My PC isn't good enough to run it

It's 1080/30 on the Xbone. Def gonna pick this up when I get my console back, looks ace

No wait, I meant they look f*cking horrendous. Easy mistake to make.

I think they look quite good

Because secretly, we all want a Vauxhall. Luton FTW!

It all depends on what you are trying to achieve. If it's simply a higher top speed, then you need lots of power and some aero tweeks. If it's 0-60, lose some weight and grab some sticky tyres. If it's point-to-point, then do the same as 0-60 but sort the suspension and brakes out too. Performance means different things to different people. Personally I'm tired of having cars with mega horsepower that you cannot get anywhere near the potential of on country roads, and so I'd rather have something slower I can actually use but that handles well. Big power is fun, no denying that, but there are times when I wish my 911 had 100bhp less and shorter gearing so I could rev that gorgeous engine some more instead.

Same colour combo as my wheels: I think that would suit yours nicely mate.

So when the MS system works, it's actually brilliant. Spoke to a nice Oirish fella this morning after being on hold for no more than 10 secs, who then talked me through everything that had happened and apologised profusely, and who basically agreed that the first two people I spoke to were completely incompetent. I called at about 10:40 this morning, and he said that the new console might be with me by Weds at the latest, due to probably missing Fri shipping. Fair enough I thought, seems reasonable. Checked my emails tonight and have found that he managed to get it out at 7pm tonight, for delivery before 12pm on Monday. Now that's how it should work!

I really like that, good choice of colours and style

I hoped they were

:lol: I'll be interested to see how I find it compared with other stuff I've driven, might do a write up afterwards.

@Doc Agreed, but there's modified with an exhaust and a remap, and then there's modifying adding bigger turbos a la GTRs. One frees up a bit over the manufacturer safety limits, one adds horrendous amounts and costs a fortune to go with it. I'd still call them close enough as to not worry about it. Bizarre timing, as I'm going to look at an M6 on Sunday.

I always thought they did, then after seeing your post thought I should probably do some research Loads of vids here of them doing 200+, no idea what power they're putting out but none seem turbocharged or anything. Not conclusive proof obviously, but I suspect they can't all be wrong. These things seem awfully interesting all of a sudden...

I miss mine

Keep up mate

Genius! I remember when we converted my mate Stu's MR2 to turbo, and discovered near the end that we were missing a crucial bit of pipe that connected to the turbo. Two rubber couplings, four jubilee clips and half a can of WD40 and we were back on track, stayed like that for three years

Road noise is acceptable. If you can live with things like the 040s or 452s then you'll be fine with the 888s. Not as quiet as the MPSS by any means, but then it's a completely different type of tyre so shouldn't be expected to.

In theory I should've had my replacement console in 3-5 days after making the initial claim, which is more than fair enough, but I've only found this out now. Why the website still says the order is in progress, I've no idea. Maybe I've just been really unlucky.

And after speaking with Xbox support for the third time, it would appear that I've been lied to the first two times. My original request was cancelled almost immediately, so the two tw*ts I've spoken to previously have outright lied when they said it's in hand and that I'd been moved to the 'priority list'. I've now got to call Xbox UK and deal with them to get all this sh*t sorted out. I'm going to make a formal complaint over this, and apparently they do keep records of the text conversations so they can easily find out who said what. W*nkers. Seriously f*cked off with this now.

GLOL :lol:

Still not seen anything about the Ring sale

S'okay, no need to apologise for Apple's stance on their hardware.

Rev Lite connected for me on my iPhone5, however you need the full version to do anything meaningful with it. That was via wifi, though.

I did try "Xbox you stupid c***ing w*nkbiscuit sp*nkwhore!" on more than one occasion

Lol no worries mate, I didn't take it that way at all
