actually agree with Ekona for one But thats my opinion and not everyone has to like the same thing. For as many reasons as there is to love android or IOS there is just as many to hate them depending on what you prefer.
  9. There is no doubt about that. I agree in someways the iPhone is way behind but I don't buy new phones. I'm on a £10 sim only deal with O2. I got my iPhone 4 for next to nothing. The screen is smaller but IMO its nicer than the g2s screen. Most newer phones are packing some fast processors but in someways aren't as smooth or fast as androids. Apple only has to make IOS for a limited amount of hardware condigurations but andriod has to work on nearly everything. If you paid 5-600 quid you might be annoyed but I didnt. I honestly think the iPhone is more than the some of its parts and that's due to IOS. Saying that I bloody hate whatever they use on their laptops. As I've said I've used some of the top android phones and for me personally they still have some way to go. I'm pretty sure in the next couple of years though unless iPhones start trumping android in hardware AND software its going down. Android does get better ever year aswell and at the rate it's catching up apple will have to start innovating again. Other wise apple will turn into the new Nokia. APMSL The brand spanking new iPhone 5 has a smaller screen than an S3, no NFC, no HD output, no drag and drop from Windows, a slower processor, shorter battery life, less camera options, you cant upgrade or replace the memory or battery, it wont run Flash or Java and you need to replace every connector you already have. Ive got nothing against iPhones, they are easy to use and all that but it seems that once again Apple are recycling existing technology and charging a lot of money for it.
  10. Apple fan boys are good people. They updated every 16months therefore we can get cheap last gen iPhones.
  11. iPhone's are great. I'm no apple fanboy infant I despise macs and iTunes. But it's so fast and easy to use and the apps IMO are better than android ones. I have tried the androids and the people who own them say but I didn't want an iPhone without trying it so that's just as fanboy. Plus picking up a smart phone for 10mins and saying you don't like it is harsh. You need much more time. I made on of my friends use it for a while and now he wants to swap his one x that banged on about. The iPhone is the ferrari and the androids are modded mr2's. Now with a phone that I constantly use and need plus ther isn't a massive difference in price il stick with apple but for tablets I don't think you could beat a nexus 7 for the price.
  12. Red and chrome looks good but what about something wild like toffee crisp orange or pink mixed in with the chrome? If thats too mad what about the colour of the body?
  13. After more digging it turns out it is the breather. Appararebtly this side doesnt vent as much stuff but I think it might be worth while catch caning it just to keep the TB clean. Has anyone done this?
  14. Do it Taras And who 's Ardian anyways? Ratas's mate I guess
  15. What sort of control arms are they next to the coilovers?
  16. My catch can is connected ( if you are facing the car ) on the left side from the crankcase directly to a port on the manifold. There was already a tube going there and I just put a catch can inbetween. It could be the same set up on this side I suppose but my catch can isnt connected to the intake pipe.
  17. Hi guys just needing a bit of clarification. This is the type of intake tube on my car. See the bit that says emmisions tube connection. What is that? Is it a breather from the crank case or something else. I ask because the pipe on the crankcase to manifold I have put a catch can there so I was just wondering if I should do the same on this side?
  18. I've been listening to his program on radio 4. Shows his journey from working class to middle class. Very clever guy and ambitious.
  19. It looks really tricky but it isnt with practice, just use your phone to time the different stages and then to record the code I always video the code. Makes it easier.
  20. Lol kinda. Had to bend the ac condenser out of the way to put in some pulleys. Strained the metal and made a tiny hole. I know where you mean now.
