  1. Actually now that you mention it, Grand Cherokee SRT8 was on my list of awesome cars I would buy if I had the money. Great looking vehicle and faster than a lot of sports cars. Just sell before the warranty is up. 76k new from a quick google.
  2. Also, as for posting emails...it is quite legal unless there is a copyright clause in the body of the emails / someone is staking copyright to the information contained within. If not, it is your property and you are free to do with it as you will.
  3. Two things: 2 sides to every story Smoke; fire
  4. Porsche Cayenne Turbo
  5. And yet it's all ya do <3
  6. TOTY PM threat was fking hilarious and there are some sig worthy moments here. Gold mine.
  7. Does it give you a bit of a slight burning sensation with it too? And does the pain come and go as your leg moves about / straightens and contracts?
  8. Roof aircon maintenance/service fee...
  9. Correct
  10. Yeah but worth money
  11. The shoebox is up and running! This was designed to be a portable/LAN gaming rig on a budget (<$1900k incl. all peripherals). Specs: CPU: i5 3570 (3.4ghz-3.8ghz) MB: ASUS P8H77-I RAM: Ripjaws 8gb (4gb x 2, 1600mhz) GPU: Gigabyte GTX770 Windforce OC 4gb (1137mhz base, 1189mhz boost) HDD: Samsung EVO 840 SSD 120gb, Seagate Barracuda 1TB x 2 PSU: Corsair HX650v2 Case: Cooler Master Elite 120 MITX Monitor: ASUS PB278Q (27" 2560 x 1440 PLS) Keyboard: Logitech G510S Mouse: Razer DeathAdder 2013 I was curious to see how Gigabyte's bells and whistles 770 would go up against the mighty 780ti that Leigh had installed previously, in essentially the same system. Given nearly $400 difference between the two cards, I'm pretty happy with being ~2000 points shy at 9739, versus his original 3dmark11 of 11899. This is unclocked, so maybe we can pick up some of the slack with some card tampering...assuming Gigabyte left us enough headroom. Everything stayed very cool during the benchmark - surprisingly cool and quiet, in fact, for an MITX case - but it probably helps having 3 huge fans on your GPU. Two of these cards in SLI would be killer for the money (my exact intention when games get too much for the single card). The 3dmark result isn't anything spectacular by gaming PC standards, but neither is the $$$$ spent, and this unit is a piece of piss to lug around (see pic below; it's literally just a heavy shoebox). The real test will come when I run up BF4 on 1440 - if she can do that with playable FPS, then I think we've built a little winner. Props to Leigh for helping out with the build.
  12. Clever security too Xray machine showed a slight gap near the top of the piston...they got greedy and made the cavities too big. Depends. In the end it's a newer car, more comfortable and better looking than a Skyline. If performance is what you want and you're driving to and from work, keep the Skyline. Like I said you gotta take it to corners to feel the performance side of it. Without corners it's just a good looking sporty coupe with some nice modern features and interior.
  13. Border Security is fkin hilarious. So many liars. Middle-aged Asian women are the worst; terrible liars. Someone smuggling drugs hidden inside engine pistons, clever...
  14. And 20 years younger
  15. Just got that fun "go kart" feel that you get from a little buzz box; cockpit interior, in tune with the vehicle controls/feedback. You have to hit the corners though. They are no more special than a sporty little modern-looking car around town. I think they did a good job of capturing the essence of the AE86, being that it wasn't the fastest car at the time (still decent performance), but people loved to thrash/chuck them about. A lot of Hondas like the Integra and Prelude are like that. Would I want more power from factory? Yep. But it stands on it's own where it matters. Be a great beginner track car if you can afford to spend that on a track car. Add a blower and I think that's the difference between 8/10 and 9.9/10.
  16. Bugatti Veyron?
  17. Yes I remember you had an avatar of one for quite some time hence I mentioned. Then it seems you are never satisfied, dezz. But I do agree, cars are shit these days without spending an absolute fortune and anything decent from the 90's / early 00's is getting old in the tooth.
  18. Will be properly looking into these supercharger kits for the 86 on Monday. From what I gather: 4-5k fitted, ADR complianced and engineered, all bolt on components with ecu reflash. 170rwkw without an exhaust on conservative boost; not uncommon to get 210rwkw from an exhaust and a little more boost. In a great handling 1200kg rwd, that's good/dangerous fun!
  19. 350Z, 370Z, V35, V36... ...blown!
  20. Think I might go SLI Quaddro K6000 when I get my full ATX case...
  21. 2 x 770 = $800 2 x 780 = $1200+ Saw an SLI Titan setup the other day...fkin crazy lol
  22. R33 GTS-T + comfy and slow daily that makes you appreciate it. 's all a man ever needed.
  23. This
  24. Actually ate at Ash's Squires Loft lastnight...food was very good. CAAB angus porterhouse was very tasty and a good size (400gm) for the money. And shock horror I had it done medium
