Thread split from old one due to offtopicness

Cheers, admin

Plus, yeah, give the public an idea of what the reality of what they're doing.

Yeah good one, and you actually write for a news paper? Quality English you have there. :)

Nonsense!

The only times I'll correct people on spelling and grammar:

A. The whole passage is an absolute nightmare to read.

B. It's a formal piece of writing.

C. They're correcting people on forum spelling/grammar but make a mistakes themselves. Example:

Yeah good one, and you actually write for a news paper? Quality English you have there. :P

Yeah, good one. And you actually write for a newspaper? Quality English you have there.

And before anyone has a go at me for starting a sentence with a conjunction, it's widely accepted as correct grammar these days in the right context - just look at this sentence.

Back to work/trolling.

I will never accept conjunctions at the beginning of sentences. It's just not cricket. I think it is like accepting 'txt' speak in school exams.

Here's your conical hat and there's the corner!

Don't dunce me you dunce. When used in conversational writing (particularly discussion/argument/debate), it's quite acceptable. Grammar is pretty subjective these days anyway - we only have hard and fast rules for the most basic stuff.

It's the editor's job to fix up spelling / punctuation - besides, this is an internet forum, not an Oxford dictionary.

Oh dear

Being dyslexic I have a lot of head ache trying to write something this simple, the thing that I get annoyed with is, internet worriers correcting every one when they them self can not get it right.

As pointed out already its a forum not a Oxford dictionary. Who cares as long as you can understand what is being said (clearly they can because they correct it)

Really at the end of the day when it comes too formal stuff its nobody else's concern as the only person that should have to worry about it is the original author.

Just my 2p

I love correcting my GF on spelling since she's dyslexic too lolz :)

TBQH this forum has some of the highest standards of spelling and grammar of any I've ever posted on. Usually any mistakes on my behalf are due to laziness or tiredness or stealth mod edits.

Ok, maybe I should not have said that sparking a completely off topic discussion.

So when Jeremy Clarkson says, "Some say................, and that..............., All we know is....

This is the same use of the word and, is it not?

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
