For gods sake don't hit the switch by accident, you'll cause havoc at the traffic lights!... clever stuff though, but you should have the Audio palying the Bond theme tune when the 00Z lights up, now that would be Cool!

Save you going to Blackpool next year....they can all come round your's instead! LOL

Respect for the dead! or respect for the living....wouldn't hurt over here for a few of the morons who take out Mothers with young children or old folk honed down because individuals old or young take no responsibility for there own actions. If it gets the message across that racing at speed in residential areas is a no go (or anywhere other than a track) then so be it. I know how i would feel if my wife was reversing out of the drive with nipper in the car only to meet a driver losing control at 150mph or anything like it and wiping them out....sensitivity to his corpse is not one of them. As for the 3rd party reporting the Jag is a new F-type with the roof ripped off, clearly is incorrect as the roof can be seen folded down, it is more likley that the impat of the crash threw him from the car and according to the hyped report, was only killed when his buddy racer decided to run over him without stopping....no honour amongst low life.

The more expensive the projector, the more you should spend on higher grade screens and even AV hardware to maximise the quality. your better off spending your money on a good quality 2D projector than compromising on an average 3D setup. The only advantage of a full HD projector is watching Blu-Ray content and even then you are often only gettting 3/4 resolution due to the black bars, as the original films were made for anamorphic projection (thats another option on HC products) 2:35.1 ratio. That said you will still achieve higher grade images than a 720P projector. Sky however only broadcast in 720P so they wil provide max res on either version. 3D on sky is only 310P per channel Left/right it's just the processing that makes the image appear so sharp. Steer well clear of the budget Electric screens they use cheap motors that will be unreliable and low grade fabrics that will ripple and fold in a short space of time. Good brands for relatively low money are Sapphire and even Optoma's OEM range are worth considering. At £800 your options for combination electric screen and PJ are not likely going to see new product especialy as your looking for an 8ft screen, but there are some good deals on Ex-demo kit you could consider to get close to your budget.

Depends on your budget?

Couldn't you have just used that Kick A** crane you've got there???.....nice lift though jealous as sin!

Forget using a projector as a super large screen TV they are not designed for the purpose unless you have control over your room lighting (daylight destroys colour saturation) There are bright projectors on the market with 1080P resolution which are marketed as semi commercial products (pubs, bars and abd businesses) where they can't get away from needing a brighter model, but thid will be at the sacrifice of colour and contrast saturation on the screen adn you will ose the detail processing that more expensive projectors provide. You actualy don't want a super bright projector for Home cinema, for the same reason the cinemas have low lighting is because the projectors are set up for high contrast and colour saturation along with high levels of pixel processing to give you decent viewing of HD and 3D signals. 3D is a dark art, for a start expect to lose up to 30% brightness on screen if it is a active (battery powered glasses) system, these are designed to work from one projector which should include it's own processor (Sony, JVC etc) however the cinema groups use dual processing which allows for passive glasses to be used so they provide less filtration and are lighter/cheaper. I have installed a number of systems where we use two projectors Left/Right channels and the Optoma 3D-XL processors which gives Passive 3D projection in relatively bright conditiosn (bars) but for home use we only specifiy 3D projectors with special surface screen which avoids the abboration which occurs on standard screens. There are some new products out that use the new fabric in electric screens and also a new dual surface technology on a fixed screen which has a 2D surface and a 3D surface that scrolls down over it. Forget a Dulux wall surface!!, it casues hotspots, glare and reduces the projectors contrast by up to 25%, if you want to paint a surface on a wall use a correct projection paint technology like the GOO systems products, which is available in different coverings, iv'e used this often in schools for there sports halls where they don't want a material surface or electric screen in use. Don't skimp on the screen if you buy a decent projector, otherwise your wasting half of the technology that gives you a great picture, equally if your introducing light to the environment then the screen becomes even more important. Audio is great but pointless if the picture looks c**p! A great picture will always over ride your senses for poor audio, not the other way around. Don't forget if you are running an 8ft " screen (width of Diagonal?) you would be pressed to get a stock lens model that will provide a throw distance over that range (18ft) so either look at a ceiling mount or a projector with optional lenses, although this is expensive and will limit you to availablity as there are few true home cinema models that have this option. Bare in mind the further you project from the screen the lower brightness and therefore colour saturation you will produce, add to this the issue of lighting, daylight and you probably will completely wash out your image. As for audio, you can get automated ceiling/ wall speakers that pivot out/down and run off triggers from the projectors or amplifiers, in-wall flush speakers that can be plasetred over or covered with fabric, prints etc or even speakers that can be fixed behind perforated screens giving that true direct audio feel that you get form the big cinema complexes. As for home cinema furniture, yes it's expensive, but then its built to last with solid frames comfortable cushioning and reliable motors for the laid back motion, but it's personal choice and the last thing on my list when specifiying cinema systems....personaly prefer a motion system like the crowson....makes the rumbles of a soundtrack come alive through your backside...Lol! Anyway, I hope this adds two peneth to your decision process and good luck with it you luck boy!! Man cave, I wish!!

make sure you save the link for future reference, otherwise there's only one way to solve this.....Fiiight

Look at zat, first ze steel ball stays in ze bottle.....unt now in my head!!!!!!! :wacko:

Think this thread needs restarting....feels like the Twilight Zone...Doo, Doo, Dooo. Do

I want a bit of a pull on the rear arch to match the front, always felt the rear was a little too smooth on the panel but I don't want to add on flares!

You can buy a half decent roller for around £100, check out ebay for a guide. I'm going to buy one as I am sure it will come in useful for other projects and fellow forumites. There are companies that will rent you one for £15-£20 so could also be an option.

If youv'e an engine that has had the EGR delete, then getting to the top three bolts on the Bell housing is easier, unless you have the extension tools to otherwise get at them the first pull maybe better with the box attached.

So may as well get the Ebay ones at half the price!

Mine has rotted so now removed, prefer the smooth, makes for a sleeker looking line, as I'm not keen on most I the aftermarket spoilers, prbabky change my mind in due course.

Was watching, but now all you ratbags have been tipped off......mind you untested, no returns?

Price is for the total number available 10 off & £189 = £1890.00..... and that ends the Maths lesson for today children! Lol. I'm sure a number of members on here have taken these ceramic versions without problem as they were based on the same moulds of the AMS units. Loads of politics behind who produced what, but they perform, supposedly as well but at half the price. One of the Ebay sellers had these on offer at £179 a couple of weeks back.

Cut it in half and count the rings!!!

Yeh! "snaps necks" in Laughter!!!! So 60K And he ran out of money for wheel spacer.....more revolting then reventon!

Happy Birthday Mikey...mmmmm caaake!

Sends a chill, when you here of those situations, not so much the brakes Being up to scratch, more your good road sense Rich, well done.

Ditto, less the bling bits...Brushed ally and chrome just don't work together

TT front bumper?

Thankfully it's not on our shores....dont think that front end is even legal here....sacriligous that is!

All that back pressure getting to the Loo!!!
