Bond for my money. Saw Casino Royale yesterday, best Bond movie in ages. I had my doubts about Daniel Craig as Bond but he is awesome, no more Brosnan crap! Back to basics was cool I reckon, very few gadgets, no Q, no Bond Theme music ( till right near the end )..... the move was better for it.

My thoughts exactly Rod. Back to basics Bond was awesome! No more saving the World from being blown up sh|te.

If you want to gadgets, go see a Matthew Broderick movie.

I would have liked to see the DBS a bit longer but all the recent Bond movies have had the car destroyed within 60 secs of driving.

With such a legendary and excelent name as James, im gonna have to go Bond.

who can say no to fast cars, action packed life, the entire british governmont behind u, an unlimited supply of $$$ pretty much, n all those glamours godamn ... some ppl have it so hard i tell ya, so damn hard ...

Bond is undoubtedly cooler.

Better cars, hotter women, and in several films, it was alluded that he had a 3-way. Did Jack ever accomplish the bedroom trifecta? I think not!

By this acheivement alone, Bond wins.

But factor in that when Jack takes a beating, he wakes up in some gutter or warehouse facility. In octopussy (and various other movies) when bond gets KO'd (usually be a suprise 'judo chop' from behind) he wakes up being cared for by a dozen or so nubile young lovelies.

Scantily clad young stunners > hospital/warehouse.

And finally, Bond drinks like a fish.

So he get's pissed, drives like a maniac, chases women whenever he can, ignores authority and often pruposely opposes it, understands cricket, can shoot can't seem to do much in the kitchen without burning stuff down, and the Yanks think he has a weird accent.

Hell, Bond could be an Aussie.

we all know that Bond is cooler/sexier/classier/what not... but if it comes down to it, I'd want Jack watching my back - I'm all for shoot first/ask questions later...

besides I get to drive an Aston Martin in January as a Christmas present (YAY! *hopes for a vanquish s* :P), so Bond isn't soo special anymore :O

Hell, Bond could be an Aussie.

he was - George Lazenby... and he was the worst one to date...

I refuse to accept George Lazenby as an Aussie. He was shit as Bond, and married the chick. A definate no-no for Bond.

Marriage = no more 3 ways. (well, presumably anyway.) therefore Bond should batch it a while longer.

It's funny though, anyone who spent more than three days of their formative years in Australia, we adopt (or if they're cool and a kiwi) but if they screw up too bad, we never knew em.

Mel Gibson, Nicole Kidman, Russel Crowe...

Imagine Rusty as Bond! I can just see Q giving him the 'mobile phone of death' or villians slipping him a 'beat random people' drug.

Actually, it'd be pretty funny.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
