  1. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA nope. Norton is better than it used to be, but it's still right at the bottom of the (nut)sack. You don't really need a virus checker on your computer as long as you're sensible, a firewall is enough. No, I don't run without a virus checker because I don't trust myself to be sensible all the time
  2. Didn't realise the headers showed IPs as well, handy! Cheers mate
  3. Mastic. Much less fiddly than tape, which I find never seems to really stick properly.
  4. No, it's a brand name. Only JWT make Popchargers.
  5. Must admit, Sarnie's got a point. I'd never admit to a salesman that I wasn't going to buy a car from him, as that's just going to put him off straight away and probably with good cause. I do think the salesman could've handled it better, however we don't know if the OP marched in with an attitude or not so that could've been the reason for the hostility. Not saying that is what happened, but if you feel you're being fobbed off you're likely to get the hump which makes you even more defensive, and that then annoys the other guy further etc. It's all about the attitude. If you're polite, pleasant, make the right noises without committing to anything then you'll always get your test drive.
  6. Vanessa Ferrari is in the Women's Floor Final at 16:23. Just in case you would like to book the TV.
  7. Don't think he stalled it as it's got the F1 'box, looked more like a software error that wouldn't let him select any gear other than reverse so he switched it off and on again to try and correct it.
  8. You can shift whenever you want, it's only for your own use/benefit. Tbh the light is a bit too small to be really helpful.
  9. You have a rev limiter that's dependant on the engine in your car: Either 6500, 7000, or 7500. What you're setting is the change-up light, not the rev limiter.
  10. Aww boo they're only for the 'Ring and a few others
  11. Porsches were never cool. Ever. Bloody great cars, but never cool.
  12. Anything Angry Bird related is very cool. TWO YEARS AGO Might as well stick a SuperDry t-shirt on it and be done with it.

    Have you tried asking AP direct? Not being funny or 'owt, I've contacted them directly myself a few times in the past regarding sourcing parts and with tech questions and they're really helpful.
  14. Eyelids. They are the most ridiculous mod anyone ever invented, right up there with the 'bad boy' bonnets. It's stick-on plastic tat. Sticking with lights, tinting film. Why you would want to make your car harder to see (and as such, easier for others to drive into) is beyond me. Sticking with tinting, tints on glass. Why you would want to make it harder for you to see (and as such, easier for you to crash into things) is also beyond me. Cars with £20,000 worth of ICE. It's a car, not a soundstage: Spending a fortune only goes so far towards good quality audio when you're sitting in a tin can. Mahoosive wheels with rubber band tyres. Congrats, you just make your car heavier AND the ride atrocious! Cuddly toys. The one exception is LM time, when any ol' tat goes in the name of irony and humour. Numberplates that are badly spaced or silly fonts or too small. Either stay legal or just remove the bloody thing. Less penalties for the latter, too. Rat look. No, it's not cool, IT'S F*CKING RUSTY AND ABOUT TO FALL APART. Man invented Hammerite for a reason. Super-stretched tyres on wheels/slammed cars. Every time your wheel arches rub or you bottom out driving over a ladybird, God kills a kitten. Any stickers or emblems purchased from Halfrauds. You do not have a Type R GTi Sport RS, get f*cked. Tuner stickers on a car that contains no tuning bits. No Nismo exhaust or bodykit? Take the f*cking sticker off then you pillock. That'll do for now. My blood pressure is rising just thinking about it.
  15. Either it'll never come out, or it'll be mega bucks, or it'll weigh another 300kg. Lotus can't even do lightweight anymore, this has no chance. Shame, as it's very pretty.
  16. I agree, buying new dampers and springs is a much better use of the money long-term, but he'll go quicker on 888s than by changing suspension.
  17. Usain Bolt can hit a top speed of 27mph. That means if he ran into a child, there would be a 20% chance they'd die. THINK! Speed kills.
  18. Actually the 370Z can cope with 95 without serious problem, barring a slight loss in power. Get the code read and clear it, and possibly chuck a bottle of octane booster in the tank as well if you're still worried (about a fiver from a good motor factor). It'll be fine, probably just coincidence.
  19. Some dealers are great. Some dealers are rubbish. Some will get my money. Some won't. /thread
  20. You don't even have to disclose Cat C or D unless asked. Rich is right, it's all about selling the car and letting the potential buyer ask the questions they think is necessary. Perhaps not ethically correct, but otherwise no-one will ever buy anything. Sad truth of life.
  21. Rev5 were the very final FI mk2s, think the BEAMS engined ones were the very last ones. Rev3 the one to have though as you can decat them with no MOT worries.
  22. Follow the same advice and see what works for you
  23. Don't buy a helmet without trying it on. Comfortable fit is absolutely paramount, and they're different shapes as well as sizes. I wanted to buy a decent Bell or Arai, but they're not a good fit on me so I saved myself £300 and ended up with a Sparco Formua. Trust me, you want a fireproof one. You may be a fine driver taking it easy, but the madman behind you with dodgy brakes might have other ideas.
