  1. The Ksport 8 pots also have better inner wheel clearance than UK specs. I have UK specs and have looked into the K sports as an upgrade. My wheels only just clear UK calipers, but you get a few more mm with the Ksports.
  2. I would remove whatever set the offending part is on, be it front or rear. Then get a set of CW's to match the bilsteins. They'll be as good, if not better than the stock ones.
  3. I can see this car stealing every show it attends. The attention to detail is simply staggering.
  4. You've done a great job there mate.
  5. Is the car using a lot of oil? Get a compression check done + a leak down test.
  6. Nice results, have to say I don't like the wheels though.
  7. Did you have no problems before the swap? I'm sure I read something in a thread once about lack of boost on first turbo but bugger me if I can find it. In the mean time, try an ECU reset by disconnecting battery for 30 seconds to see if it makes a difference.
  8. This is multi region across the board for both BR and DVD. You have an option to make the player quick start, which means it'll start playing the disc around 10 seconds after you switch the unit on. Or, you can have it off, which means it takes around 30-40 seconds to start playing.
  9. You bad man Can't beat a good quality blu ray though
  10. Do you fancy a straight swap with my blu ray player? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=215175
  11. Amen to that....thats why I have my stand alone Blu ray player for sale in the for sale section
  12. Have you not seen gears of war?
  13. Heavy rain is a PS3 exclusive, so there's no comparison. FF was built from the ground up for the PS3 as the lead platform using the Crystal engine. It was then ported to the 360, because the architecture is so different, the lead platform is usually the better looking game on the respective console. (ff13 on the 360 actually suffers less slow down than the Ps3 version, but is running in a lower resolution) Bayonetta for example, is shocking on PS3, and silky smooth on 360. Ghostbusters is bad on PS3 with missing textures and effects, but fine on 360. Edit just to add - The differences between these games on each console is so small, that at the end of the day, unless they were side by side, you'd never notice the difference. It'd be mad to suggest that a game was substatially inferior on one or the other. Irrespective of what version you buy, you'll be getting the same game experience as everyone else. (but the PC version of Crysis 2 will without doubt, be a much more polished experience than the console version)
  14. Blimey mate, that's very kind of you. got any pics of it? Where abouts in kent are you?, If you're not far, I'll take it off you hands this weekend.
  15. I've not treated the water with tetra safe, as the previous hole in the head fish was being treated with protozin and I didn't want to stress the fish too much with more chemicals. There is a filter shown on the left of the tank, I also bought the bus thing (my son picked it) which the bonnet opens every 15 seconds on a seperate pump, there is also a bubble bar running across the bottom of the tank at the rear to help oxygenate the water (and the fish love it).
  16. I'd have to stick one of these on the front of it http://www.rssmediastudies.co.uk/images/18certificate.png
  17. My inlaws recently bought my son a fish tank with a couple of goldfish. I've had goldfish before so know the basics of looking after them, but my recent dealings have left me stumped. First off, on the second day, one of the fish developed a white sore on its head, I got some fungal treatment for it but the spot quickly spread across its whole head, then a huge hole appeared across the whole of the top of its head. The fish didn't last long after that and I found it dead the next day. Googling it has revealed that my fish had hole in the head disease (how horrid is that?). I cleaned the tank out and decided to get another fish to keep the other company (and to try and get it before my son noticed one was missing). The new fish was introduced into the tank, and is a complete lunatic. He flys around everywhere doing flips in the water and harrassing the other fish. It started off with it just chasing the other, but then I noticed last night that the new fish was nibbling the fins off the other fish. I got up this morning and the new fish has killed the old one. It was bashing the corpse into the corner and had taken chunks out of it. I've since googled 'aggressive goldfish' and it's not anything new, but this new one clearly has some anger issues. My last 3 golds lived for nearly 20 years, so to lose 2 in such a short space of time is a bit worrying. So what can I do about getting another fish before my son notices. Are there any other types of fish that can live with golds that he won't harass/kill/eat. Here's a pic of the little blighter...............
