Insurance - how are you guys getting it so cheap!?
Worth calling Carole Nash for their classic policy, but they may get a bit bothered about some of the mods, they seem to add about 10% per non-standard alteration.

Misplaced technology/terminology ...
I just noticed at work that we have a new microwave in the kitchen after the old one mysteriously went titsup.com immediately after one of those electrical safety tests that seems to happen every few months now. Anyway, it is labelled as a 'widescreen'. Now to be honest, compared with a 4:3 tv the door is of approx widescreen dimensions, but this is a door with a window not a tv screen, so wtf are they thinking ? It always annoys me that everything from a food mixer to a vacuum cleaner claims to have a turbo in it too. Any other dumb examples that come to mind ?

I kinda get what you're saying, I think, but all cylinders don't fire simultaneously.

empty roads
That's an old bike trick, plate on hinges, anything more than about 50mph it's horizontal.

Anyone going to Duffs from down south?
Well I'm about 80% of the way there now .... Might be able to arrange some complicated plenum transfer between multiple parties on 7th June if you've not got it by then.

Not at home unfortunately, so I don't have my box of old chips with me.

difference between uk ttecu and jap tt ecu
In terms of the actual ECU, nothing, but the maps will be a little different. Although, I have seen maps with the same serial number on the chip that allegedly come from both UK and Jap cars.

Poor Poor Poor Old ?
Hahah, blame Drogba, if he hadn't been so keen on punching people in the face then he wouldn't have got sent off and JT wouldn't have had to take the penalty.

painting rocker covers.
They don't get that hot. Looks like they've been polished, I'd sandblast them if I were going to paint them, gives a nice key for the paint.

wear on inside edges of front tyres
Almost certainly caused by camber, unless you have too much toe out.

Insurance renual time :(
The car is too niche for any of the comparison sites, you need to talk to a specialist broker.

What Temp does your car run at ?
84 deg C, according to the ECU (not the dash gauge) with all standard rad etc. On a long thrash back from Le Mans it was touching 100 deg, but it was a seriously hot day.

Just checking before I buy again!
I don't use a Road Angel, but a years speed camera updates for my TomTom, which are updated weekly now I think, costs less than £20.

Worlds slowest laptop
In your first post you said it already had XP :confused: Anyway, all you need to do is boot from the XP cd and follow the install instructions - it will trash everything that is already on there, so make sure you save anything you want to keep.
