damn.. cant find a blutooth adaptop anywhere for obd1

would this work to relay the signals to the android app?

OBD connector to usb - usb to usb adapter - then your usb data cable to phone

or something like this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/High-Quality-micro-USB-USB-Female-Cable-USB-OTG-N900-/190507971718?pt=AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item2c5b28f486

not sure you can but why do you want to? you can get it to delete the email but not mark as read

personally myself i use windows live mail for hotmail and sort emails by conversation to all duplicate subject email get put into a bank then i can select the last email from that conversation and visit thread the right click and select all press delete and then its all good

Haven't justified buying a SSD yet given the amount I don't use the computer.

So I picked up a $100 Seagate Momentus XT 500gb. Damn its made an impressive difference to how windows boots, shuts down and generally runs. Noticeably smoother.

Recommended for those who'd rather sink $$ in to something else than a computer but want a smoother running less crunching/clunky computer. :) All though an extra $100 will grab an SSD these days. :P

Yeah I am going to pick up a couple of Momentus soon too .... I currently have 2 x 64Gb SSDs as my Windows and Program files drives (non-RAIDed), and whilst the speed is great, every time I need to load a file off one of my storage drives the pause is unbearable. It is not a huge pause, but with a hybrid drive I would buy 2 and mirror raid them - that way I could fit my Win7 install, program files and current Torrent data on the 'one' drive, which I think would be significantly faster than my setup is now.

Have you done any read/write tests Joel?

I'm not sure benchmarks are going to show how these drives perform. They only have 4G SSD which the drive stores regularly accessed data. From what I have read all writes go to the mechanical side. So things like random reads etc may not be that great unless they are run several times over. I'll see if I can find the article where I read this.

EDIT: here it is

Edited by Race__24

^^ yeah i half did that upgrade i have a Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 $139 and a i7 2600k $330 and 8gb of gskill sniper ram 1333 $69

it is a lot more faster to boot into windows now and i only have blue and green WD drives both 7200rpm

i will look into SSD one day just not really sure what route i should take

    • Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 馃
    • If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.
    • And we shall have to presume that Canada is the same?
    • In the US almost everything is E10. It can't exceed 10% by much or fuel systems have trouble adapting. At the same time because MTBE, MMT, and TEL are all banned they need as much ethanol in it as possible to boost octane.
    • I was mostly jesting. In my experience (and probably only my experience) the R34 GTT physical airbox space is actually too small to flow the amount of power it wanted. By sealing the box, I made it so it could only be fed by the ducts themselves. So you can seal it up and get nice cold air which IS good, but at a certain crossover point: More Hot Air > Less Cold Air I don't think you're at this point. In my case merely ducting the hot air intake with a very focused set of ducts counteracts the fact it's in a V8 engine bay. More cold air obviously best. The solution looks great.
