Lovely car Al. Didn't realise you could get so much power out of them! Any plans to drop it nice and low like Gus's old one....which I also loved

Excellent. With those facial expressions, he's got to have been copying his parents when they were bombed oot their nut!!

Excellent stuff Graeme. I also love the project threads although they make me more than a bit jealous and sad that only a lottery win will see me posting a similar thread! Look forward to your updates

That's not too bad Colin. You're getting there!

No updates for us Peter? Are they only going on 'the other place' these days?!

Phil, yeah...if people went out on their bike and were on the receiving end then it might be different. Like you say, totally different on the continent. Graham...I've seen plenty of shocking riding by motorcyclists, the favourite is usually double white lines. We all use the road and no-one's perfect. I hope I see you posting up when you've been stuck behind a tractor doing 20mph for a few miles. See if some farm types get upset. A lot of cyclists can go along at 20mph or not far off. When I'm out with a mate, we go single file when car's are behind us. Never been in a big group so don't know what their thinking is. The red light thing is a definite no-no. But not everyone using pedal power is a numpty! And I'll try not to get involved anymore. Just hope no-one gets too frustrated, does something daft and ends up in jail.

And what's the difference between that and motorbikes/scooters (space permitting) that do the same? Don't think it's an offence. I see plenty of cars that aren't always sitting behind the white line? How about the cars that sit in the space that's actually provided for cyclists at the front at lights? " they just cycle past millimetres from your paintwork" That'll be like the drivers in their big cars who drive millimetres from you rather than giving you space. "all the irate motorists" Do you speak for them all? So the 'idiot' cyclist holds back the 'knob' driver for a few seconds in their day!!! There are more things in life to get worked up about.

Great pen if you haven't seen this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBOGfg6YhaU Sorry if it's a re-post. Only saw it today

As the big chap says. I had that except the car went into limp mode and it was EGT code. Got my resistor from Maplins for pennies. Try and get a good solder on it and re check that if the light come back on. Mine did, thought it hadn't worked but a re-solder did the trick. No problems since.

I'm also for keeping it as is mate. I think that type of spoiler looked great on The Fatboy...RIP but it went with the rest of the car. As you say, good chance for some cash for some nice goodies

Ah...the good old 'i hate cyclists' type thread! Have we turned into Scabbynet? There are some belters on there! Well, as a keen cyclist (i'm not gay Graham but wear lycra...like you would wear footy kit to play footy) and copper, there have been plenty of times when I'm been saying to folk that I hope that non of their relatives are on a bike and come across someone who has an attitude to cyclists like theirs. Not having a good at anyone here but you end up cycling on the offensive because of the attitude of a lot of drivers. As has been pointed out, cyclists are allowed to cycle 2 abreast, in fact IIRC the highway code encourages it. You're supposed to pass a bike like you would a small car but a lot of the time you'll have someone just skimming past your shoulder. Or drivers thinking they can rush ahead just to turn left across the front of you when they would only have to wait a few seconds. Metal box versus bike isn't a big fight. And remember that 'road tax' doesn't exist so you can't put that one of cyclists....but I drive a scooby so pay my fair share!!! I do hate seeing cyclists go through red lights though and will deal with it if I'm at work. Gives everyone a bad name. Dangerous cycling is a charge! Remember though, if you do have an incident when it's car vs bike, you'll probably get hammered for it. In the good old US it's like assault with a deadly weapon or something! So....just tell yourself that you're not in a rush and relax....you'll get past shortly Oh.....and at least we're probably easier to get past than those bloomin' motability sit down scooter type that are also allowed on the road!!! Love you all PS: I hope that doesn't come across as a total 'bite' to Graham's post!!!

Hello and welcome. As above, you want to try and make the most of the remap. You could do the exhaust/filter first and get a remap at a later date, ideally when you've got a few other bits together! Another good place to look http://www.andyforrestperformance.co.uk/index2.html

Mmmm, if I remember, he said something about you needing the practice?!!!

What work you looking to get done? You have Greers out by Beith or CraigMcD (forum member) is in Seedhill I believe. For a bodyshop, JB Coachworks in Paisley

They tried to give me cheap movies, but I don't get to watch any so not worth it to me. Haven't tried the cancelling thing. What are your thoughts on SD via the HD box Stephen? Is it HDMI only or can you stick with SCART? Think I'd rather not have HD if it was to the detriment of the SD (the majority) channels.

Thanks for the replies folks. How have you found SD on your box? I read over on AV Forums about people saying that their SD picture quality wasn't as good after going with HD because you use an HDMI cable rather than a SCART? I was wondering if they were being picky because on that forum there are a lot of folk who are REALLY into their tv etc etc and would probably notice things I wouldn't!

Sorry to hear that Kenny. I imagine it's tempting to go 2nd hand when it's costing a fair bit. Hopefully sorted soon!!

I like my cycling which I get a lot of on Eurosport. I've noticed a big difference on HD with the sport. What I was wondering is that at the moment I'm happy with my picture but if I then watch some channels on HD then go back to channels that aren't in HD, with a think the picture isn't good even though I was happy with it before?

Good stuff mate. I like the nice but not too noisy burble from my Prodrive box.

Hi folks, Been thinking about it for a while because I could do with the bigger hard drive space and the black box matches my TV and XBOX better!!! I get a great picture at the moment with my plasma so I'm not really missing it as I've never had it so wondered if I should go ahead. Would get the free box and it would cost 'another' £10 a month. Doesn't sound a lot but when you add up all the 'it's only another tenner' etc

Hello and welcome

Happy birthday mate

Hello and welcome mate. We'll see how long it is before you're asking about getting more power, or improving the handling....or the styling etc etc etc

Happy Birthday mate No complaining now you're the grand old age of.....25!! Enjoy your day off

Sssshh! It would've been a nice surprise!!
