  1. Have a look at portforward.com, which has specific instructions for just about every router in existence. This thread on my forum may also be useful to you.
  2. If you're using a router, you can significantly speed up torrent transfer speeds by enabling port forwarding on your router. Essentially, this means finding out what port your torrent client software uses, then setting up your router to forward all incoming traffic on that port directly to a designated computer (the one with your torrent client) on your network. Many of my forum users have seen a ten-fold increase in speed through doing this.

  4. In the end, I bought this nice bling one from Paul E. And a battery cover. http://www.just2good.co.uk/supra/dash220406/batteryAndTank.jpg http://www.just2good.co.uk/supra/dash220406/engineBling2.jpg

  7. While driving home yesterday at a few leptons above the 'recommended speed', I said to my wife: "Don't worry. I'm a very careful driver. I look a long way ahead... for coppers." She seemed to think this was highly amusing and hasn't stopped giggling since. I thought I was being serious.
  8. Hey Chipmunk Lookin' good. I thought you had a Razo shifter, but that one looks uncannily like the Levoc to me! I recently had my dash sprayed silver and I'm well chuffed with it. At night, you get a great glow from the dials reflected off the silver.
  9. Well, assuming that drivetrain loss of 25% on an auto is a reasonably good guess, you then need to work 'backwards'. So, divide your RWHP figure by 0.75 (this is basically saying that the RWHP figure is 75% of the FW figure) to get the FWHP. But in your case, the losses are less since you have a manual box. I've seen figures like 15% bandied about. So, 380/0.85 = 447. This is pretty close to the figure you quoted. But in the end, RWHP is what really counts, and FWHP is what you talk about in the pub. 380 RWHP seems very strong for hybrids at 1.1 bar!!
  10. No, it's sequential. Trust me, it doesn't feel as linear as it looks!
  11. Sorry for the long delay in getting the pics up. I've only just managed to get a replacement cable for my camera. So... Should I be worried about about the AFR?
  12. The trailer looks awful! I think I'll be giving this one a miss.
  13. Why does everyone want to recolour me?
  14. Cool, that's what I've used mine for. (Mine looks uncannily like speaker wire.) I haven't yet looked into how to use it for fault diagnosis.
  15. That's just genius! I may have to upgrade my white one.
  16. Unlucky. Rovers are great. My Rover Coupe has now done 110K miles, 60K of them mine. Aside from the cambelt change when I bought it, it's not had a single thing go wrong! Not even a bulb!
  17. Very few places in this country will restore chromes. Doing it properly is a long chemical process that can take weeks. When I had my chromes, Chromeworx was the only place I found that said they could definitely do the job and guaranteed the results. But it wasn't cheap. I only actually needed one wheel done, but then it would have stood out like a sore thumb. So in the end I decided to live with it, since it didn't really look too bad unless you looked really close.
  18. True enough. But I'm sure I'm already going senile. My wife brought the biggest chocolate cake ever into work today. My colleagues polished it off in no time... Top cake! It's amazing how much more popular you are when you have a big cake.
  19. Thank you! This is the first birthday where I can honestly say I'm starting to feel old. I'm still at work, but hoping to address that issue soon.
  20. Nice J-turn. You got skills!
