It's a diesel. A bit of soot is to be expected. Wouldn't worry about it.
Glow plugs are only used to preheat the cylinders at start up so they won't affect anything. You should get a warning light if one fails anyway.

What about swapping the i5 out for one of these? http://www.scan.co.uk/products/intel-pentium-k-anniversary-g3258-s1150-haswell-dual-core-32ghz-oc-up-to-45ghz-5-gt-s-dmi-32x-ratio-
They're supposed to be a decent budget choice for gaming when overclocked (which you'll be able to do with a z87 board). If you want to do more heavily threaded stuff then stick with the i5 but if just gaming and general desktop stuff it should be fine. Will give you a bit more to spend in other areas or reduce the cost of the build a bit.

No, just different ways of measuring the same thing. Like comparing mm with cm with metres etc. I get 75 meg, but that means 75Mbps. If I change the units to MB/s on speedtest.net then I get 9.something.

Are you sure you're not confusing Mbps with MB/s?

Doesn't matter what size the existing motherboard is... Matters what size motherboard the case will accept. Have you tried googling the case for reviews/specs? That should answer your question.
If it will accept both mATX and ATX then get whatever will meet your needs... But mATX in an ATX case looks a bit daft.

I've got a Sting 3.3m, a Pansh Ace 5m and a Peter Lynn Venom II 13m. Haven't flown them for a while though. The Venom scares me too much lol. Not once it's in the air, it's just launching the bloody thing!

Count the strands? Cut some of the insulator back so you can bend each strand out of the way as you count it.

It's all well and good trying to chase perpetual motion etc and to an extent you can very nearly achieve it by spinning an object in a perfect vacuum and zero gravity. It'll pretty much keep going forever. But as soon as you try and harness that energy your introducing resistance which will slow everything down until it stops. The closest we can expect to get to free energy is to harness part of the power of the sun more efficiently than we currently do eg a type of Dyson sphere. Or find someway to connect to the energy grid in hyperspace (for any Iain M Banks fans).

I'd never have classed myself as a big Zonda fan but that it pretty epic! Nice to be able to afford two!

pretty poor imo.
Does anyone find their speed reduces over time??
Ours was down at 0.4Mb/s, until we phoned up SKY. It magically jumped to 3 or 4Mb/s, while I was on the phone.... and now back below 2Mb/s/
Could be due to line errors. If Sky reset the line it'll get back to it's theoretical maximum but it learns over a period of time what's the maximum speed it can run at without causing packet collisions (or something). Speed will drop until a stable connection is established. If your router isn't plugged into your master socket and is on an extension somewhere else then this can cause it. I used to run the router off an extension upstairs and got about 2 meg and it dropped out loads. Changed to the master socket downstairs and it increased to 4 meg and was stable. The extension was obviously causing a lot of errors (poor grade cable possibly).

Just had Infinity 2 installed today. Won't be able to blame lag on MW3 any more... that's probably a bad thing! Lost my excuse!

I've got a pair of the SR80i's and I really like them. Would definitely recommend but I haven't listened to any of the others to compare.

With its new engine.
Mmm... throttle bodies! Bet that sounds awesome!

I think it's a refresh rate issue. I've got a decent cable on mine and still get it. Also had it on my xbox when playing Moto GP.

It'll be the diesel particulate filter that's clogged. A good run should sort it but see what the garage says. New cars with DPF's fitted are crap on short runs for this reason. If it's just going to be doing short runs round town then you might need to look at getting something else as it will keep happening.

Will a PC power supply be able to provide the ampage required by the amp? You'd need to know what the 12v rail on the power supply is capable of supplying. Ideally I guess you'd want it to be able to supply at least the ampage that it would require to blow the fuse in the amplifier, so if you've got a 25 amp fuse then you'd want the 12v rail to be capable of supplying at least 25 amps. Also most car amps run best at over 12v as when the engine is running you're generally seeing somewhere around the 14v mark. Not sure how much strain all this will put on a PC power supply so just be aware and keep an eye (or a nose) out for funny smells!

Yeah, looking at that you wouldn't be able to run a different sub unit as the current sub contains the amplifier that runs the whole system. You could split it all apart and re-wire a load of stuff but it'll be a lot of effort. Would be better off saving up and replacing the whole lot.

R26.R is awesome. Depends if you need 4 seats or not.

I've read that you get afterglow whilst everything is warming up but that they disable once the engines up to temperature?
