Advanced driving
Start with some IAM training it won't do you any harm! and in a few years you'll realise the differance especially when you sit in the passenger seat next to joe average driver. Do some performance driving training for arseing about in fast cars on a private track in summer.

Xbox 360 mod chips?
Im about to flash a mates as soon as I can get case open, I did my own after a guy kept ballsing it up. My motherboard has a VIA Chipset so I can plug the drive straight into my PCs sata connector. I havent bought any usb adapters or such to do the job. I go on XBox Live no troubles, and so does my brother. There updated firmwares i.e. 5.2 but Im just going to stick 3.3 on my mates as it works fine on mine.

HDMI cinema amp
It does upscale HDMI to 1080i. The problem I had is I wanted to change my 36" CRT Telly which had DTS and Doldy Digital Built in, to a LCD which was nicam stereo, lol. I had to get a home cinema system so I opted for that one

HDMI cinema amp
I found it hard to class these home cinema products as an amp I have just got one of these and I am pleased enough with it http://www.empiredirect.co.uk/content/products/details/index~modelcode~PAN-SCHT855.htm This one has a optical fiber in and also 2 phono in The other ones I looked at didnt seem to want anything to be plugged into them! I listened to a lower spec one than this also made by pioneer and had the same speaker setup and wattage and I was impressed so I bought the model that you could plug stuff into. I didnt really want tall boy speakers at the rear and also the price was a bonus as well.

Lost!
Channel 4 didnt want to pay the £800,000 per episode bill cos viewing went from nearly 5 million viewers to 1.1million so sky bought it, I was downloading it and the yanks never got past episode 6. We played catch up and now were all in limbo till febuary.

PS3 - price?
If you look on Ebay but not ebay UK you wil be suprised, Saw one go the other day for £380 with 3 games and an extra controler! £100 delivery but income tax would be a killer. p.s. they will be £425 when out in march

forza motorsport
Yep I too got forza the other week, brother picked it up for me for £8 second hand at gamestation, I think its the most realistic handling racer yet, but it has crashed everytime I have played it on my 360. Spent about half hour on it and mush have crashed 6 times :wack:
-
well its over
Looked at them the other day (linked from your post). Got one of these thismorning - http://www.empiredirect.co.uk/content/products/details/index~modelcode~SHA-LC42XD1E.htm 1080P Telly plus a black glass stand :) Pretty chuffed with it so far although I havent turned it on, lol. Ready for PS3 now, and you can buy them in black also ;) (don't tell the misus), lol
-
well its over
Yep kids seemed to enjoy themselves, I had a few nice little kips, lol just debating what time to get up, I fancy a 1080P Telly but a cheap one as its going on my credit card :rolleyes: silly I know but the sales are on and she will probably spend a fortune on unnecessary stuff :D .

Crap Fuel Consumption!
Put it this way - the dump valves were cheap ones :wack: I need to mess with them anyway as the car still occasionally stalls. I have read somewhere that a mines ecu will alter the timing etc throughout the rev range i.e. not just add more fuel when a higher boost is used?
-
Crap Fuel Consumption!
Cheers lads, its just that I had a few options, I could ditch my dump valves and go back to re-circs cos I'm sure thats whats leaking, or I could have put my UK ecu in for the winter (although I would still use v-power fuel). Would a stock UK ecu be ok for the odd blip of 12psi though? I will investigate the O2 sensors on datascan when I borrow my brothers laptop again, I will have to post up though cos I would'nt know a good reading from a bad one. :o :)

Crap Fuel Consumption!
Cars been off the road for 18 months but back driving it again now :) I never seem to recall it was as bad as it is now, car had Cat Back Exhaust and a Jim Wolf Filter. Now I have added a Mines ECU, lightened crank pulley, lightened flywheel and a bit of extra weight with the bodykit and stuff, lol. I have been bedding a new clutch in and only been on boost for a few seconds at a time at 12psi low setting with a Profec B ii, and that's a rare occasion (bad weather to blame :( ). 100 miles for £25 and I drive like a grandad, I have a suspect boost leak but Im too busy driving it now and havent had chance to have a propper look at it, would that be a major contributing factor? Or should I just know better by now? Cheers

Seen these... what'd ya think?
Bottom set!

oh dear
Chin up m8, at least you walked away, total shame on the car you gotta get it repaired though.
-
problem changing speed sensor,any suggestions?
Can't say for sure m8 but I think I removed mine with everything intact? Mines a 93 UK TT Manual, don't go mad with force though as the end may snap off.
