hay james

i think the new looks is ok but very hard to read and understand, too many dark shades used in the colours but thats just my thoughts.

and also when loged in it does not remember you if you come back to the site 5 mins later like it used to do ( and yes i clicked the remember me button)

Wow - the post cout is back!

Look at James - he's such a post whore.

PS - I think this new layout is GHEY. But thats just me.

Also - I know the members section still exists somewhere but we all have to wait to up uploaded into the new database.

You can't delete old posts, that's annoying.. Unlike the rest of you whores I like to keep my post count small & recent :O I like deleting old posts from the spotted thread also, so its harder for any random person to keep track of my usual whereabouts etc etc but still be able to identity people I pass..

Tiny text is slowly sending me blind.. and I'll second that whinge, I want my 180 back, stuff this rb25 crap! :O

I was happy with the old forums.. why the change?

I was happy with the old forums.. why the change?

they were changed as they were numerous back end problems with the old versions of phbb and the developers/support werent able to help any more, or so i read in the feedback section anwyay. the site is a bit average. almost turns me off reading them all the time now cos they are much more unfriendly and a lot of the stuff isnt obvious. i cant work out new threads and which ones have new posts etc

im sure they will work it all out, just have to wait i guess. also no quick post is poo so i just have to reply to the last post in the thread in the meantime

Yeah the text is way way way too small.

And i think we need the post preview thing back (as stated above)..

This was what differentiated us from those nissan silvia louts! It saves heaps of time otherwise spent trawling through endless posts of people wanting rad BOV sounds and asking the difference between a skyline and a silvia etc etc. Especially if you are still on dialup.

there are a few cool features, like new PM's being displayed at the top of the page when you refresh while browsing ;)

however...

Where the hell did the TRADER RATINGS Go!??!!? And the subscribed thread listwent, but i'm hoping that it just hasn't been restored yet.

And i agree it's a lot harder to read than before. And not just the font size, but the layout too. I started the day trying to be optimistic, but nope i don't like it. Also PM space was chopped from 200 to 100 :rolleyes: bugger, so i did a nice big cleanout of crap i'd had sitting there for a while.

beh oh well...

well I liked it at first because often a change is refreshing.. but now its just bloody annoying me.. this crazy colour scheme and the text size.. my eyes are falling out of their sockets.. and changing the display on IE is a no no because it effects what you look at when your not on SAU as well.. bitch bitch bitch.. still annoyed about the quick reply thing.. and as someone said the thread preview I like that....

But on a good note.. I like the way when you are going through threads you can 'jump to page' so you just chuck in the page number you want and it's there.. no pressing buttons for ages and ages....

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
