Fed up with noisy pc fan's and over heating??
psu and hdd can go in the oil too, so long as the hdd is a sealed unit anyway. Obviously shoving 240VAC into the oil makes things much more dangerous. And mike, if you want a quiet water pump then use an eheim, my 1048 is completely inaudible, unless of course you shove your ear right up to it.

Nice exhausts!
I guess that wins by a small margin but at least that whole car is extreme to match. Out of interest what event was that taken at? Must have been in '04 I guess 'cos ChrisC's car is there, but I see john newcomb's old car which I havent seen since '03 when he sold it :confused:

Some good 1/4 mile times....
and its pearl white so naturally its fast ;) More seriously, looks like he has some big high profile tyres on the back no doubt with low pressure, and looks like real squishy suspension set up for drag.

Revs misbehaving
Do what he said. But to me it sounds like the base idle is set too low on the control valve. Theres a screw on the side near the battery, adjust this to increase it. And shelton, the reaon for that is that when the a/c is on the auxilliary air valve is opened to increase rpm slightly and compensate for the drag of the compressor. If your car wont idle properly with the a/c turned off then there is something wrong with the idle control. Do as above and that should cure it.

cleaning calipers
I'd say you'll have a hard time with it. If I was going to do it, i'd fit the wire brush attachment to the drill and have a go at it with that.

Air Con - degassing, and Hicas confusion!
Dont breath it in and I guess itwould be fine. However be aware that if its the origonal R12 refrigerant then it contains some seriously nasty CFC's which are very bad for the environment.

Honest Adverts !!
If AOL can give you 2mb, than anyone can mate, BT decide what speed your line can handle, not the ISP.

Some Pictures Of My Car!
Looks nice. But for the love of god, take a step back so we can see the whole car ;) The wheels look nice, but can only see a little bit of one of them :p

Plastic strip thingy
the metal clips are on the back of the plastic strip. Mine was loose as hell so i stuck it on with prit pads. Only problem now is that its stuck on so well I think i'll have to break it to get it off again.

Who, on the forum would you like to meet?
hard to say seeing as i've met just about everyone off here many times. The only one who springs to mind is pk1, i'd like to meet him and take a look at his lovely yellow swb.

Big Wheels on standard suspension
being pedantic, i'd say its not a Mcpherson strut, the zed has all round multi-link suspension, the first road car to have this. Of course, I could be wrong, I dont claim to be an expert in this area.
-
2+2 rear seat space
possible, but VERY uncomfortable for the rear passenger and whoever is in front will have to be squoze up against the dash.

No Nissan 300ZX.
Supra no doubt about it, failing that an RX7.

New front - opinions please..
agreed, i might even add 'removal of z emblem' to my list of things to do as i think it clutters the front up a bit.
