  1. Some places like maplins etc .... sell little connector blocks made especially for splicing cables. I've used them many times before. You place the existing cable and the new one side by side in the block, close it over then crimp in down with pliers. Then as said above heatshrink or tape over to ensure its water tight.
  2. Hello and welcome. As people have already said check your tyres. Don't mean to sound patronizing but you shouldn't be gunning it in the rain anyway. If some idiot wants to go bombing past with water on the road let him, it'll be his car in the ditch if he hits a patch of standing water. Remember you've got summer/sport tyres on as well, so they aren't the best in the wet.
  3. Spot on with the "i worked hard so don't care" bit. I've worked hard and driven some horrible cars the last ten years so sod them!!! I'm not to sure many people think "flash git" but i would defiantly say they think you have a fair bit of cash. But as said above my neighbours Focus and Volvo costs the same or a little than the Zed. I'm an electrician, but never go into a job thinking i could squeeze more cash out of someone just because of what car/house they have. Can't speak for everyone thou!! Apart from the exceptions, i feel if someone has a nice house or car its generally because they look after their money or work hard themselves, so are unlikely to be mugged off so easy!
  4. Nice one buudy!!! Bet your well happy! Have you got any sound clips of that exhaust yet? been really mulling over that or the milltek but can't decide.
  5. Good job mate, very clear and easy to follow guide and pic heavy
  6. Hi and welcome As others have said it can run on 95, but best to use 98 or better. If your pushing for new tyres from them ,which you should, just make sure they match them. The dealer will nearly always try to fob you off with budget tyres. Just don't let them give you crap rubber.
  7. Hello and welcome Look forward to seeing this project build. Don't forget to keep posting your progress.
  8. That's ridiculous! as you said how can they think that would be a good idea?! especially in the US, land of the over zealous lawyer.
  9. They dont say it slows the phone down. You need to read this - http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ TBH I wouldnt be bothered if everyone dropped Flash like a turd - its crap and it itself slow I can see from your profile that you work in the computer industry, so you obviously have far more knowledge than me when it comes to the in's and out's of how flash works, but i've never had a problem in day to day use of using the web nor has anybody else i know. I can understand from a more in depth use such as programming, web design etc that flash would be more of a problem but how many people actually use their phones for such things? Again you are more knowledgable than me so i may well stand very corrected!!
  10. Who are you referring too as a troll?
  11. I'm not too sure its better than any Android phone. I've got the Desire HD and while its not to everybodys taste because of the size, its certainly no worse than the Iphone. Its been superseded by the Sensation now i believe. The HD is very quick and does almost everything the Iphone does and in certain areas more. If Apple doesn't like using Flash because they say is slows the phone down, then the top of the range Android phones must be super-computers in disguise because the ones i've seen are quick. Apple certainly have the upper hand in the marketing stakes, just look at how many pawns/customers they have queueing up pay more than they need on monthly tariffs and high handsets costs just to have the latest best handset the world has ever seen or ever will see. Until the next iphone comes out, in 6 months.
  12. An excess in Switzerland for a Corvette must be backside clenching There didn't look to be much warning judging by the vid in the PH link - if the repair crew were in that location and hadn't moved on.... Could you point me to the link of the vid? i couldn't see it. Thanks.
  13. No i wasn't there unfortuantly, only got my car on the 19th of august i think it was, so just missed it. I was also working the whole time the Jockland hoon was on so missed that too I really want to get to some of these meets, especially some of the bigger ones. Would be good to get some faces to names!
  14. Ha Ha got to love to cheap rigs, if it works it races!! As i said i got quite into my sims so got me a sweet little set-up for quite cheap the only issue is storage. I got a chair out of an astra coupe for £15 from scrappy. Used sone steel conduit i got from work to mount my wheel and hey presto a cheap setup. It works real well. The most expensive part was the wheel. Had a crappy one for a while then decided to treat myself to this bad boy.... http://www.fanatec.de/html/index.php?id=230 Amazing wheel. With those pedals its brilliant. Expensive but brilliant. Give IRacing a try, and let me know how you get on, or if you need any pointers. Cheers, Lionel.
