  1. Need a decent bodyshop to go to in the Peterborough area. Any recommendations? Price is not an issue, but the finished quality will be (I'm not paying for it;))
  2. Had a bit of a prang (not my fault for once), need the part urgently as I can't actually open the door... Any ideas on where I could source the part (the other party has offered to pay rather than go through insurance as it was a friend who did it)? Need it in Gunmetal Grey for a 96TT Import. Thanks
  3. Yeah I am really tempted, hopefully I can swing it so I can keep my existing job too too help pay for the course and give me some money to spend!
  4. Goes really well with JD tho....
  5. Yup there is an option to top is up to degree level. Would be something I'd consider depending on how I get on with the FD. TBH already have a Law degree, didnt do very well as it bored the sh*t out of me, but was one of those "your dad had work really hard so you can have this opportunity" scenarios so I felt obliged to complete it. Just fancied trying something that actually interests me....
  6. Thanks, I had a few mates who di Video Production/Film degrees and have struggled to get jobs. Most were told to start in the industry then go off and get the qualification... Think I best do some more research on the course....
  7. Course is at Wolverhampton University. Anybody know anyone or have any experience with this type of course? My main concern is that it'll be one of courses that you won't really have needed to do to get a job in that industry. So i'm just looking to see if anyone has any idea or advice as to whther it owuld be a waste of time...
  8. Gotta be "Fuel" by Metallica for me, especially as i've got an auto. Timing it so the kickdown kicks in just as the guitars starts...
  9. Cool, nice looking supe, was a bit hesitant to park near it incase I was overshadowed lol
  10. Parked near a red supe? If so that was me!
  11. Gotta admit Evile were a nice surprise discovery for me. Looking forward to "Priest Fest" as well (mainly for Testament and a bit of the 'Deth!)
  12. Yeah Megadeth are awesome, shame "Risk" wasn't lol Go on Dave get back on the heroin!
  13. It's not GnR anymore, just the Axl Rose appreciation society... Still, it's better than "Risk" by Megadeth lol
  14. That snare is a work of evil, altho thankfully you don't seem to hear it as much when they play live. Part of me gets the impression that it's Lars way of saying "See I can still drum like the old days, now you can all here me!"
  15. I've pre-ordered the special box set. Heard a few tracks on metallica.com. We wanted a thrash album, they've done a thrash album!
  16. I have had the LEDs changed to blue recently. I've disconnected and reconnected the orange connectors from the unit and the white box. Doesn't seem to have helped. Is this a common thing people find when they have the blue LED conversion done?
  17. OK I'm gonna try to keep this simple... Switched the car on the other day, all lights light up as normal. Press the switch to have the air blown into my face... nothing. Try to switch the air to be blown on to my feet... nothing. Press the switch to have air blown on the windscreen, all systems kicked in as usual. Tried to adjust the fan speed to its lowest setting, worked OK, but when i tried to tuen the fan speed up again... nothing. By this point I had resorted to "Push all buttons till something happens" When I turned on the heated rear screen, the AC kicked in (just as if id pressed the AC button). When I turned the heat above 25, the auto climate control kicked in, the fans turned off and the enitire top row of lighs came on... I've checked the fuses, the connections both in the back of the unit and going into the White box brian contol unit thingy. All OK. Is there anywhere else I should check? Any ideas as to what the prob could be. I'm bruddy annoyed as I've only had the car back a week after it being off the road while it went BPU and having the blue dash conversion (so I'm really hoping i dont need a new unit) I've had a look at some similar issues on the forum, but none of them seem to have the unit being confused as to what the buttons should do when pressed. It does actually seem that the heated rear screen button is now turning my air con on...
  18. how 'bout Fast as f**k? or If could fist your mum.... (just so people will say "who are you going to see tonihgt?" "I'm going to se.....") ... I'll go away now
  19. Saw them @ Download 06 when they playes MOP in full. Orioin was amazing, full version with james, rob and kirk stood on a platform above Lars, amazing! Their show @ Wembley last year was amazing, just to see the bands reaction to the crowds singing at the end of "Memory Remains" I think St.Anger would have been an amzaing breakthrough album for an up and coming band, but not for Metallica's return to the studio... I've heard Death Magnetic is supposed to bridge the gap between Justice and Black and I really hope it does.
  20. Hi all. Right I've read all the guides, got most of the bits to go BPU. However, I'm having a "discussions" with my mates over whether I should go down the FCD route or go full out new ECU and re-mapping. I'm not intending to do many mods once BPU is finished, however my mate has chastised me countless times for thinking of going down the FCD route. My current thinking ATM is to go with the FCD and save up for a new ECU and re-mapping. Does this seem the best option? BTW my mate who is nagging me is running an S13, which he has had re-mapped (which I understand is to be considerably cheaper than having the same process carried out on a Supra) and is kicking out around 260-280 bhp (which he won't ahut up about). Any advice (even if its just an argument to shut my mate up) would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
  21. Dropping the price of these now to £160 each. I'll take payment via paypal if anyone out there is interested...

    Ironman

    If you stay to the end of the film credits (and like a saddo I did), you get rewarded with a nice little cameo with Sam L Jackson, hinting at an Avengers movie....
  23. Cool, thanks guys. SOLD!
  24. Could try doing what I do atm. Run a £250 13 year old Nova for those daily trips to work and use the beast for weekends etc...
