    Frankie Boyle Jokes

    Seriously, look him up on Youtube. Or on episodes of Mock the Week ;) "Apparrently, in the US, Osama Bin Laden is more famous than Michael Jackson. Although you have to say, he doesnt put quite so much effort into his video's. Maybe he should just throw in a little moonwalk every now and then...

    Painting the Block

    Just want to know the basics of this - as i'm tired of staring at rust. Want to have the block painted silver, and just clean up the head. I'm guessing the standard prep work applies in as far as degreasing and brushing with a wire brush, but what sort of paint to get? and how to make sure you...

    ...for making a smoothie. Thing is, it wasnt until my 2nd pint that i realised something was drastically wrong. I added the bubble wrap in the raspberries by mistake. I think i just drank a good square inch of polythene :/

    The things that make us men!

    1. OPENING JARS - She's struggling. You take it from her hands, open it effortlessly and pretend she loosened it for you. She didn't. Jars are men's work. 2. CALLING SOMEONE 'SON' - Especially policeman but even saying it to kids makes you the man. 3. DOING A PROPER SLIDE TACKLE - Beckham free...

    Piston Choice okay?

    I'm just going for a stock rebuild for my engine - not looking to push insane amounts of power - 300bhp is pretty much all i'm aiming for, and current setup is about stock, with the exception of the 3" elbow back exhaust (with HKS elbow), and no boost increase over the standard actuator. I...

    Being Evicted :(

    Ticking noises and oil pressure...

    Well, a some of you may know, i've been worried about the oil pressure in my supe for a while, and theres this strange, category defying ticking noise. Some say its a sign of rod knock, some say it IS rodknock, some say its normal, others say stuck injector, cams seized etc etc. Well, have a...

    Windows Vista

    Well, i managed to 'procure' the DVD for Vista Ultimate 64-bit, so i thought i'd bore you all about it :D It doesnt take long to install, which is a good thing. And, you can now load RAID drivers from a USB key instead of having to rummage for a working floppy disk, which is another plus...

    Anyone in Phoenix?

    The reason why i'm asking this, is cause a friend of mine DESPERATELY needs transport. He's living on disability and ideally needs a van or someone to fit a working 302 to the broken-ass Ford Van he has at the moment. Failing that - can anyone DONATE a car, doesnt matter of what kind, to him? I...

    Clutch pedal shenanigans...

    In addition to my other problem, the clutch engages only just off the floor, like 1cm travel. Spongy feel to it. I can have a look in the daylight (its 2:51am right now, and pitch black), is that low fluid, or air in the system? Cheers and TIA

    Engine suddenly runs like crap & stalls out

    Drove to the store earlier, and it was fine, get shopping, come back to the car, disarm the alarm. Car wouldnt start, tripped the alarm. Checked EFI fuse, was fine - no codes being thrown. Engine finally started after a jump start. Barely got back - stalled twice when coming to junctions and...

    15w40 okay?

    Thinking about swapping the oil out in my new red tubbie - the oil thats in there i think, is 10w40 but it seems a little thin. Oil pressure at idle is 40psi when cold, and at the first mark (20psi?) when warm, sometimes a little under. When its cold, the engine likes to rattle a little. Top end...

    Fisher Price - My First Turbo....

    Thats kinda what it feels like anyway - i got me a nice big red '91 Turbo now, picking it up soon and it's already got substantial suspension/braking mods done to it (TEIN coilovers, Fensport Cross Drilled Front Discs, Pagid Fast Road Pads), thing is the engine is almost totally standard. The...
