    Swirl scratches

    Autoglym Super Resin polish is fantastic, it acts as a filler but if you want them removed and not masked ; you will need a machine polish by a detailer; mine here is done with the resin polish. it does greatly reduce the swirls http://s1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb469/clodola/Car%20Cleaned%2010%20April%202011/?albumview=slideshow
  2. I use tha Apexi AVCR ; allows the boost settings to be mapped against speed, throttle position, rpms, etc too
  3. One thing about Apple is the PR marketing is probably the best marketing in the world and is why they are where they are today. Apple has this image of the "Good Guy", alot of people just dont get all these Multinational companies are as cut throat as one another. Apple I like the hardware/interface but the software is crap, itunes, media box (itunes TV or what every its called); Apply strategy is all gearred towads emptying your wallet. Once you have there product be prepared to pay to use it, this has turned me completly off apple products The whole apple philosophy "no refunds" I cant stand, every chance they get they try to bill you and even to get an itunes account you still need to give them a credit card, which is just ridicolous. Apple = GREED; I have no issues paying a fair price for a product but Apple just want to bleed you dry. Over in Ireland if you can get a smart phone plan, say for 40 euro a month min, the same bandwidth, criteria in a Iphone is 60 a month min. You have to pay an extra 20 euro monthly for the same service because its an Iphone and a higher intial tarrif. Even when you have the phone apple want you to pay for updates, apps, everything ehh no thanks. So far for me Android is the clear choice, everything from Gmail to Google Music (upoload 30K plus free songs into the cloud), google maps, google navigation and all the other 1001 free apps in-between. Third part integration (PS3), and allowing third part's to integrate into the android framework allows great consumer choice. I do own an ipod touch for the car but definetly the new Samsung Galaxy Android tablet is a clear winner over the Ipad. You have to laugh, Apple bitch and moan about monopolys yet they have created one themselfs.
  4. Is this the South bend Kevlar clutch, south bend pressure plate? How long did you get out of it?
  5. They recommend running the cable inside the car , so minimise corrosion Just try and have a good insulation and keep it away from your speaker cables. You dont want any alternator wine
  6. Same happened to me, when I disturbed the dash the old solder gave up. I need to do the code 42 fix to by-pass the odo Buffer; I would try this first http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?72588-Code-42-Fix
  7. If you car is a Jspec Real simple. just undo the 2 nuts of the o2 sensor (think they are 12 mm); I would also recommend wd40 them and leave for 20mins before you try to undo them(makes life alot easier); just keep an eye on the gasket position so you know what way round to put the gasket on. Follow the loom from the 02 sensor and unplug. (be careful the plug clip can break easy, britle at this stage from years of heat but if it does not the end of the world, just use a tie wrap or insulation tape to secure it, it is a snug fit but no harm in being 110%) Should take you about 10-15 mins after you soak the nuts in wd40. I also used small tie wraps to secure the cable between to plug and the O2 sensor (stop it flapping about)
  8. Hi I am setting up a gallery to display a set of images on my Website(asp.net); I would like to use photobucket to host the images and just use a slide show to illustrate them. Example: http://s1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb469/clodola/EliteAutoCleanWorkShop/?albumview=slideshow I am using the photobucket embeded slide show in my ASP.net site but you cannot loop the slide show plus I would like to have the option of the smaller thumbnails as illustrated in the above link. Any idea's? Preferable I would like to upload the images to a folder and let the control dynamically pick-up the new images rather than me having to reference each image individually What do people normally use? thanks
  9. BBQ RULES We are entering the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity . When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion: Routine... (1) The woman buys the food. (2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert. (3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand. (4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman. Here comes the important part: (5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL. More routine... (6) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery. (7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat Important again: (8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN. More routine... (9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table. (10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes. And most important of all: (11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts. (12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed ' her night off ' and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women!
  10. Have a few stone chips annoying me, was thinking of using some Hammerite Black paint (aerosol) on the inner lower arch then sealing with Helicopter tape to prevent further chips Hammerite Black a good choice, Car is toyota black. Going to get it from Halfrauds

  19. Chris whats te benefit of having them re-valved to your spec over stock Bilstein setup ? Do these differ from TRD Bilstein, I know they have 3 height adjustments not too sure if non-trd versions do?
  20. The only way to test if the altenator is doing its job is to test the voltage across the battery when running

  22. Thanks for the confirmation dan; great to get real world feedback. The odd time I would like a 90+ db exhaust but 90% of the time its nice to hear yourself. I did change the exhaust before on my previous car and after 2 weeks, I hated it. Plus the police over here target you if it is above your normal DB. The exhaust where they hear you before they see you My only prerequisites so far are Ryan G and his Solaris S6GP -- just waiting to hear about the plug and play unit Whifbitz twin waste-gate kit -- Still between two minds for an external or plumbed-in wastegate Bosch 044 pump -- Want to keep it simple rather than running twin Walbro's I want to stay under the radar, I dont have any negative alterations with the police but if she is very loud constantly, you will get your colar felt. Suddenly your 5mph over the speedlimit threshold will disolve and you will be a target( by any means to get you off the road). I would like to stay under the radar, they only approach me to look at the car becasue they are interested in what it is; woud like to keep it that way
