I bought a Asus transformer for uni last semester. Shouldn't have.

Zenbooks look the goods. But waiting to see some more Haswell ultrabooks come out before deciding. Touch screens seem nice for W8.

MBP is actually pretty good hardware for your $ (especially if student discount + sale, and I believe you can just upgrade ssd and ram yourself with little difficulty). Depends if you ceebs with the OS though. Trackpad etc is very good, too.

Samsung Series 7, 9 etc do look pretty good as well iirc.

If you want to use on the move get a 13 inch ultra book

Personally I'm looking to move to a Samsung ultra book myself

If you need more power/ screen than an ultra book at home get a tablet and a home system separate

And no idea why ppl think I travel much!!!!!

Hybrid tablet/laptop worth getting or more of a gimmick?

hmmm.... you guys think I'll be fine with stock breaks? 1 hard lap then 1 cool down lap in each run?

Think I might stick to deca this year before a tune and brake upgrade.

Stagea brakes the same, better or worse then the GTT? Also how much heavier is your car then mine

I had DBA slotted rotors and street pads and didn't have an issue. Street pads won't last long though

Also depends on the track, Winton not too brake heavy, where as Sandown is.

Dell make good shit and their customer service is awesome. Mine came with a slight scratch on the screen so they sent me a whole new package within a couple of days. Laptop has lasted me nearly 7 years now without a hitch, would def buy again. Even their desktops aren't a huge deal more than getting and building the parts yourself.

I used my laptop for gaming cause I specced the bugger out. That was back before laptops were known for gaming and a lot of CS players were surprised that someone was beating them from a Dell haha

My laptops a Dell XPS 15 L501x, specced it pretty decent a couple of years back so it's still half decent.

Core i7 Q740

6gb ram

Geforce GT435M 2gb

640gb hdd

1920x1080 screen

Found a 20% discount voucher online which got me Win7 Ultimate & extended warranty while keeping under budget ($1700)

Dells warranty and customer service is good but you're really best off getting an extended warranty. Have had 3 hard drives die on me, the current one they swapped from Western Digital to Toshiba though and it's still going strong. Also had the the power plug break on me a bunch of times, this is due to shitty design as it's only held on by 1 small screw attached to it by a small weak mounting point. Battery only just lasted longer than the 1 year battery warranty too :/. Apart from that though it's been pretty good. Dell parts are cheap & readily accessible(3rd party) after warranty runs out too.

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
