That sucks...... did you get details for insurance or did they do a runner?

I know the feeling though, my front bar's had so many scrapes and dings out of it, I finally decided to pull it off, sand + bog it and repaint it...... but it's gonna look like total SHITE. To top it off I ran out of paint this afternoon and the shop I use isn't open til Monday, so it looks like I'll be riding my bike to work for the first half of this week!

runner :geek:

maybe it was brizzyrocker :geek:

lol, it was a mistake man, comon now please i dont wana be known as the hit and guy run for the rest of my life :P

n john(yaface) what sorta damage are you lookin at?

col if the idea is small and touch i'm not going to be able to do anything like that HP.

But I'll see what touch screen shit is around and how small a case i can find...

*waits for touch jokes

Nah don't worry about touch shit i'm not goin to go out of my way to have a touch screen lol it was just something I spotted in the Harvey Norman catalogue.

@Dave that is a cool set up. I can always hook up the tower or my old laptop to my tv if the mood strikes.

@John: I don't think I will be able to make it this week :geek: Mum's birthday.

Will shit all over that HP, but no touch and it will take up a little more room. Although that is using the smallest case I could find. No keyboard or mouse in that shit either - do you need them?

You can shave a bit of cost off if necessary with either a smaller hard drive, windows home edition, or a less powerful video card.

that sounds pretty svveet Martin. Yeah I decided against the HP, just gunna save up a couple of months n then build one at least then I'll get everything I want.

Yeah its not a bad rig at all. If you want to be able to overclock it well but, you'll need to get more expensive ram and a CPU cooler. Factor another couple of hundred there. But really theres no need to overclock it, it'll be f**king fast OOTB.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
