Thread split from old one due to offtopicness

Cheers, admin

Plus, yeah, give the public an idea of what the reality of what they're doing.

Yeah good one, and you actually write for a news paper? Quality English you have there. :)

Nonsense!

The only times I'll correct people on spelling and grammar:

A. The whole passage is an absolute nightmare to read.

B. It's a formal piece of writing.

C. They're correcting people on forum spelling/grammar but make a mistakes themselves. Example:

Yeah good one, and you actually write for a news paper? Quality English you have there. :P

Yeah, good one. And you actually write for a newspaper? Quality English you have there.

And before anyone has a go at me for starting a sentence with a conjunction, it's widely accepted as correct grammar these days in the right context - just look at this sentence.

Back to work/trolling.

I will never accept conjunctions at the beginning of sentences. It's just not cricket. I think it is like accepting 'txt' speak in school exams.

Here's your conical hat and there's the corner!

Don't dunce me you dunce. When used in conversational writing (particularly discussion/argument/debate), it's quite acceptable. Grammar is pretty subjective these days anyway - we only have hard and fast rules for the most basic stuff.

It's the editor's job to fix up spelling / punctuation - besides, this is an internet forum, not an Oxford dictionary.

Oh dear

Being dyslexic I have a lot of head ache trying to write something this simple, the thing that I get annoyed with is, internet worriers correcting every one when they them self can not get it right.

As pointed out already its a forum not a Oxford dictionary. Who cares as long as you can understand what is being said (clearly they can because they correct it)

Really at the end of the day when it comes too formal stuff its nobody else's concern as the only person that should have to worry about it is the original author.

Just my 2p

I love correcting my GF on spelling since she's dyslexic too lolz :)

TBQH this forum has some of the highest standards of spelling and grammar of any I've ever posted on. Usually any mistakes on my behalf are due to laziness or tiredness or stealth mod edits.

Ok, maybe I should not have said that sparking a completely off topic discussion.

So when Jeremy Clarkson says, "Some say................, and that..............., All we know is....

This is the same use of the word and, is it not?

      Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...

      That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?

      I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.

      If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
