My brother has had to return his 360 a second time after having it die on him after about 4 or so months of ownership. He 'got it fixed' and it lasted for another week before the second break down. He would be able to play the machine for about 5 minutes before it would either come up with a system error or just shut down and flash red lights around the power button. Poor value! :(

yep got one of those the other week... hadn't been having any problems but was a little alarmed by the egg frying temperature of the disks when taken out after a couple of hours playing... its just 3 fans that bolt on the back... seems to extract a lot more air... or I am just a ricer at heart

My brother was considering getting one of those intercoolers before his 360 carked it for the second time. I know someone else with a 360 who hasn't had any issues with it what so ever but he's only a casual gamer so maybe he hasn't played it enough to find the gremlins in the system yet.

Man, i want one of these but i want to mod, does any1 know if i buy one @ K-Mart or Target, they will swap it if it breaks down or do they send away for repairs too?

Actually wouldnt u just be able to re-flash the original firmware back onto it before it went back??

Any1 got a direct link on where to order the cooler? Im an avid gamer and my systems tend to be run days on end :cheers:

You have to open up the console to flash the firmware, when you open the console, you void your warrenty.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
