be careful, ebay Exedy's aren't all legit. we had an Exedy rep come in after some dude brought in a car that had shattered its pressure plate, to be told that it was a replica or someshit.

anyone know much about macs in here

got a mac desktop about 1 yr old i think

turn it on, it boots up to a white screen with "FILE" in the middle and does nothing else

it reported some error the other day, the owner doesnt remember what it said

and it was working fine, then came home to locked up mac, rebooted it and it boots to white screen with "FILE" in the middle

im guessing toast hdd ? any other ideas or tricks ?

Oh its a Mac?

May I suggest a large Hammer, maybe 18-20oz or so and see if that fixes the problem

if it's a mac running OSX 10, then press f8 during boot at the white screen, use the help command to find what boot switches you can use. verbose boot usually tells you where it's falling over.

it's exactly like unix, same diagnostic procedure.

Shutup.

I'm coming to the charity cruise in an ml320 lol

make sure you don't roll it by trying to drive it while you fish the tabouleh out of your bumbag.

What's funny about that?

They're wasting their time braking to check it out?

It's turbo alex.. Had a few calls. All time wasters asking if I wanna swap for their commos

Check the price on ebay... then head over to your closest Supercheap Auto/Autobarnz and they should be able to price beat ;)

which would be a great idea if we pricematched with the Internet. Cept we don't.

Price matching applies to local business only. And part must be identical.

    • 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.
