Why on earth would you need that much power...sounds awfully close to F1 kw/kg territory

no mention on the fact the chassis was cut up and rewelded to new dimensions to pass au kit car rules.

 

or the fact I don;t think it has finished a track day without blowing something up.

have seen in the pits a few times years back and closer it gets the scarier it gets...

 

Dezz when you are installing windows 10 make sure you delete all your existing partitions on your hard drive, then create a new partition for the full size (it'll be empty) then install on that.

(Probably self explanatory & do it anyway just checking you're doing it right and not installing over the top or 'upgradeing')

It's a lot of money for an experience... And that's about it.
Again, would go for a Caterham. At least they are proper registerable and the duratec/zetec motors are known quantities with info and spares.

Probably wouldn't have done what you just said actually... Left it downloading over night and didn't check it before work this morning.. Can I still do the partition now or do I need to start again? Laptop was wiped and windows 8 reinstalled, I've only put shit like utorrent and ipvanish on it so far..

Would give a 620r a solid go.

It will wipe what ever is on the hard drive currently, so you boot from windows 10 usb stick > install windows > custom / advanced > you'll see your hard disk and it's partitions, delete them all so it's empty, unformatted, then click new > accept the default size (it'll be max hdd size > click on your new partition > install > wait 30 mins > done 

You now have fresh windows 10 install with no other crap left over from windows 8 etc. Laptop will be faster, better stronger.

There'll be a youtube video somewhere of it surely, but my instructions should be good enough

f**k lots of steps involved.. Think I just upgraded when I first went to 10.. But laptop is pretty much empty at the moment so I guess I'll do it... I think the os is automatically installed on the SSD and the sata drive is just for everything else and porn...
I'll read your instructions when I'm at home and not balancing on the edge of a switchboard.

It's pretty easy, and it's worth while doing a 'fresh' install over just an upgrade.

Yeah install OS on the SSD ofcourse, you can add/format the Sata drive in later for your porn in windows disk manager

If I do this partition shit will I still be able to install 10? Was under the impression it scanned your computer for a legit windows licence before letting you update to 10.. If I've formatted completely, won't I lose that?

    • 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.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
