Erratic speedo
This happened to me too. However it was actually my speedo which was at fault. It is horrific going through speed cameras, as you can judge your speed quite well with the revs, but you are still unsure when you see a Gatso coming up. Stuart

Vectra 2.5 V6
Vauxhalls are the most deprectiaed (spelling;)) car in the UK. You can buy a new Astra for £12,500. You can buy a A1 3 year old Astra for £5,000. The Vectra's are not much better either. Stuart

Digital TV Quality.
Am I the only person who thinks that Digital TV quality is horrid? My girlfriend had cable and watching any channel I could see squares on the screen like when you compress a JPEG too much. Watching football you can see flickering squares around the players and the ball. The pitch would be shown in only 3 shades of green like on a bad football computer game and you can see the join where the different shades join. The grass would have not detail on it untill the camera stops in the same place for 4 or 5 seconds. For people who know about how it works, it actually uses information from the previous picture to create the next image. So when you see a football moving through the air, the image of the football is most probably about 5 frames old but its just moved it slightly and chaged the size and position. I remember watching a travel program and there was a shot of of a field as they went past on a train, and the picture was just filled with large squares of different shades of green. Now she has Sky its better but not by much. Does any one else notice the terrible quality of Digital TV? Stuart

Right who has the largest?
Thing with Plasma screens, they work simalar to LCD screens, but use gas instead of liquid. If so its hard to get screen burn on them as if you do, leave the screen off for a few days will clear it. Thats what happens to my LCD. I remember on my Mega Drive it said never play it on a rear projector, as pausing the game could cause screen burn as the colours are more intense on a computer game over anologue TV. Stuart

Sorry my bad. MAC has more than that. I dont think the search thing goes through ALL of the old forums including quite a few temp ones when the indexes kept going tits up.

Skid under braking?
You should hear the ABS kicking in. Even it is on a loose road surface, the ABS should try to stop the skid. Any error in the ABS and the light should come on. Does the bulb work? Does the ABS light come on with the ignition? Stuart

Film bloopers you noticed
The RX-7 was originally going to be a 300ZX but they they picked the cars on looks alone and on 300ZX owner is tacky enough to put stickers all over it and neon light under ;) If you watch the special features on the DVD, there is a section with a computer animation of the street race. Dom's car is a 300ZX. beermonster: Films with a Z so far I have seen are, Teen Agent, Time Cop, The Pimp :eek: I didnt see it but apparently it was the pimps car and played a big part in the film. There have been others but I cant remember them now. Stuart

Film bloopers you noticed
Return of the Jedi, there is a part in the huge battle in space when the Rebels shoot down a super star destroyer and it crashes into the death star. Turn the volume up when you see the Rebels cheering and Admiral Acbar sits back in his chair. Just before the scene changes you hear some one shout "Die Dick Head" Its on the original ones and on the Special Edition ones. Stuart

decat
If the turbos leak, after decatting, they where going to start leaking quite soon anyway. I have heard stories about the turbos leaking weeks after decatting, but I dont know any one on this forum who had any problems. Every one I know I know are fine. For the turbo replacement, some places take the engine out, some dont. Some people use it as an excuse to up rate their turbos :D Stuart

Importing from the US:any pitfalls?
With spoilers like that you dont need to buy one from a Z shop. They are all universal. There must be loads of places in this country who sell spoilers like that. Stuart

They wont blow up turbos. They MAY cause them to leak oil. Stuart

Body Work !
I think most Z rear bumpers cater for 2 pipes, becuase if they only catered for 1 they would cut their number of potential of customers right down. A good body shop would have little problem blanking off one side of the bumper. Stuart

Ajay posted about Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes error with the feet and scateboard it was running on. Tell us any errors like that you noticed. What film and where abouts. On Fast And The Furious, near the end when the Supra is after the 2 bikes, there is a shot looking up the road and you see the bikes jump over the brow of the hill. You can see the ramps they go over to actually make the jump. Stuart
