anyone a big kid like me and love anything RC!! i have a traxxas Revo 3.3. and is my 4th Nitro model. also had 3 other electric cars, planes (nitro) and boats. no helicopters yet tho. the big problem i have is tuning on this car. never had a car like it, its so temperamental. replaced plugs and fresh fuel. always do a run down and clean procedure. go a temp gun and head gauge. can anybody shed so light on tuning tips. i have had a good butchers on google too. also was thinking if anybody has a car and want to bring it to wales it could be a laugh.

i have a lo-tech one compared to the above. has a 500gb laptop HDD that has a full 1080p HD output. plugs in the back of the telly via a lead ect. has a micro usb port to load movies onto. will play almost any format of movie. it came from china (EBAY Special) and was about 40 quid. (doesnt include the HDD) but will take upto 1TB apparently. the unit is great. bit temperamental sometimes but it is quite old now. so will be looking to upgrade. i will get the same unit just the latest version i think. i have a feeling that the new ones have a network port also.

Any heating engineers on here? Advice needed plz!!
sparky370z replied to SteveW's topic in Off Topic Discussion
First thing is, is the stat wireless? If so it might need to be married to the boiler. The check the boiler I would get a small bit of cable and connect it into where the link is in the boiler. This is just an enable and should not carry any voltage. All you have to do is switch the boiler on and make and break the cable to see if the enable is working properly. The stat I have is battery operated with a hard wired enable signal. This is just a two core cable going back to the boiler. If u want more help pm me your number and I'll give.u a ring -
as due coarse you should always replace with new ones.

yes i believe its the same engine in the fabia VRS. 1.4 TSI. quick but i have heard problems, that put me off getting one/

Massive shame dude! My mate has just sold his corsa vxr arctic ed. for a steal too. It was a very cool car, build quality is good and sounds amazing with the rebus exhaust! Very quick for the size of the engine. Was very surprised. It felt very tight, and quick to drive, would get adults in the back. Boots not bad. However the vxr looks a bit more chav than the mini. But i prefer the vxr Out of interest how much you asking for the swift? And what spec is it? Feel free to pm me.

its a shame really, i knew that i didnt have "natural" academic talent. ie maths, english and languages ect. but the best lesson was always DT. it gave me the confidence to know i could build stuff and get things working and fixed. all of the "clever kids" would actually come to me for help. i always got an A, i loved that class. and i knew that i would go into a job that involved using my hands and getting dirty!!

Fuse? Is everything else working? -
Is the catch can designed for the 350 DE? Or would i have to find a way to mount it? Cheers

D1 Spec throttle controller group buy
sparky370z replied to Jez @ H-Dev's topic in Horsham Developments
i have literally just fitted one of these. its a great bit of kit. especially for those that havent had a Up-rev. SP7 is like getting a massive kick up the arse. ECO really tames the beast at low throttle position. will be good to see what its like on a long journey! recommend to everyone for -
spotted you driving up to the lights, standard GT i think. had a black sticker on the boot lid. something like "Visage".
-
yeah cool, girls can have some wine at home and the boys can have some tins in the Zedshed. LOL
-
Hey bob, Yeah spoiler for the rear. Not really the look im going for. Have to meet up soon. Perhaps in the zed shed!

fitting the handbrake cover was a right PITA. modding it was not too bad with the dremel, made a neat job of it. had to sand down the handbrake shaft, to round it out so that the cover fits. took a while but got there in the end. the throttle controller is awesome. now got my Nismo skirts and V1 spoiler to fit now.
-
well, after a few months of being off the the road, i decided i couldnt bare it any longer..... so i got her Taxed, mot'd and serviced at Abbey. i had a few bits i needed to put on and gave her clean. took a few pics so first was the Nismo gear knob and Nardi Handbrake, also installed my D1-Spec Throttle Controller. and also eventually installed my Nismo valve caps the throttle controller is awesome. in SP7 the difference is amazing. will see what ecomode does for a long motorway journey. hope you like

Yes they were total bellends! Especially Steve!

Right, am I just being a total dumb ass here. Do these machines actually exist? If they do, is there anyone down south that would let me see one working? It is awesome!
