Wow!

She sung about getting up in the morning, going to school and waiting for the weekend...

Then sung which day comes before and after each other...

Lyrical content = FAIL!

Was a good :laugh: though.

dont know how to break it to you man, but top gear is a TELEVISION SHOW!

it was designed to be commercial, an has been since episode 1. they have NEVER had any worthwhile technical info, and they never will as that wouldn't rate.

5th gear is even suckier. people who say it's the show for enthusiasts need their head examined.... it's just a second rate topgear, with an even more overtly gay presenter (although he is a much better driver)

and dont even start me on the other 2 homo's and the woman....

5th gear segments that dont involve tiff ALWAYS result in me changing the channel...

did you go see topgear live?

Their focus has changed from delivering car information to entertaining the general public with no knowledge of cars. When a woman or 10yr old kid say they enjoy watching Topgear you know that Topgear has lost the game. This was never the case a couple years ago. Proof of this is when ch9 purchased it because they saw the growing popularity amongst everyone, else it would have stayed on SBS as it has for many years.

Just watch any episodes from a couple years back, theres a reason why ch9 doesnt play any of the older episodes.

Unfortunately with all fads they will soon drop off. Gordon Ramsay, Bear Grylls and now Topgear. Look forward to 50% off Topgear merchandise at Target

I'd imagine their budget is ridiculously high, and without ratings they don't have shit. Technical info about cars that the audience can actually afford is boring as bat shit, which is exactly why it's not part of their show. Their tests and challenges are ridiculous for a reason, people enjoy watching that shit, which gives them the ratings and budget they need to keep going.

Just looked at 300rwkw R33 gtst (turbo is Blitz K5-660) goes pretty hard, in coming days I'll contact the mob who built it as the motor is forged (seen the receipts).

Noticed couple of things, there's a sensor on inlet pipe (next to BOV which is blocked) and pink label afm (it's R33 S2 and running on Power FC), hence my curiousity.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
