mmmmm, Steaaaaaaaaaaak... (that means i'm in) when come back, bring pie!

so you're here as of this Sunday? what time are you arriving? Brisbane Auto Salon is on this Sunday...

Will be there, assuming i'm not working!

would you Consider a fairly stock Series IV RX7 turbo for a trade + cash?

fark! glad to hear you're alright mate... i had a dream (premonition for this maybe?) a couple of weeks ago that i was driving and went around a corner too fast up on Mt Nebo, and ended up backing the car off a cliff, taking out a heap of trees on the way down, and landed right at the bottom... the car looked like it had been through a compactor, but somehow myself and my passenger got out okay... :| definitely a sobering dream

just saw 2 x r33 GTS-t's turning onto Ogg Road at Kallangur 1 x Burgundy and 1 x Silver

in english? Sorry, not quite understanding what you're saying? i'm saying that i would have been doing around 120 - 125kph, yet they claim i'm doing nearly 10km more than that... i'm happy to cop the fine for 120 - 125kph, however, i feel that the fine for 133kph is outrageous

i'm probably going to call for legal advice today... i'm thinking if i can at least get the fine downgraded to the next category, i'll be happy with that and cop the fine/points, because, as i said, i WAS speeding and i expect to be punished in some way for it, but not by them accusing me of things that didn't happen. does anyone know the legalities of: a) The photo being taken of the car head-on? i thought the photo had to be taken from behind? b) What tolerances are the cameras calibrated to?

nope... on the motherboard, the pins for the HDD Led, the reset switch, the power switch etc were all colour coded.... just happened that the colour coding didn't QUITE co-incide with the wiring, and the power switch was on the wrong pins

oh, btw... i fixed my computer when i got home today... its back running again.... something SOOOOO simple it was stupid

don't think i can make this one guys... i have 5am starts (get up at 3am) all this week and as such i am in bed by about 8 - 8:30.... hope u guys have a good night!

Yeah, gonna have a look for dead caps etc this afternoon when i get home. Will also try the thing with the ATX switch. yeah, i did replace the PSU with a new one:

a mildly modified R32 will be flat-out hitting speedcut even down the back straight.... i was only hitting around 185 - 190 before braking (in a mildly modified R32 GTS-t), and thats with good exits from turn 2 with semi-slicks etc.

its not really old gear.... its only around a year old, and back then it was pretty much top of the line...

'ello. Having a few problems with my computer at the moment... The power supply on the computer has been a bit tempermental for about a week or so... sometimes starting, sometimes not (which required you to unplug it from the wall, leave it for a few mins and then plug it back in) as well as getting fairly noisy. On Sunday night, heard a bit of a pop/bang in my room in the middle of the night (computer wasn't on) - couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, so went back to sleep. Got up yesterday morning to come to work, and tried to turn the computer on - when i pushed the power button, the green 'power' light lit up for a split second, then the computer just went dead (this is what it normally does when the power supply decides to be tempermental) but for the life of me i couldn't get it to come back after trying all the usual tricks... figured the power supply must've finally packed it in... no worries i thought.... bought a new one on the way home from work yesterday.... stripped the whole computer down last night to a bare case, gave everything a good dust/clean (it was about a year old, so a bit of dust in there) and rebuilt the computer from the ground up.... after i pulled the 'dead' power supply out, i found that it had a blown capacitor, as well as some other (what appears to be heat related) damage. went to fire up the rebuilt computer after it was all done.... nothing... thought i must have missed the power switch connection or something so i pulled it apart again and had a look - nope, everything as it should be.... the motherboard is getting power (as seen by the green indicator light on the board itself) but nothing at all happens when i push the power button.... i'm starting to think maybe when the power supply blew, it sent a big surge through the motherboard or something and fried that as well... bah... anyone got a spare Socket 775 motherboard/cpu around that i could try swapping my board/cpu with to see if they're still good? I'm looking to upgrade anyway, but i can't be assed spending a bit over $2.2k for the parts i want.... can anyone do me good prices on hardware? (PM me if you like) The parts i'm after are mainly: ASUS P5N32-SLI-SE-DELUXE Intel Dual Core 2 nFORCE4-SLI - Motherboard Intel ATX E6600 CORE 2 DUO /2.4GHz/4MB CACHE/1066FSB/LGA775 - CPU XFX GeForce 7900GS 256meg DDR3 DVI/TVO PCI-E 480Mhz - Video Card *** x 2 *** DDR2 1G(1024MB) PC6400 800Mhz RAM(single stick) Kingmax - RAM (Doesn't have to be this brand, but roughly that speed/specs) Power Supply CoolerMaster iGreenPower 600W SLI Ready (ATX)(RS-600-ASAA) - PSU (Doesn't have to be this PSU, something with similar specs though) Thermaltake Armor VA8000SWA Silver Alloy Case with 430W (Doesn't have to be this case, just something around this size with good cooling etc) Oh, also, this means i won't have 'net access except for at work (very, very limited) so if someone needs to reach me for something, feel free to contact my mobile.

him going so slow was one of the problems... driving at 80 - 85kph, in the righthand lane/swerving between the lanes in a 100 zone is a severe traffic hazard

160 - 170 (speaking from experience)

spotted about 11ty billion skylines down the coast today

haha, yes John... as i said, there was a guy driving like a tool, and wanted to get out of there ASAP. unfortunately, there just happened to be a camera there... oh, btw, when are you getting out to a track to run some REAL times?

never said 20 over the limit... they 'claim' i was doing 133.... when i saw the flash and looked down, i think i was doing around 120 - 125

from what i've read of their literature etc, it seems that it's basically just optimax and optimax extreme with 'friction modifiers' added. the name V-Power is what it is called in Europe/most of the rest of the world, so i think they just re-named it to bring it in-line with the other countries, so now they only have to market one product instead of 2

oh, and the other car in the shot is about 20 - 30m behind me (the retard who was driving like a knob)

yeah, i 'normally' don't speed much at all, this is like a once-off time, and i just happened to get caught but like i said, i admit i was speeding, so i will probably just end up paying the $350/6 points bah
