I got the EEE 901. Upgraded it to a 2gig ram memory stick, removed the slow 8gb secondard ssd and replaced it with an uber fast 32gb ssd. chucked an sdhc class 6, 16gb SD card in the card reader. Wireless bluetooth mouse, wireless bluetooth via my sony ericsson k850i to the net, usb DVT-B decoder... bloody love it

am running fedora linux on the 4gb ssd, windows xp home on the 32gb ssd and i have the 16gb card for media storage... 48 gigs of media avail to windows

not bad considering its got no moving parts. being turned on in a skyline aint gonna kill it heh

the only thing I wish I had was a touchscreen. would be uber. you can get kits but im not quite prepared to disassemble the eee...

this is the 10.1 inch aspire one there is a 8.9 inch version but after looking at other 8.9 inch net books they are too small for me (as it is it's taking ages to type even with this one cos of my fat fingers).

This is the D250 version which i have had the RAM upgraded to 2Gb, it has a 160Gb hard drive and a 1.6GHz processor. all the small net books run the same intel N270 processor, the reason in when for the D250 over the D150 is most of the specs are higher, the RAM is upgradable (standard they came with 1Gb) and they have bluetooth standard as well and it's <$100 between the two anyway. i paid $668 with a LITEON duel layer external DVD burner included.

i will get a 16Gb SD card for it and put all most of my stuff on that, that'll be next week though asi ahve just bought a 9 cell battery for it because the standard 3 cell one is lucky to last 3 hours.

I wanted something small for uni as well as Data logging at the track and eventually i'll run some lipstick cameras to it as well.

man... i hate when books i enjoy (and books that have good potential for the big screen) always turn into garbage movies.

sure, as a rule, movies are never as good, someone elses interpretation of the story is never as good as youre own.

but deleting entire characters and subplots then turning the finale completely on its head... whats with that?

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
