After reading a whole bunch of comments i would like to add this: Do you your research and you will discover that the iphone 5 is an S3 with apple stickers on it. Apple paid samsung to use their internals. Not to mention that the new screen technology is also owned by samsung. I'm not an Apple hater by all means but a company that sues another company because "If you squint and look from this angle it kind of looks like our product". Apple have the same issue many different companies are falling into. Same shit different smell. They don't innovate anymore. They match the current best product on the market, slap their OS on it and go "ours is better buy it" and people do. Also if you have been following apple/the news lately you will see that last week their shares droped 20% in one week. I think that shows that people are getting sick of the same thing over and over. Apple was dead when steve resigned.

iPhone 5 isn't quite S3 with Apple stickers, but thats almost what I was looking for: a S3 that was smaller, but didn't sacrifice power.

Processor in the new iPhone is a custom Apple design manufactured by Samsung, not a Samsung processor. Screens were all Samsung, now I think Samsung have been cut back, and its mostly LG and Sharp supplying screens.

All these wankers who think their iPhone is better than all the other phones are deluded. But they're pretty much a copycat of everything else now, which is scary. After years of offering phones that were based on 2-3 year old hardware, they've finally made something current. Imagine if they keep this up and do finally make something better?

Or maybe Samsung et al could realise that not everyone after a good, powerful phone wants a 5" screen, and start making smaller phones that don't suck more than Lindsay Lohan.

Yeah, I really can't go back to a smaller screen after having an S3. The size isn't even a problem 99% of the time. Plus, it's waaaay better for reading/browsing as you don't have to zoom as much, and you can hold the phone a reasonable distance from your face without squinting.

Seriously, phones have gone this way for a reason. Our needs are changing.

Battery life is horse shit however.

Thats fine, but my point is that not everyone needs the bigger screen. I have a tablet, why do I need a phone with a big screen as well?

Surely smaller screens need less power too?

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
