Thank f**k someone else takes my side on this argument. If it weren't for Apple fanatical (read: retarded mindless sheep) consumers and its admittedly clever and well used marketing hype; it wouldn't have gotten such a cult following. I know I've just opened a whole can of worms and expect replies contrary to this but oh wells.

Agreed Luke, brother inlaw as one and i rekon they're the most over rated things ever...Had an N95 nokia quite liked it now i've got a prepaid nokia that does everything the n95 did...But about to upgrade to a samsung thingo

Has anyone actually used Racechrono (For Symbian S60 mobiles) at Mallala yet. I ment to put it in someones car at the SAU:SA track day so i could test it against the proper timers, but i forgat and i only just learnt how to use it anyway.

They bitch and moan if someone takes the piss outta them, yet they have their "I'm a PC" ads, constantly take the piss outta MS (which shows me they are insecure) and MS just cops it on their chin. Sure MS isn't some squeaky clean company but atleast they can have a laugh at themselves

The thing stems from the whole 'cult of apple' where they used to use their allegiance to apple as a badge of honor against the 'totalitarianism of microsoft', which tbh was a good movement at the time. thing is, the ms cats have been spending quite a lot of money to improve their perception and have done so by modifying their products. Vista and 2008 office was a total f**kup, and they fixed a load of those issues with win 7 - I hated vista, but I LOVE win7, and I've never been an MS fanboy

MS have spent money to become more consumer friendly after all the antitrust stuff - they probably deserved to have been punished more than what they got, but thems the compromises - a government can no more cripple a software manufacturer it relies upon lest it cripple itself... thank the gods that apple hasnt been implemented as a govt standard.

I for one are happy with SELinux on RHEL and Fedora - much better to have live hdd encryption natively than having to pay big bucks to do the same thing from a proprietary company

Performance testing

With the Performance Testing feature, you can test your vehicle’s acceleration. You can select from various different tests, for example 0-100 km/h acceleration test and a quarter mile test. Remember not to try these tests on the public roads!

hahahahah nice disclaimer

Ive got the same thing on my iPhone, seems to actually have a hint of accuracy behind it. Ive also got one that tells you how good your brakes are (stopping distance, gforce etc) The power calculations seem to be around the ballpark too - within about 20rwkw of what the car actually pulled on a dyno.

Got off defect on South Road tonight.

McLovin it.

I have my standard exhaust on now, coilovers out so its very 4x4 spec atm & need a pair of new tires, regency wednesday 19th.

Can anyone help out with a pair of proxes4's?

Pfffft iPhone haters.

It set the benchmark for what phones should be like.

OS 4.0 has multitasking, etc. and that's released in June/July this year.

The funny thing is, the phone just works. None of this Nokia bullshit where it restarts once a week. I had a n95 for 2 years and couldn't wait to see the end of it. The n97 or whatever their touch phone attempt is, is pathetic. Laggy as all f**k. iPhone never lags or freezes or randomly reboots. It just works.

Boo hoo about no Flash on your phone. I haven't encountered a single website that I needed flash to look at. What do you all do? Watch .swf movies on your phone?

Windows Mobile is rubbish. I also had a Samsung Omnia running Windows Mobile but it's not designed to be used without a stylus, so it reders it useless.

Blackberry's are a better phone for a corporate environment, though.

i think not, i dont know anyone with an iphone (jailbroken or not) that isnt crashy and/or laggy... admittedly mine is a 3G so its slower with new apps.

+1 for blackberry in a corporate environment... i know of a fair few companies that wont allow iPhones on the network. an iphone is not a business tool... its a toy

too many hoops to jump thru to make an iphone do what i want, and not look like complete ass. so android it the way to go,

Odd - my iPhone (3G) has never been crashy, laggy or had issues. Mine is non-jailbroken (to the amusement of all my IT work collegues). I also only have about 6 apps installed. I typically use it for phone, SMS, email and the occasional eBook. It does all I need it to, and well. Better than any WM-based phone I've ever used (and I've used more than a few).

i have an iphone 3gs 32g thing is jammed packed full of music, movies, apps & games im up too like 27gb worth of crap on there and still runs like brand new! never had a problem with it...only tim it did was when i tryed to jailbreak it & it shit itself, but it does say do that at your own risk and you will encounter problems...

probably the biggest frustration i have with the iphone is there is a known problem with the chipset on my pc and connection of apple devices via usb.... has been known for ages and it prolly wont get fixed... oh well, im off to greener pastures

I've got a non jailbroken 3G with only about 1GB free, got heaps of apps etc and it simply doesn't crash. To this date I haven't found a website which won't load on it (Im posting on it right now infact). I can even log in to my outlook account remotely with a FULL Microsoft interface. Also people say they are fragile, I've run out of fingers to count how many times it's been dropped/squashed etc and it's fine. I broke the screen on brand new high end nokia in 2 weeks.

I managed to get iPhone working with our Exchange 2003 server a few weeks back. Literally took me about 2 weeks to get working. Such a head f**k!!! So many configuration settings on the server end that have to be performed.

But once it works, it works quite well.

In saying that, I implimented a Blackberry server for e-mail purposes in my last position and that worked so much easier/better than the iPhone.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
