  1. So true. The same engine as a BMW 1 series and not even a proper M 1 series. (still love my b58 haha)
  2. I just think the s55 would have been a better base, a remap would take you over 500bhp.
  3. Looks stunning but as a BMW M140i owner with the B58 engine, I'm a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I love the B58 but was hoping for something a little more powerful with better tuning capabilities. Not much of an incentive to jump ship
  4. My rigs about a year old. i7 2600k clocked @ 4.6Ghz (water cooled), 8Gb DRR3, GTX 580, 120GB SSD HD & 1TB SATA HD and to round it off......on board sound Mainly play BF2 & 3
  5. BF2 claimed 600+ hours of my life. Let’s hope BF3 is worthy of the name
  6. I used enjoy cycling to work especially as most of it was off road. Shame my current job is so far away
  7. Another thing is that the vectra has just been insured, serviced, taxed and got 1 years MOT, so other than a bit of maintenance it would be good for a years use.
  8. The budget was 5k but circumstances change and I now have the budget of £0.00. I did have my sights set on a DC2 but this will have to wait till we purchase a bigger house
  9. Sod it I'm going to go for it. No point the car just sitting there and if the shame is too much then the car will go on ebay and I'll have to be a bit more patient. I think I'll give Abingdon a go unless someone else has a better suggestion?
  10. LOL that's what a work colleague just said to me Selling it and buying a rwd car would more than likely result in me buying a dog as I'd have limited funds to buy anything half decent. Stripping it is an idea though.
  11. With the recent arrival of my third child and are current house getting a bit cramped, my plans to buy a track car are taking a bit of a back seat at the moment. But sitting on my drive at the moment is a 2000 Vertra SXI which is surplus to requirements. Performance is pretty bad with 60 coming in at 11 seconds but she’s reliable and considering I have no track day experience would she be to slow/embarrassing to put round a track?
  12. So hot http://files.myopera.com/TaylorCole/albums/4777222/normal_NUP_141640_0760.JPG
  13. I feel for you, we got burgled 2 years ago. We went with ADT in the end and although they are expensive we'e not had any issues what so ever. We have a cat so needed a system which works on heat detection rather than movement.
  14. Classic BT. Switch to a company like BE which has their own LLU equipment in the exchange to avoid the BT IP profiles that put on their line to stop bottle necks at their exchanges.
  15. I’ve always wanted a Boarboel, but with 2 small kids I don’t think now is the right time. http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/boerboel.htm
  16. I just downloaded NavFree (free sat nav). Not had a chance to give it a proper test but looks good so far + it's free
  17. My advice to you would be buy some books and some CBTnuggets and home study. I've been in IT for 10 years and find CBTnuggets great. Also download http://www.vmware.com/products/server (free) and setup a test lab at home.
  18. Audi A6 for me but as Chris stated not the best load lugger due to the slanted rear window. But other than that a great car
  19. Where abouts in Surrey are you?
  20. I think I'm going to get out there and test drive both the DC2 and the MX5. Both look like safe bets if I can source a good one. Anyone owned a 200SX before?
  21. Is the handling going to be an issue on a NA supra? I’ve not driven a RWD car before (the shock)…..will I be missing out on the fun by going FWD or 4WD?
  22. The sole reason of getting this is to have fun, but at the same time I don't want have the slowest car there. Also must be road legal as my drive does not have the space for a trailer. I want to keep running cost to a minimum. I'm well aware that this is an expensive hobby but evo's and Impreza's seem like they could be money pits, so I think I’ll stay away from them. MR2 is not something I've considered.....NA or Turbo? Heard good things about the MX5 and everyone sings their praises on pistonheads so another car to consider.
  23. For less than 5k would it be reliable?
  24. With my limited budget I’ve narrowed my options down to two cars, the Honda Integra Type R DC2 and the Nissan 200SX S13/S14/S14a. I’ve never driven either so your input would be appreciated. Here’s the pro’s I think each car has. Integra Purpose built and ready to go? Reliable 200SX RWD Easier and cheaper to get performance gains What do you guys think?
