  1. Polished calipers? You. Are. Mental!
  2. Yep! Cars are for drivin' so that's what I do
  3. That was me! Was supposed to be getting my Cobra but it hadn't arrived. They were just putting some molyslip in for me . Meeerrrk - TGM are the nutz, do it!
  4. Someone kindly waved to me this morning in Fleet (well outskirts). I think it was a Silver import. I was still half asleep and in the excitement of getting a wave i sort of fumbled about accidentally hitting my hand on the steering wheel and not actually getting to wave back before you'd gone!
  5. That is a lovely example indeed! I'd have got one that colour if my last car wasn't the same. Perfect wheels for the Zed!
  6. I too prefer the BRZ. When these cars are more affordable 2nd hand I might get one myself.
  7. Does anyone have a set of these in silver? Or can any of the traders source them for a better price? £100 for 4 caps seems expensive! http://www.nengun.com/nismo/lm-gt4-center-caps Thanks in advance!
  8. Can the program you want to record run ok inside a virtual machine? The latest version of VirtualBox has a built in recorder which I tried recently and it's excellent and free! The best thing about it is, you can create a blank machine so that during your video you don't have all your app icons and so on all over the desktop. Only downside is, you need a copy of Windows to install on the machine (unless you use a Linux distro instead).
  9. Just remember if you have two cards you need enough power too. What wattage is your power supply rated at?
  10. The two PCI-Express ports are highlighted in red above. It sounds to me like you either need 1 new card that can support more than two monitors (I didn't think this could be done but Grundy thinks they can). This card can be Nvidia or ATI. or You fit two cheap ATI cards in Crossfire mode. I doubt the sound card is PCI-Express, most likely normal PCI. EDIT - Yes the white ones are regular PCI slots.
  11. That board should have 2 PCI-E connections: http://techreport.com/review/9328/asus-a8r-mvp-motherboard
  12. I thought grundys first suggestion was a replacement card (rather than adding a second card) so only having a single PCI express slot shouldn't be a problem. If I'm honest, I didn't know that with a card that has 3 or 4 ports could all be used at the same time though.
  13. Joking aside this actually looks awesome! Any of the gold coloured ones (on a blue car) just look too Impreza IMO.
  14. I have a 'Z' you can have. PM me your address.
  15. Final Fantasy 7 is the one everyone raves about although FF5 was also rereleased on PSX and is actually very good, perhaps the best non 3D FF. As for MGS, the remake for GameCube is the best one but quite rare so second hand it costs a few bob.
  16. Surely that's a members car? Looks good from the advert. Might be able to get a bit off the price. Someone will likely correct me but check the level of the lowering springs. I thought with the Eibachs you need to get some other bits to correct the geometry and that's not mentioned in the advert. Might cause uneven tyre wear. All of the main pictures are only of one side so check the other side for hidden damage maybe? Like the advert says, tasteful mods indeed.
  17. I just wanted to expand on this a bit. Sponges are crap, they induce swirls because any left over dirt on the surface (normally that you can't even see) gets trapped between the sponge and the top coat. When you push the sponge around these tiny bits of dirt create the swirls. Swirls are tiny scratches in the top coat which reflect the light at different angles to the rest of the unscratched paint, this is why the scratches can be more obvious under certain types of light. A wash mitt is designed to trap the dirt in its fibers instead, keeping them away from the paint to reduce the risk of inducing swirls. Some other stuff can also be done (such as the two bucket method, various pre-cleaners, eg, snow foam) to reduce the risk of the dirt in the first place and thus the likelihood of inducing swirl marks. All that being said, swirls will always come back! It doesn't matter how good you are or how much care you take, they will always return, it is inevitable. If you follow a good routine you'll definitely reduce the frequency and depth of the swirls making them easier to remove. I'd honestly be surprised if you needed to fully machine polish a whole car more often than once every two years.

    Wheel refurb

    Subscribed. Same wheels, same requirements!
  19. That's a yearly payment as well. Mine just ended but I got no value from it so didn't renew. Someone else just said hi
  20. Keep seeing the same Azure heading into Woking as I leave each evening about 5.30. Normally too close to each before I realise it's you to give you a wave....I'll try harder!
  21. Saw a fellow GM in Deepcut last night. I was about 4 cars behind trying to catch up but had a granddad taking the pee in front of me who I couldn't pass.
