  1. I work for Orange and they have given everyone a minature 'siamese tictac' phone strap but everyone here talks about it and agrees its annoying but it certainly does stick and you knows its Orange! Definately not as good as the Orange 'switch off your mobile' adverts in cinemas! That steven seagal one LOL

    lights

    This ones in the engine bay matey Look at the pics. On the twin turbos it's near the big throttle body thingy-ma-jig (i'm sure someone will gives its correct name something like TCMS or something) Just a black block with a cap on top that reads "diagnostics". Short out the two pins as directed E1 and TE1 i think it was and switch on the ignition - count the blinks the engine warning light does and this relates to the codes in the chart provided in the post above! (click error codes if you already haven't)
  3. Thats a bit far from Cumbria isn't it?? Can't beleive people can be spotted in a place like kinloss but I can drive up to Carlisle in my Supra and not be spotted!!
  4. Alright mate, alright. New job, more money, so should be able to start BPU'ing my baby, but this month I have to sets of car tax and mot for the Sup to pay for. Happy new year to me! lol And yourself? Chhers for letin us know about the CPU!
  5. Hi Dave, If jonshaw_uk doesn't take it I know a mate who would - obviously I would pay for it and then give it to my mate to give you peace of mind. Cheers.

KLeweLOSS WARNING: very addictive multiplayer for those who haven't played it yet! Worth getting the 360 just for this! Story not as good as Halo but gameplay I reckon is better - not just running around and shooting. Halo 3 has a lot to live up to know this is out but I'm sure it will!
  7. I need another centre speaker and the rears if you would consider splitting?
  8. Didn't catch the numberplate, standard pinky reddy colour! Anyones on here?!
  9. I wasn't up there but thats where my Supra came from this May! Must be a group of Supra lovers up there!
  10. I just connected to Xbox Live - xbox 360 reported there was an unpdate for the xbox and if I didn't install the update I'd be booted off of live. Installed update and now if I go to the Video option on the Media tab I can now load videos off of a portable USB device such as a memeory stick and I can also connect to any PC running Media Centre OR Plain XP Pro/Home which you couldn't do before. Just wack files from your PC into a shared folder on your PC which is setup for you automatically (go to www.xbox.com/pcsetup and run the Media Connect installer - no windows validation req'd) and thats it - you PC shows on the xbox 360 and you can just load MP3s, WMA and WMV (all WMVs of any resolution including 720p, 1080i and 1080p) Full game mate - defo the best game out at the moment.
  11. Gears of War on Live = One of the best online gaming experiences I've had yet! Highly recommended
  12. Don't know if everyone knows this but a new update of the 360 Dashboard went live last week. It now allows to share videos from a pc and from a USB drive and play them directly on the xbox 360. I have set up sharing on my PC and I can share a HD video from my PC and the xbox will play it over the network and in 1080P too! No need to pay for that HD drive (unless it plays Blu-ray as I haven't read up on it), I just stick the DVD in the PC and it plays over network and looks very nice on my LCD in full DD 7.1 too. Anyone else tried this?
  13. Know what you mean - not even basic improvements in some ways - the playstion analogue sticks are as bad as when they first copied it from nintendo. Playstation 3 controllers have motion sensing though don't they?
  14. I found one under my passenger seat! These standard kit in Japan then? Beats the hell out of our red warning triagles we have over here!!
  15. I do yes, it exceeded my requirements/expectations nicely and wasn't a cheap piece of rubbish. I would suggest a demo of it before you bought it though, I have no idea if it would meet your expectations. In the end the decision is yours!
  16. Sorry mate, missed this reply somehow. Here's the seller! http://stores.ebay.co.uk/A-R-Trading_Car-Screens-DVD-Players_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ3QQftidZ2QQtZkm
  17. Fitted mine from eBay last night and seems I may have gotten lucky (hope these aren't final last words!!) The unit seems built very well, does not feel cheap at all - very heavy and looks very pleasing to the eye with the brushed Gunmetal front to it and all buttons have blue backlight. Looks as good as a pioneer or alpine on the outside. Installation easy enough if you have some electrical knowledge and unit has sooo many inputs and ouptputs - like the way it has separate remote outputs for subwoofer amplifiers and electric aerials. (i.e when you turn the unit on it turns your amps on but only extends your aerial if you are using the radio! clever) Using the unit: Push the source button as any other Headunit and unit springs to life very quickly. Push the open button and screen slides out smoothley and quietly. The screen quality is suprisingly good for a unit of this price - contrast is great and colours natural (all adjustable too), resolution looks almost indistinguishable from my PC monitor. Next is the interface. The interface is quite intuitive. If you touch the bottom or top of the screen, the display will tilt further in that direction. The left and right side of the screen adjust volume and touching the corner will bring up the touchscreen menu. Button lighting illuminates only when needed so glare doesn't get in the way of the screen. When closed the outside screen shows the current track, time etc and allows you to use all basic controls and adjust bass, fader and source etc, but fast forwarding is only accessible via touchscreen which can be a pain. Now the best bit - the unit will play just about EVERYTHING from ANYTHING! lol It plays DVDs, CDs, MP3s, DIVX, XVID, VCD, JPG, MPG, VOB... list goes on. It will read these files from DVD (any format bar DVD-RAM) CD and it also has a USB port on the back which interfaces with both my USB stick and my USB hard drive!! 160GB of music and video on the move! Put in a DVD with the complete Bottom serires In DVD quality DivX and played the lot. Verdict: If you want the absolute best I'd still say you get what you pay for - this will not beat an equivalent Alpine or Pioneer system obviously but for £300 its a bargain. Even so, the range of formats this device reads from and the range of codecs it supports such as both DivX and Xvid, MP3's at all bitrates puts it ahead of those brands anyway. Bored at work By The Way!!

    Sorry mate - its an XFX so overclocked as standard - comes with warranty that way - don't see why you couldn't overclock yours using coolbits but I have no idea how tolerable you card will be. What manufacturer built your board?
  19. I've got a unit being delivered to me from ebay, not the same model or seller as this one but I'll let you know whether it's any good or not!

    The game is wicked - been out for ages but never got round to completing it - think I was at the bit with the rotating bridge last time I played, which I guess is fairly near the beginning. Multiplayer mode did it mostly for me, fast paced yet realistic. Wire it into my 32" lcd through DVI and put it through my 5.1 setup. Looks and sounds Ace! - my pc seems to run it all smoothly - XP 4600+ 2GB Ram Overclocked GeForce 7900 GTO looks so much better than it does on X360 which is a shame for console users - but anyone played Gears of War yet? Got it on 360 but wish I could play it on PC - Better graphics and a mouse always better to aim with! (sorry - hijack)

    New Supra

    Definately be careful, only thing worse than crashing a Supra would be to crash it beofre you even get to enjoy it properly. Supra was my 1st rear wheel drive car I owned and the 1st Turbo car I owned so the whole driving experience as a whole was new to me. Luckily I have driven 2 of my dads corvettes and a Ferrari F355 at Silverstone so was not brand new to it all bar the fact I actually owned the Supra. Slowly break yourself in and gradually use more of the available power, especially at this time of year. You'll soon find the limits of your own abilities as well as the cars. Picked up mine this May and had a 180 mile trip myself - I was loving the experience so much I could have driven 1800 miles.. but the trip emptied my wallet at the 2nd fuel stop!! Enjoy it mate!
  22. PM'd - On girlfriends behalf I'll have you lot know!
  23. I thought it was just mine broken!! lol I'd like to know this too and haven't seen anything on MKIV.com Do some SLD units solve this problem?
  24. Where do you get your skills from too?? Nice chop mate!
