  1. If only nine people have actually complained to Apple, then that's all they can report. No doubting there's more, but if people will complaint to the internet first...!
  2. No, it's in addition to. Couple that with the front under brace and the two rear ones (not shown, I assume they're still available) and you willbe astounded at the transformation to the car.
  3. Hideous.
  4. You could always just buy a normal pan and add the baffles yourself, easy enough job to do. Do you get the extremes in G force in drifting that you do on track? I appreciate you're sliding a lot, but once the car has settled force will be minimum. Transitions are supposed to be smooth (I think, please correct me here!), so G force changes again shouldn't be massive. Usually people get pickup problems when they buy a regular car, then chuck stiff suspension and super sticky tyres on, then go tracking. With slippy tyres in drifting, I would imagine you'd be miles from trouble.
  5. Reviews out today, 8s and 9s so far, very promising Just need to finish AC4 before next week now!
  6. As your first time tracking the Zed, I wouldnt. You'll learn more about the car on tyres that allow the car to move around more. Plus, stickier tyres mean more speed, which means you put more heat into the brakes, which are the weakest point of a standard Zed
  7. DO NOT CHANGE THE COOLANT!!! Seriously, it'll be absolutely fine. Who on earth gave you that nugget of advice? If it's a cool day, you can probably safely run 20mins at a time, but if you were super hard on your brakes then you might not even manage 5 mins. It's all about being sensible, and listening to what the car is telling you.
  8. What speeds?
  9. Pulling away in 3rd is not the way to test a clutch: No wonder it stunk afterwards! Put it in 4th at 30mph and floor it, that's the way to test for slippage. Standard car will be absolutely fine, just check its mechanically sound. With just a fortnight to go, now isn't the time to be making any changes really.
  10. Beautiful Very jealous fella, please keep us updated with how you get on with it.
  11. My 6+ case came today, so I now know how utterly moronic I'll look using it as a phone.
  12. Until you can plug your charger lead in either way up, I'm saying they are :p
  13. I can only go off my own experience, which was changing an air to air intercooled system to a water to air one, which involved removed about a metre of pipework. Throttle response was massively increased, even on a small system like that. You're not just pushing along what's in the pipe, you're compressing it. To compress it means that you have to add more into the same size space, which if the pump (turbo) size doesn't change then it must take longer. Whilst a rear mounted turbo may well be acceptable for people coming from big turbos who are used to having large boost thresholds, they're just not for me. Each to their own though, as always What's that middle car? That looks amazing!
  14. S Line AND 19" wheels? I hope you have a good chiropractor Congrats matey, I love the look of the A5 so will be very interested to see how you get on with it

    97 is absolutely fine, so you can take it to the red line as often as you want. Any damage will have been done by the previous owner.
  16. Nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
  17. No argument there! Regarding Apple making a non-standard lead, you do realise that it's actually superior to mUSB? Try putting an mUSB cable in your phone in the dark: It's 50/50 as to which way round it goes, so invariably there's some fumbling. With the Lightning connector, it makes no difference which makes life a lot easier. Lightning also supports a higher power capacity than mUSB (12w to 9w). USB Type C isn't ready yet, and will require that everyone buys new adaptors and accessories et al, so the exact same criticisms can be labelled at that then.
  18. I wouldn't say sitting down is heavy handed though.... Depends on how they're sitting. We have no idea what trade they work in, what trousers, was anything else in the pocket, did the damage actually occur during use etc. I agree, it's not great, but context is everything.
  19. Shock news, thin aluminium device is able to be bent by someone being heavy handed with it.
  20. The only place on the entire interweb that 'fact' appears? Right here on this forum! Yeah, I'm sad enough to have checked. Sounds like something The Onion would put up.
  21. That's why I mentioned OO. Rule out any issues with the files themselves.
  22. Can you open the files in Open Office?
  23. Best chat up line ever
  24. Lucky sod! I admit, iTunes isn't the be all and end all, but once you understand how it works and just let it get on with it, it's absolutely fine. I have all my music running from a NAS, with a single iTunes library that updates from either my PC or Jo's iMac. It accepts stuff from my iTunes account or hers, ripped CDs, or dodgy stuff I get from the interweb. Was it a faff setting it up? Yes, but only because I was trying to force it to do something that it wasn't designed for. Once I figured that out, and guided it on its way, it was more than happy. Half the trouble with moving from Windows/Linux stuff to Apple stuff is that you're so used to bodging everything, that you can't accept that there's a program that has s singular way of doing things. I used to love telling Win where to install stuff, as I wanted it in specific places to make my life easier. I can't do that with Apple stuff so easily, so it's best just to let it do its own thing and then you find it's actually a terrific piece of software.
  25. Well, it was one of those things that sent my bullsh*t alarm ringing loudly, so I had a quick google and couldn't find anything remotely related to that at all. Hence the lol smiley as it sounds like one of those awful made up bits of propaganda you see on FB and the like.
