    sms joke :)

    my fave SMS was: Hello, this is VIDEO EZY. Just advising you that the movie you hired "Sex with an abnormaly small penis" is now overdue and the movie you requested " tantric sex with goats" is now available.

    Vista?

    yeah, ive never really looked into it. I got my very first playstation chipped and the funny thing was i never played a single burnt game on it ever, and sold it having never evert needed the chip in the first place, haha. Its all too hard for lazy people like me.

    Vista?

    my 360 is stock.. the only thing I have is that intercooler **** on the back of it... not because I had any heat problems, but just because i keep it in a confined entertainment unit, and above a 800WRMS HT amplifier and dont want it to die an early death. Apparently if you modify the 360 for...

    Vista?

    Mines the opposite... My PC is hooked up to 37inch hi def LCD... so sitting on the floor trying to manipulate a mouse and keyboard is kind of annoying... Maybe one day I will buy a monitor... And try finding a game other than flight simulator that runs in 1360x768 so that everything...

    Vista?

    Yeah, i been looking at performance benchmarks and vista compared to XP can be up to 90% slower on certain programs... For gaming, the difference is only about 3-8% but the biggest deal is that the stability and consistency isnt there, but that should be resolved in the next few months... after...

    CRS light blinking...

    Hey all! this may be coincidence but ever since the rain started here, almost every time i drive the CRS light is blinking. And not the loose wire "irregular" blinking, but a steady flashing, like its a warning light or something. Now, theres 2 things of interest here... Fristly...

    VN Engine - Signs of failed engine valves

    I did the rag test and came out fine.. didnt suck in, and it was blowing out which is a plus. Im thinking maybe a dogy injector... A few months ago I calibrated my flow rate so that my fuel used was within .5Litres of what went in the tank, but not its almost 2 litres out... if the car is...

    Are they really so ruff?

    I thought my idle was rough till i pulled up next to a worked v8 of some sort (valiant/mustang style). lumpy cams straight through exhaust... It was so loud that my car was shaking and his panels were all visibly vibrating... Was insane... i did my window up so i didnt get blasted as he...

    Insurance and an Alarm. My worst fear is someone will break into the car and NOT steal it. Haha, that way it pisses me off costs me money and not worth insurance. the alarm will make a deterrant, the insurance will cover me if someone nicks it, but a break in and damage is a pisser...

    What will happen is that if he has an accident and hurts someone, then his insurance wont pay out, the injured party will have no choice but to sue him for damages, and apart from obvious jail time, he will also need to declare bankruptcy, lose all his assets, and also have to live knowing that...

    V6 Best Oils/Fliuds

    Haha... my car went 6,000km without an oil change last month... I was panicking. I do oil and filter every 5,000km. (which is twice since september - 13,000km - phew)

    Ive been a fan of Penzoil for a long time, always seems to work well and last.

    Your computer specs??

    i think things have slowed down these days... I remember back when ATi and Nvidia changes their 3D cards monthly, and every time you looked it up, intel or AMD would have a new CPU out... Went from 400mhz to 1ghz very fast, then 1Ghz to 3ghz very fast, then just kind of stalled. Dual...

    Your computer specs??

    It wont really catch for another couple of months because the market really isnt ready for it just yet. Not many people have the need or the hardware to run it really well, and they dont really have a good reason to update yet. Give it a few weeks/months and once all the intensive dual core...

    Your computer specs??

    And some more RAM hopefully... I even think 1 gig is pushing it nowdays, just having windows XP and a couple of tray apps is enough to eat up 512mb and thats before loading any games up. How do you find it goes?

    Your computer specs??

    In the SLI reviews I have seen, in games like Fear or CoD2 there has been up to 70-80% increase in framerates.

    5L power output

    165 at the fly from factory, minus approx 30% drivetrain loss. Yeah, i know a V6 still sounds weak next to an 8, but its a hell of a lot better than a 4... Everytime a silvia or pulsar farts past me i cringe....

    Engine struggles under load

    I hate gearboxes. I especially hate when you pull out CV joints without remembering that gearbox oil will spill out on you when you are lying underneath... And i hate the smell that gearbox fluid leaves on you and in your nose that you cant get rid of..... not that im talking from...

    5L power output

    165kw... its laughable really... thats about on par with what? a new corolla? so a stock VN/VP V8 would have maybe 115-120kw at the wheels... I guess torque is the bonus, but still... mate had 184.5 at the front wheels on his old car, and that was a 4, so that makes what... about 210 at...

    just something small..

    Mobil is dodge... Ive always had nothing but problems with Mobil, even the synergy premium stuff. I wouldnt recommend it for my worst enemy's lawnmower. My VN loves Shell, either ULP or 98 premium.

    Heater tap - anyone know?

    Im not 100% sure, but i suspect that the heater works that when you turn the knob to cold it applies vaccuum to the tap to stop the heater valve from opening and keeps cold, but when you turn to hot it releases that vaccuum and allows the pressure of the water to flow through the heater, so if...

    Heater tap - anyone know?

    Well, good news, i got dirty and replaced the heater tap, and oil and filter, and flush and fill coolant. Car runs sweet now. Heater is nice and warm, and works - even though its a ford part. Oil is fresh penzzoil 15-40 so sits nicely in the engine. Car still seems to run warm, but...

    Brown Jelly

    Nah... the funniest bit was that i sold it for the same price I paid for it in good condition... haha... The least funny part is that some guy bought that "deathtrap" (and i dont use that term lightly) for his wife and kid to drive in... Oh wait... that is funny... Hahahahahahahaaaa!
