Yeah, you're allowed to use reasonable force IIRC, so if someones coming at you unarmed then using a weapon (knife, gun) could get you in trouble (knife may be ok but gun definitely not). It then sort of scales upwards, so if they've got a knife then you can use a similar item. It's not particularly clear cut though.

I used to use Dynamite The Source boilies, but the issue is every other bugger seems to use them too so fish get put off them. Not been for years now, but used to like Tutti Fruiti too as it smelt nice!

You've made a good start by getting a quote on a sensible car! TBH that's not bad at all. Insurance companies don't really like being conned about who's the main driver/policyholder so I'd be up front about what you're trying to achieve, at least that way you'll know everythings ok. The other issue with being a named driver is that in the majority of cases you won't earn any NCD (Directline and Churchill are exceptions to this, there may be others but see my prev comment about main driver, I don't think they'll be keen on that arrangement!) and NCD is your key to cheaper premiums. In most cases your 1st year NCD is worth around a 35% discount. If you can, also try and keep your mileage low. The fewer miles you do, the less likely you are to be involved in an accident so the quote will be cheaper, although getting experience driving needs to be balanced with this. Don't think about modifying the car either, this will do nasty things to the premium assuming the company will cover you. A lot won't insure drivers under 25 on a modified car.

Yeah, I've been using it for a while. Got most stuff on their (but no Tool! Grr) and I think the adds play every 30 minutes.

I'd agree with what Mad-Wolfie has said. Plodding along causes your mind to wander. If you're making progress you're generally paying a lot more attention to what's going on around you. A lot of the time it's not the speed that's the issue, it's the lack of attention that causes an accident, or the small mindedness of the driver. If people drove more consciously and thought more about their surroundings and what everyone else is doing then accident levels would drop. I think the Government took the right step by introducing a hazard perception test but should try and increase the amount of time spent on this area. Also if everyone was more courteous and less "me me me" then the roads and the world in general would be a safer and more pleasant place!

I've built the false floor too, but everythings currently sat behind the sofa in my games room at the moment as I needed the boot space. Now I'm in the process of sorting the Fabia properly I may try and get it all in and finished this time.

I kind of got this far with installing my audio gear into the Fabia but haven't really progressed any further... The Genesis amp runs some Diamond M6 components and the Alpine drives a 12" Type R... or would do if it was all installed!

It's just a 56k modem for dialup internet access or if you wanted to use your PC like a fax machine.

The title on ebay says it's a modem. You can get funny temp readings off stuff if the program isn't configured to read the sensors right. Motherboard Monitor used to be a bit awkward like that. Best bet would probably be to make sure you've earthed yourself and have a poke round in the case. Have you touched the motherboard chipset heatsink? It should be the one more or less in the middle of the case, it may or may not have a fan on it. Or if you've got a temp gun for tuning engines you could try waving that around in there and see if that picks anything up.

Must rip your hands to shreds pulling yourself up on brick walls and mineral felt roofs! Looks awesome though, got to have some skill to do that. I thought the guy that jumped onto the rock in the pond was going to get wet feet as he couldn't take a run up to jump off again!

Meh, Opera 10 is where it's at!

Because its got the STI engine in it?

I didn't have any issues with my wisdoms coming through at all. I had my rear 4 teeth removed to make room for them and that was it. No teething gel for mummy's special little guy necessary. Be a man about it and quit whinging.

Might be worth checking what that will do to your insurance premium before you go to the effort of fitting it. Looks good though.

I was going to install all my audio gear in my Polo, but I already suffer with minor scrubbing on the rear wheels just two up, let alone adding a load of MDF, amps and sub in the boot so 6x9's were the perfect solution. Plus the poor little 1.05l engine stuggles enough as it is lol.

If your lights start to dim once you've got it all fitted then before you get anything like a capacitor (which will just add extra load to already insufficient cabling) make sure you swap to 8 gauge or even better 4 gauge cable. That should help. The other thing that might be worth taking a look at are "The Big Three" which is the cabling from the alternator to ground, alternator to battery and battery to ground (iirc). A lot of the time the cabling already in place isn't up to the job of supplying the extra load that car audio can place on it, so upgrading these cables to 4 gauge can provide major benefits.

6x9's can be useful if you don't want to lug a sub round in the boot. It's pretty pointless running a sub AND 6x9's as others have already said.

Just out of interest what size fuse does that amp have in it? 10 gauge is a bit on the small side. It's not recommend for any more than 30 amps according to a similar kit on Car Audio Direct. Last thing you want to happen is the cable to over heat, melt the insulation and short out somewhere on the car body, potentially causing a fire.

If you have a look on the Forza 2 forum there are loads of drift setups that you can copy. If you want a seriously fast group A car check out the auctions for an AZT Track Raptor R32 skyline. They run to about $200k irc but they're awesome cars. A mate of mine on Live helped develop them.

No, just a picture I found. It's a Rallye, so super-charged and 4wd.

Or for something slightly different... (fingers crossed the forum re-sizes this...)

How bizarre... last thing I expected to see on here was a picture of Sammy. Guess you know Luke as well?

Here you go, all good quality stuff.

If you don't like it go private...
