I think its more noticeable coz ur car is white maybe? Mine is the same. I think its a mixture of road dirt as well as exhuast. I found that a good turtle wax stops any crud from sticking lol

I might d/l the others before i see it. How many was there? 5 or something.....?

Dont forget you run the risk of your paint cracking when they roll it. Thats why they'll never garantee it. Try a different offset rims maybe?

Hit the nail on the head. This has been my position ever since the time i passed my license thinking "That test was too easy" If the government wanted to get serious about bad/dangerous driving then they would greatly improve the course and testing procedures for obtaining a drivers license. And it wouldn't be hard either; simply look to other countries for model course structures... Unfortunately, as it was pointed out in the first post by just one police officer in one week, bad/stupid drivers create revenue....

Just to add to the above posts, surging, or sudden drop in fuel at high rpm and on turbo cars isnt good for the motor. But if ur driving normally, then there's no probs....

Can't you just disconnect the pwc handcontroller and leave the ecu in stealth stYles? ....im guessing even if u did that and they did an emission test then it wouldnt pass due to the tune yer?

If ur considering paying $200 for a lenient rwc, why dont you just put that money towards another seatbelt?

A camcorder is your friend...

Implemented in Ballarat rather successfully....

I downloaded all 8.49Gig of it which came with a few extra scenes etc, and even though it wasnt in english i didnt mind the subtitles. At first i thought the names used were made up, but if you google the Angels names for example, you will find that the episodes take on a greater meaning. A few other movies: -Conan the Barbarian -Pumping Iron -300 -Crash

Are you into Japanese manga? Try - Neo Genisis Evangelion If ur not sure what it is....

Drugs or Think of it as pulling a double shift at the office. Have smoko every coupe hours, eat something healthy for energy, stretch ur legs, and have a nap halfway....

I've un-installed the video card drivers and left it like that to rule out problems with the motherboard, RAM, or HDD. Its been going alrite and has not displayed any of my previous symptoms. Its definately looking like a stuffed video card.....

Just tried from scratch now.... Uninstalled everything and re-installed using supplied cd's. Got about 3/4 through the installation, it seemed to try adjust the display setting to a higher resolution and went blank. Looks like i'll be going for the new 9800 GX2 @ approx $750! ...but its got more powaaa!!!!!!!

No No, the picture was different. It was actually 'cutting' into the desktop picture. It wasnt the resize as i know what it looks like. Yer thats what i meant by dos, i ran cmd. Error was -Could not initiate scan of protected files. Specific error code 0x000006ba [The RPC server is unavailable]

Nah i doubt its a cooling issue. Room temps of 20C, it hasnt been hot the last few weeks and i havent used the heater yet. Plus, I had the 20inch fan sitting right ontop of it at full speed. The temps dropped by 10C and it was still doing the same thing. If it is a heat related issue, then the card would've already sustained heat damage; so even if i dropped in an aircon it wouldnt make a difference. I might stop off at the Collingwood swap meet with my card and see if i can get the hardware tested for free. But i'll attempt the re-install the card tomorrow, so im still up for suggestions till then.......

All connections are intact. There is two DVI connections on the card, and im using a VGA adaptor for the lcd. Tried swapping over to the other DVI with no difference. When i loaded normally The screen went all funny. Desktop picture was broken and the icons were 'cutting' into the background. Screen became blue (not BSOD) with colored lines going vertically in a random fashion. A screen popped up for a 1/1000th of a sec and nothing. Went to dos, typed switch and came back with error -Could not initiate scan of protected files. Specific error code 0x000006ba [The RPC server is unavailable] Thats what i've been thinking although testing the temp on the heatsink in Normal and Safe mode, and temps seem to be consistent in both modes. The amount of fans i got on this computer would be enough to make it fly if i pointed em all in the same direction! lmao!!! But to be sure, the other day i sat the tower on its side, grabbed the the room fan (20inch fan), and lay the fan directly ontop of it. Temps on the GBU fell by over 10C but it was still playing funny games! After the screen has its hissy fit, the screen turns off for about 5-10sec (although the times are not always consistent, it has on occasion just hang), then the computer just resets. Doesnt actually shut down. Everything inside is quite clean. The other day i pulled the card off to look closer at the heat sink and fan, and it seems reasonably good. There was a very, slight amount of dust, but nothing that would seem detrimental. Completely removing it and re-installing the card from scratch is probably gonna be my next port of call. I'll wait a day or two for other peoples suggestions, but the way its going it looks like i'll have to. Either that or i go for the brand new 9800 GX2..... mmmmmmm more powa! Thanks for the suggestions so far guys /geek mode

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys..... LoL, i cant belive i forgot to run MSCONFIG! ....will try that when i get home this avo. Yer im kinda leaning towards something to do with the graphics card as it does run in safe mode, so the card prob isnt stuffed. Although, as the drivers arent running in safe mode hence the card isnt running at full speed so it wouldnt overheat either..... :s Also, please read the edit's in my initial post

PC Stats: Dual core 3.2 Gigabyte m/b 1G ram 7950 GX2 graphics card 600W (new) WinXP About two weeks ago i was sitting at my computer when i noticed the screen went blank for about 1sec. Didnt think anything of it, until it started to get worse. It started to go blank for more than a few seconds before it got to the blue screen and froze. I reset thinking i must've copped a virus then ran Avast which reported it clean. It then got to the stage where it would simply load up, then reset. The only way it would let me in was in safe mode. I suspected the graphics card but was leaning on the already maxed out power supply (the 500W one) which may have lost its efficiency over the summer heat maybe? Changed the power supply to the 600W and it seemed fine for a day or so; then the monitor started doing the same thing again and now i can only get in in safe mode again. Im now suspecting a driver conflict, as i updated something which for the life of me i cant remember so i can roll it back. ....either way its got me stumped. What i've tried so far: -Virus scan (ok) -Power supply upgrade (ok) -Checked monitor (ok) -Re-installed older video drivers (ok) -Added room fan to keep video card cool (ok) ...unless the card has sustained heat damage? I checked the temp with a probe on the GPU heat sink .....45-48c idle, 55-60c mild load -EDIT Tried the other DVI plug on the card (ok) Any other suggestions? EDIT Sorry i forgot to mention. When it reboots, and i am able to load normally for a minute before it dies again, i clicked ok to sending an error report to Microsoft which comes back as telling me something along the lines of - Video Card Device Driver no good/needs re-installing. ...how accurate this is i couldnt answer.

So a P-plater can drive a turbo R32 ? For some unknown reason i was under the impression that a P-plater cannot drive a turbo powered car. ...didnt realise the dude was talking about before July 2007 till he stated afterwards.

Its turbo = its illegal

Tighten the bolt? ...also, make sure its not the reclining join (dont know exact name) in the seat which is pretty common with all cars.

LOL @ all the people flaming the poster for stupidly buying a turbo car on his P's saying he's breaking the law. (Not that i disagree ) ...PowerFC (amongst others) is also illegal, yet how many people here still install them....(myself included) *runs from angry mob*

Well, i tried turning off all the lights. But its a bit hard getting ready to go out in the dark lol but mostly everything was off. LoL @ Rove last night..... "...and 42% found it was the perfect opportunity to hose down their driveway"

I think people are getting the wrong impression as to what Earth Hour is about. Just as Anzac day, Remembrance Day, etc, is not going to bring back our dead soldiers, it is about the awareness it creates. Earth Hour isnt about making a long term change by turning off lights for one hour, LoL, its about creating greater awareness on electricity use......... ....no, im not a tree hugger either
