speedo not working
Is it a UK or a Jap Z? Jap Z tend to have a speed converter on them to change KPH to MPH. If this fails the speedo stops working and usually the goes hard. I think if its the speed sensor, the ignition light flashes 12 times or something. It could also be just the speed is old. My one died. Take it apart and resolder all the old joints and it usually works. I am the only person I know of that it didnt :( If you can tell us if any thing happens to the steering and if its a UK or Jap Z it will help us help you. ;) Stuart

2Fast 2Furious trailer
Yeah I believed that he did buy a R34, because he loved the whole street rece thing. But apparaently he bought it straight from Japan already highly done up which is not what it is all about is it? I know that Vin Diesel does porduce stuff. He is actually an award winning producer, writer and director. Stuart

favourite or fan?
No not really. DaveW is a Liverpool fan though. I went watching them in the Super European Cup Final in Monaco. :D But I won it as a prize :p I dont think that Liverpool will win. They are a very poor team at the moment dispite suposidley having good players. But its football and anything can happen. Stuart

2Fast 2Furious trailer
The first on wasnt great. Scenes where short and often pointless. 10 second races lasted 2 minutes. People do not turn their engines off straight away after a race. Derrrrr! Surpa went from a burnt out wreck to fully running 600bhp car with a new spray job in just a week or so. I think some one better take them to GPS and show them cars that have been worked on for months, or PPS where you have to wait months just to book it in and then the months for the job to be done. I think its just gonna be the same old stuff. It was different when it came out but it will be old school by the time the 2nd comes out, but I believe that hords of Corsa, Pug and Saxo boys will still take their girlfriends to see it, (If thier girlfrends are old enouh ;)) which will make it a success. If Vin Diesel wasnt in the first, it wouldnt have done well. He is a great actor and I hope that he isnt stereo typed into those sort of macho roles. I think he is making a chameo appearance. At the very end of the credits we see Dom driving through Mexico in another Dogde Charger, and that would be a perfect story line to follow. But no, we follow Paul Walker. I have seen the cars too. Nice but just the same old crap of they just look good. Stuart

paint it?
Have you looked into getting just the chips fixed? A good job will make it so you cant tell thats its been done. It should be a lot cheaper and will keep the original paint. There is also an American site like this at http://www.twinturbo.net But personally I think its got a little too big and you lose the personal touch unless you are on there 24/7. Your posts will get lost in the hords of others and you are quickly forgotten. Try it anyways, and welcome to our home :D Stuart

How accurate is your speedo?
What about cars where the speedo is over 12 years old using 80's technology and had over 100,000 miles of use on it. Its bound to effect it. The traction control system has a logging section which shows the speed of each wheel, which will be better because its electronically done by timing the pulses and not on current flow. Stuart

FACK!!!! I wanna KILL something!!!!
Sorry to hear about it mate. He was probably pissed as a fart, and just cos it was in Grimsby 2 years ago doesnt mean they could have been here from Grismby. Years ago a gypsy truck wrecked a Sierra Cosworth me any my dad was in and the truck drives off while my dads on the phone to the police and said shall he follow. They said no stay where he is. The turn up 3 hours later and say the truck is registered to some downsouth. Knowing that the scrubbers where living on a local park we told them where they where and they didnt want to know. Stuart

Do we see too much of the war?
I will watch the coverage on Al-Jazeera of Iraqi soilders shooting and mortering Iraqi civilians. I will watch on Al-Jazeera coverage of Iraqi soilders grabbing children to hide behind. I will Al-Jazeera information of US and British soilders being exicuted. I will watch past footage on Al-Jazeera about Sadam using Chemical Weapons on his own people after the first Gulf War. No TV station can show everything. Al-Jazeera is an Arab station and shows what the Arabs want to see and that is people suffering in market places, regardless of that it was an Iraqi missile that went wrong. Will ask these teenagers who have pieced eyes and tongues because its fasionable, and most probably vegitarian because its fasionable (How many keep it up after year, very few), who have or want tatoos, because its fasionable, what they feel about the war and you hear the same old story, usually the ones they heard from their freinds. They havent made their own minds up. Dont presume that all kids are as open minded as your probably are how ever old they are. :confused: But you learn that a vast majority of school children just do things for the sake of doing it. Every day I hear stories from my mum, sister and girlfriend Cath about kids and you can tell what type of person they are. The same ones doing the fasionable thing even though they get into trouble but still do it because they want to look "cool". and these where the ones that left. However I do believe there are people that age who I think know enough to make thier own minds up they may go and protest or they may not. I doubt they will jump infront of the TV camera shouting and screaming like the children they are. Very true. I heard from a US jouralist about that and he said that the US press is very naive. OK lets make kids programs more realistic. Lets have people on Biker Grove actually having sex, its not illegal providing they are 16 and thus not imorral and loads of under 16 year olds do it anyway, why not show kids. Would you let your kids watch? Lets put microphones in the stands where people swear every other word, so instead of hearing commentry you will hear things like, "Brakes that ****ing fouling bastards twating legs off!". Would you allow your children listen to that? I wouldnt. But its not illegal and not immoral and it happens to every football ground in this country. Again to you Glen. Im not having a go at you. This is a world where parents have less time to look over thier children (Not having a go at any one here. No one has time to watch their children 24/7). If the above examples where allowed you would be frightened to for your child to be watching and with an age where most have a TV in thier room, there is very little we can do. That is why there are rule that dont allow things like sex to be shown on childrens programming, or try the best to filter out swearing at football matches. However, these rules at the moment doesnt seem to be appying to the news. I am not saying its effecting me, I am more bothered about younger children. I can remember loads of times I asked something when I was younger and was told, "I will tell you when your are older" and it was forgotten until I was told or worked it out. However when you see a dead body on the news and your asked "Why is he dead?" what can you say? How do you explain to a child the act of war and reason for war? Again. Im not having ago at people this is how I see it. Show it later. They dont have to show buildings blowing up while I am trying to have my tea, or when kids are home from school. Do it later after the watershed where things like that are shown if its a TV program and not the news. Stuart

Do we see too much of the war?
Considering its on every night and every night we see pictures of battles and all war type things, but should we really see this? I must admit that I am fixed to my screen watching it but is this what we want our childeren to see. We know a lot of details of where our troups are and how they are going. If the Iraqi inteligence doesnt know where the forces are, just tune to BBC online and they will know exaclty where they are. Also I think that the news people are looking into Iraqi deaths too much. Dont forget that these reporters are taken to places to visit, and most of them will be staged, such as hospitals with "civilian" casuties and yet after the reports are alone say they could see uniforms hidden under sheets and pillows. In the first 2 nights we all saw pictures of a baby "bady hurt because of bombing" when their whole house collapsed when a bomb went off, and yet mum, dad and about 4 other family members could be seen by the bed without a scratch. Which means they where not in the house and baby was alone, or it was all bull and the the baby was probably just hurt some other unrelated way. We are just giving people who are not for the reasons of this war more ammo to argue with. We all know that people die during wars. We know inoccent people die its the most horrific point of wars, but do we need to hear about every little detail where Iriqis die? I think I would be happier with news casts with out having to see battles going on and seeing buildings being blown up by missles. Take for example these school kids "protesting" against the war. They are really too young to understand what this war is about. Do you think they watched the news for the 9 months before leading up to this? Do they remember the 1991 conflict and what that was about? They just see whats on TV and are too young to understand or are unwilling to understand. So what you think? Is the war shown on TV in too much detail? In the Arab world they are showing people blown in pieces, thank god we dont see that. Stuart

What is the next best upgrade
I dont know. All I know is for an MOT pre 1992 (Including K Reg) are allowed to remove the Cats if the original spec has them. After them any car who has Cats on when it leaves the factory has to have the cars on by law. I not heard anything else, but I know loads of people who have taken them off and not failed MOT. I know there is a visual test to see the cats are there, but thats the good thing about decatting. The pipes look like they have them in. Stuart

What is the next best upgrade
I agree but be prepaired to pay some money. If you up the boost, you will need a new chip to run is safely. If your clutch is stock it wont last very long. It you have an auto you should be OK but any more than this and you are looking for strenghtend autobox. If you just want a little more ooph try decatting you down pipes, but this is illegal in 1992+ cars. Stuart

Any one watching the England match
I agree Rooney played well but he didnt really shine. The only person who shone was the Turkey goalkeeper.

Any one watching the England match
The 2nd half was great, but they play like that once in every blue moon. Last year England played 15 internationals and won 5. They won 33% of the matches. Is that the standard we expect? This season we have played 5 and won 2, which includes a draw against Macedonia, I mean come on, Macedonia, and a loss against Australia. The other is a draw against Portugal and even though every one thinks they are great, they are not. They have 2 class players. Figo and Rui Costa every one else is crap. Stuart

How accurate is your speedo?
Upto 30mph its good enough. Once my speedo said 100mph and my GPS said 91. Stuart
