Not me, I'm out for turbo doll hairs $. If someone buys my GS for the right price will jump into an STI for something different.

Harrop chargers are so nice though :) same deal with their brakes etc. big doll hairs but good performance

When you consider how much 88E has ramped up (50%) in just a couple of weeks based off fairly expected news announcements, you have to believe that with a joint venture or buy up deal on the table this thing would go from cents to dollars in a matter of days

Had my Dell laptop for over a week now. Had so many issues with it out of the box.

- Selecting Standby in the start menu would shutdown the laptop (fixed)

- Selecting Shutdown would put in standby (fixed)

- Laptop hangs at the Starting Windows page only when restarting (im still trying to fix this...)

- Laptop takes same time to boot as my old laptop, which was a f**king lean machine once I'd tampered with it, but pretty poor form.

- Has AMD gfx card, but doesnt use it for anything (fixed, had to install AMD drivers and software then specifically assign programs to the secondary gfx card)

- comes with two sets of audio and two sets of wireless software/drivers, but uninstalling the unused ones disables the device completely. dont make no sense.

- a whole bunch of other shit that I've fixed but have forgotten.

 

I'm contemplating a clean install, but worry will cause more issues than fix. Especially since it doesnt have a DVD drive built in and Dell supplied all the backup drivers and OS on DVDs. yay.

Clean install win 10 brah.

All of that is just software related issues / bloatware 

ive removed a lot of the bloatware.

Also, has to be win7. I need to put the Zoltan unit on win7 too, it runs like a pig with win10.

Dell sounds like a great choice..........

it never was a good choice. But its what the boss wanted, and he's paying for it.

Edit: oh yeah, tried to use the laptop on a TV last weekend, f**king no audio through HDMI. HDMI/TV not listed as a device. Has something to do with the Intel inbuilt graphics drivers.

And also that stupid Dell Audio software. Turn off artifical sound enhancements, then when you close the window it turns them back on again. And theres no fix for it. It uses Realtek drivers, but if you uninstall Dell Audio then the sound stops working. FFS.

yeah used to be easier, was basicly a mobo perm attached to a screen.

but you could swap HDD/cpu/ram/Graphics.

 

now it's pretty well all onboard so what you see is it.

but makes them significantly thinner and lighter but less fixable.

 

 

Shame you can't just build laptops like you can PCs...or can you?
this is why I wanted a metabox. Standardised chassis, pick your components and they set it all up for you. Then you know exactly what you're getting and can save money by removing shit you're never going to use... Like Bluetooth.

This is the way Dell used to operate, to a degree

I picked every component in my Inspiron 12 years ago...sound card, gpu, cpu, screen type, hdd size and speed, ram speed and size, bluetooth, wifi (when it was an option), minimal bloatware. Back in those days they gave you a myriad of options to choose from and it wasn't vastly more than the cost of building things yourself. I remember the equivalent spec laptop from HP/Lenovo/Acer was 3k+ and my Dell came in just over 2k.

Not likely, but you can always disable your bluetooth controller anyway. 

If you like our company can set up your laptop for $200ex / hour.

Also nice gif, good movie.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
