some mp3's have DRM (digital rights managment) which means you can't do much with them. and yes, certain file types cannot be played.

Looking into getting a new steering wheel for the Supe, first off, where is the best place to get them, selection wise ? I've bought a couple from http://www.funkystyling.co.uk before, but they take an age to get delivered. Also, does anyone have any good suggestions style wise ?, I like the look of the Issota ones. If anyone has any suggestions or advice at all, it would be very much appreciated, thanks

Is santa pod signposted from the A509?

while playing any game, press the button in the centre of the controller, then select music, then select source, then play all. The music in the game will stop and your slected music will play Its been a godsend throughout test drive unlimited

Every game on the 360 has custom soundtracks

Yes, you can stream music to the 360 to listen too, but not copy it across. you need a wireless network and media player 11, selct share in the tab at the top of the media player window and select the 360 on the network, then, set the 360 up to share the music, it becomes an option in the 360 dashbord to listen to music from your PC.

The xbox 360 system uses a 'dedicated' online service that you subscribe to. It costs £40 a year. For this you get dedicated servers with a unified online service. You have one freinds list that is unified with every game, you get a little popup when one of your freinds comes online irrespective of what you are doing, whether it be watching a DVD or playing any game. All the games for the 360 that have online capability use this same service making them all linked, or 'unified'. For example, you could be playing PGR3 blatting around the nurburgring racing a group of french noobs, when one of your freinds, who's playing Gears of War chainsawing people in the face, can private chat you by simply pressing the center button on the game contoller. the game does not get interuppted and you can chat away to each other. If he's getting owned, you can choose to jump to his game to help him out. It ejects the disc for you and you put in Gears of War, it then loads straight into his game without any prompting. All the time, your still chatting to him without any break in communication. You only have to have one list of freinds instead of the PS3's individual freinds list for each game. Then theres the downloadable content. The 360's list of available is astounding with new demos being released on it every week, along with movie trailers, music, game trailers, full games (live arcade) etc etc, the sheer amount of content available has the second highest content rating in the world, the first being I-tunes. So you never need to by a magazine again as the demos, trailers and movie clips are all part of the service. All the movie content is High Definition stuff, so looks awesome if you have a screen capable of displaying it. Because the servers are dedicated, it downloads the stuff as fast as your connection is capable of. It also has a queing system, on the PS3, when you choose to download something, you cannot que anything else up, your stuck waiting for whatever your downloading to finish before you can do anything else. The 360 can que 8 different items, while waiting for them to download, you can play any game you want and it won't make any difference, it'll still download in the background. You can also turn off the machine or lose you internet connection, it'll remember where it got too and resume the next time it turns on. Then a little popup will tell you when its finished. Then theres the fact that it is a media center PC at heart, meaning if you have a wireless network at home, you can go into media player 11 on your PC, select everything you want to share in the network, it'll come up saying its found the 360. Then, go downstairs, load up the 360, and it'll link to your PC wirelessly, you can stream music or videos straight to the 360 via your home network. So you can watch all that porn you've downloaded onto your PC on your huge TV downstairs through your 360. You can use your music saved on your PC to stream at anytime to your 360, meaning you can be playing any game, and have any music you want as a custom soundtrack playing in the background. With the PS3, future online games that demand high bandwidth usage may require you to pay a monthly payment to play the game online. EG - world of warcraft. This is currently under disscussion between Sony and game devs. you could be looking at giving your bank details to different game devs everytime you get a new game and go online with it.

Can I just say, if like me, your really into online gaming (there is nothing more satisfying than shooting american brat kids in the face close range then laughing over their corpse), then the 360 is the one to get, its online capabilities are far superior to the PS3's. I could go into the list of reasons why but I'm currently at work, earning tax payers money, which could be frowned upon slightly

I soooooo wish I lived closer to turbo fit.

With that kit, spoiler is better.

Yup, its gonna be a busy summer for 360 owners, forza 2 looks soooooooo good.

love those dc5's about 220bhp I think, so faster than the civic, not to mention better looking

I thought about this idea too About the torque convertor bolts, hmmm, never heard of that one. Have you checked the little metal plate/link between the bell housing and the first CAT. While searching around for possible rattle causes, I came across this one a couple of times, apparently it snaps when the engine twists through torque and causes a rattle around the front of the gearbox. It would probably sound like it was coming from the torque convertor area. I thought I would suggest this before you spend £££ taking out the box

OMFG, I've got to get out of this country.

well, I replicated the rattle by lightly hitting the pipe with my fist, yet if i put my hand around the heatsheild holding them, the rattle goes away

Yeah, forgot about this post, mine is the second cat heatsheild.

Sold Keron is getting it on the santa pod supra day.

I know, but the size of it makes it awkward to send, I've had body parts arrive mashed up after sending, no amount of packing will keep it safe. Then you get the hassle of disgruntled buyers saying the goods are not fit for pupose because its damaged. Its easier just to give it away. £15 is not worth the grief.

After not having any joy with the previous buyer, this is now taking up too much space and I need it gone. Its free if anyone wants to collect, I'm willing to drive a short distance to meet someone to make it easier for them. I live in Bexleyheath, Kent.

tps is easy to replace. Look where your throttle cables meet the inlet manifold, there is a circular black sensor on the opposite site of the plenum with wires going to it. Thats it.

a259 is a brilliant road though. Great for stretching the supe's legs.

Was it a woman driving ?, if so, I've seen that one about.

I'll be bringing the camera

Probably until the 6ltr monaro VXR comes into my price range
