It's a bit off topic but i thought one of you guys could help.

All the items on my desktop are highlighted when they're not selected.

Take a look at the pic and you will see what i mean.

If anyone knows how to fix this please tell me.

Cheers

Your icons are not selected, your Desktop icons are locked.

To remove the background colour from around the text right-click your Desktop > Arrange Icons By > Lock Web Items on Desktop.

This should solve your issue.

tried it mate didn't work but thanks.

or it could be because you have desktop items on your desktop...

if you go to Display Properties --> Desktop -> Customize Desktop -> Web

do you have anything listed there? Are any of them ticked on?

went to that and it had my current home page listed and some other random thing. i deleted the other one and they were both unticked.

i ticked and unticked them but still didn't work.

any other ideas guys??

What OS are you running? WinXP?

What do you have as your background? A bmp?

Just to confirm if you go click on Customize Desktop

and go to the Web tab nothing in the webpages list is ticked on

and the Lock Desktop items box is also not ticked?

Maybe try changing your background image to a BMP is if isn't one already...

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

2. Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.

3. On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Performance.

4. Click to clear the Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop check box, click Apply, and then click OK two times.

5. Close Control Panel

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
