This is where the cost of a Tax accountant that knows what they are doing outweighs the costs   FYI $300/h

It's no Hard Kandy Episode 2, but one of my favourites nonetheless

At least Hard Kandy Episode 2 was mastered properly

Honestly that decision was the pinnacle of phaggotry

nah it's more like windows 7 than 8 IMO, enterprise editions can't upgrade either - you can download the upgrade from Microsoft website if you don't have the notification, that's what I did.

I've got whatever version came with my laptop... I got the notification to 'reserve my copy' of 10 just haven't got the next one to say it's downloaded and ready to install

I skipped over ME and skipped over Vista... everything else has been getting progressively better as it goes.

I don't understand people saying that they don't like 8 and 8.1, yes its a big visual change to the Start Menu... but you how often do you actually spend in the Start Menu each day? If it's anything more than 60 seconds over the entire day, you're doing it wrong.

For me I do the logical things:

Pin commonly used programs to the task bar so they're just one click away.

Right click on the task bar -> Properties -> Always launch to desktop

If I need to launch a program that isn't pinned, I tap the windows key on my keyboard, type the first few letters of the program then hit enter... I'm in the start menu for a whole 2 seconds... Please, tell me how that's impeding on my productivity in a negitive way.

I don't get why people are acting like it's a "Tablet OS"... No, it's not... it's the same old desktop that you've used for years, they've just changed a few UI elements to make them touch friendly if you want to hang out in the start menu / those apps all the time. 100% not what you'll be doing if you want to be productive on a PC.

I might be technically inept here

But windows 8 loads up by default not my desktop but the stupid tablet GUI I don't want to know about. How do I make it start up on the desktop so I don't have to click away the tablet shit? Also do not have an easy to access shut down button - must alt F4 my way out.

And just the whole treating everything as an app thing is a dumbing down science that Apple started for idiots who don't know what a program is and can't deal with the complexity of multiple executables for that program or...application...as we called it in our day.

It definitely does compromise for tablets so they can cross platform it - case in point, desktops don't need any of that tablet UI shizzle.

Mine opens to desktop, didn't do anything to make it do that just thought it was the norm as always.

Shit like the calculator etc piss me off.. calculator used to open as a small window, so you could use it while probably calculating shit which was probably on your screen... Now it opens as a f**kin full screen 'app'. Brilliant idea.

Just had a look at it, you can 'split left' and 'split right', so you make it take up half the screen vertically... Shit like that is a pointless 'upgrade' and a step backwards. Not everything needs to be changed for something to be upgraded

on a laggy connection I loath the interface with a passion.

on a local machine it's fine.

but had more bad experiences than good.

I wish ECU's were clear-cut, black & white decision :( making a choice is annoying.

Just ask what everyone else likes then do the opposite.

It's what you will end up doing anyway, why not cut out the middle man?

Haha you psychic. Someone is talking me into some UK 4-cyl specialised shit. Cheaper than most standalones too.

What's so hard Leroy? You drive a Pulsar so basic is what you need: Nistune!

      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.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
