  1. It was all done on iPhone6, including editing, no GoPro, no DSLRS, no Final Cut Pro etc
  2. “They’ve taken great advantage of modern communications and modern financial techniques†to promote themselves, recruit followers and amass money and weapons, said Mark Wallace, a former Bush administration diplomat and lawyer heading the new organisation. “There’s been an absence of people operating to counter that.†http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/where-does-isis-get-its-money-from-us-steps-up-the-battle-to-find-out-9747563.html
  3. Updated the original post with a better version, sound was distorted and also included a drift sequence of the Camaro
  4. I haven't asked yet, neither have been offered, will email Mark again this week. Certain is that the car was driving absolutely fine when I left it there, while driving on a base map, restricted to 4500rpm for 70 miles and collected it as it is now, with clutches sleeping in 4th, 6th and 7th. The invoice says that worked has been carried out on the gearbox, this being the second time, Abbey had also tuned the gearbox when I had the UpRev done initially. Nissan Consult III says:
  5. Increase the line pressure way above the normal values, get the oil too hot to the point it gets degraded, too much uncontrolled torque run through etc. I drove the car from RT-Performance to AbbeyMotorSport with absolutely no problem at all, about 70 miles, no clutch sleeping or any other problems with the gearbox. To cut the story short, I've left it there while I went abroad and collected with the gearbox shattered, breaking down on M25. Long story, I will post more details after I speak with Mark again next week. He hasn't replied yet to my last email sent on 10th of September.
  6. The gearbox was damaged on the Dyno at AbbeyMS, so the mapping wasn't finished, the car is limited to 4500rpm at the moment.
  7. Need to sort out some other small issues, also fit the SPL font rods, do some engine mount spacers and maaaaaaaaybe, just maaaaaaaybe start looking into a stroker kit over the winter https://conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=3472 http://www.the370z.com/forced-induction/68825-engine-build-components.html
  8. Little update: After the Ace Cafe meet yesterday we went to church for the Saturday mass (read RT PERFORMANCE) We did a bit if research with the Consult III plus, then jacked the car up and got the gearbox off, ready to be sent to USA for rebuilding. Might have some more plans over the winter, we'll see how this goes. Thanks a lot to Father Taras for letting us in the church again and also to DarrenB, SpursMadDave, madmikester, Dashurik and Modjo for helping out!
  9. BAGHDAD — The United States has conducted an escalating campaign of deadly airstrikes against the extremists of the Islamic State for more than a month. But that appears to have done little to tamp down the conspiracy theories still circulating from the streets of Baghdad to the highest levels of Iraqi government that the C.I.A. is secretly behind the same extremists that it is now attacking. “We know about who made Daesh,†said Bahaa al-Araji, a deputy prime minister, using an Arabic shorthand for the Islamic State on Saturday at a demonstration called by the Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr to warn against the possible deployment of American ground troops. Mr. Sadr publicly blamed the C.I.A. for creating the Islamic State in a speech last week, and interviews suggested that most of the few thousand people at the demonstration, including dozens of members of Parliament, subscribed to the same theory. (Mr. Sadr is considered close to Iran, and the theory is popular there as well.) http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/21/world/middleeast/suspicions-run-deep-in-iraq-that-cia-and-the-islamic-state-are-united.html
  10. Dave, you don't need full hd unless you're playing videos from it on your tv, connected by cable. The screen is awesome, you can have a play with my tool today at Ace if you're coming )
  11. Yes, have a look on ebay for CMOS cameras with lines on
  12. I'm in love with my new iPhone, good decision getting the standard 6, the 6 plus is just stupidly big.
  13. I swear to God (although I'm an atheist ) I was thinking the same while I was driving today, I need to put that in my will, in case I die, you get the 370z... to sell the parts and the car and give money to my family :lol:
  14. The short story: the gearbox was damaged during tuning (read fuc|<ed), it's now being removed and sent to Level Ten to be rebuilt, but stronger, in case I want to rebuild the engine too, later. About 1000bhp. http://www.levelten.com/Level_10_Nissan_PTS_Bulletproof_Torque_Converter_p/niss-g1800-9000p.htm All in all, about $6000... The long story to follow.
  15. Oh, so killing for fun is WAR casualties? What the hell are we doing in Afganistan and Irak anyway? What have we achieved in so many years of war, other than bringing our sons, brothers, fathers, uncles home in metal coffins? Thousands of them...
  16. So how do you base your reality? Make assumptions about who and who wasnt executed? It makes no difference who they were, soldier, journalist, agent etc, to video and execute someone or anyone for whatever reason is a disgrace. We do it for fun... there are so many videos like that leaked: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/apr/05/wikileaks-us-army-iraq-attack As I said, it's a delicate subject.
