  1. What have u got in your box then Mark? (that sounds like something the veteran forum fairy would be saying ) I also have the cup holders.
  2. Im in... but £20 would have to be the upper price for a keyfob. Great idea
  3. Cheers everyone. Rich, im using 'Maximus Arcade' as the front end, which is an amazing bit of software (had to crack it). This then launches all the standard emulators, so Zsnes, project 64 etc etc...
  4. I think everyone's zed looks slightly different at the front bumper vs bonnet. However, one explanation could be that the wrong shade has been used. For example, when i got the duct and my eyelids sprayed, the paint shop said there were 4 different mixes for my paint code, and they had a swatch of each which we held up to my car and i picked the best match. Could be this... did your bodyshop do that do you know?
  5. Hey All, After 6 months, i've finally got round to finishing my arcade machine this week. Total cost? £290 Since my last update on my project blog (viewtopic.php?f=13&t=26206&hilit=arcade+blog) i've re-finished the front panels in black felt, added the chrome t-moulding around the edges (which i imported from the states ), and got hold of some professional quality sticks. It has a PC inside, as well as a Sega Dreamcast, and the sticks control both of these. The PC has a full arcade front end, which loads immediately when switched on, and you control everything via the sticks - so no need for a keyboard and mouse. You even switch the PC off by holding the player-select buttons down! Finally, i added a Coin-Op mechanism to it, which can switch the PC on... but there's also a hidden switch too. See the video and pictures below. Note the Windows logon and logoff music!!
  6. WTF, you got it already man? This is bollocks! I WANT IT NOW!!!! I just downloaded the release trailer on the xbox... the one with 'Till i Collapse' playing... really got me in the mood!
  7. Im there too on Saturday with 4 mates from work and about 20 others Even though Manc is local for me, i've hardly ever been out there - probably less than 10 times ever. I think we're starting in the Northern Quarter at 2pm... on it all day, then back into the center after that.
  8. Nope! My Dad lives in Austin, Texas and the star QB for the Texas Longhorns is called 'Colt Mccoy'. Now THATS the coolest name ever!
  9. Welcome Joey. Good luck finding a good example. I think there are a few for sale on here at the mo.

    Respraying Rays...

    From yesterday mate... viewtopic.php?f=31&t=29382
  12. I can't bear to watch the slating they give it. Or is it the other ridiculous one where they race an Audi tt - on a sandy beach so it loses?
  13. Can you believe i still haven't seen one in the flesh yet?!
  14. Cheers matey. I just wish they were 18" If anyone's interested, here's the progress thread: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=21148&start=15
  15. Lucky?! At 3-1 down i knew the match wasnt over, you knew it wasnt, and so did the comentators...! Thats just how we roll... Ha ha, I knew someone would bite, your not a proper Man U fan anyway.... your not from down south.... Get back to your prawn sandwiches Not a propper fan I worked at OT for 6 years on matchdays as the operations manager for the official match day programme sales. But you're right - the majority of the fans were cockneys, and every week they'd be asking how much the programmes cost
  16. Lucky?! At 3-1 down i knew the match wasnt over, you knew it wasnt, and so did the comentators...! Thats just how we roll...
  17. Nope - i did it with lots and lots of masking tape, a paint brush, and about 6 coats of paint! Using 1 inch pieces of tape to get an accurate curve, i taped off both the tyre side and wheel side. To do the whole wheels took me about 40 hours! But then only cost me 40quid
  18. WTF??? How come they're being dispatched now??? Im assuming this is because of the postal strike?
  19. I painted my own JDM wheels with some rattle cans and a steady hand... viewtopic.php?f=61&t=21587&hilit=paint+wheels
  20. Welcome Chris. The first place i'd look for a zed if i were buying would be on here - you know it will have been looked after. Spec wise, the zed is very simple in that you only have 2 spec levels for a UK car - GT or non-GT. And the differences are only minor really - different wheels, leather interior, sat nav and bose sounds.
  21. The conversion formula is ((value x 4.5) x 0.625). Im running at about 6.7 km/l at the moment, which is 18.8mpg.
