I had a day off schoolReminds me of 1987

Good job again WIM!
Mazda did the same when they fitted springs to my Mx5. I was amazed how far the car dropped when the bushes were released. I also drove an hour and a half or more for the WIM treatment but the drive home was awesome.

He still wants one. What does that say about him 😱

haha just shared this with a work mate who wants a ford ranger

Intel or whoever will make a run of chips, the best ones (ones that can run at higher clocks) will get sold as high end products at a much higher price.. The slower ones will get sold as mainstream, and so on. This is usually called binning. Quite quickly they perfect this process and more and more are able to run the higher speeds. However they still need to sell to the low end and mainstream buyers. So enthusiasts can buy a cheaper mid range CPU and overclock it to get the performance of the really expensive ones.
Things have got a bit different over the last few years because Intel have been dominating the market so have changed things slightly and forced us to part with a bit bit more cash for the fun of overclocking. The principle is still the same though.
My Intel CPU is rated to run at 3.5GHz, with a bit more voltage I can make it run at 4.6Ghz. Some people with really good (lucky) chips may be able to push theirs to 4.8GHz or more. But as the voltage and speed is increased so is the heat.
I have a water cooling set up, it's basically the same as a car engine cooling. A water block, a reservoir, a pump and a radiator with fans.
When overclocking a CPU you get to a point where you start to need more and more voltage to make the next jump in clockspeed.
So for 24/7 use mine is clocked at 4.5GHz to keep the voltage down, and so less heat equals less fan noise.
Hope this explains why and how it started.

Oh yes I remembered the GTR did coz I've read it on here. Didn't realise some Mercs have. Must be the big expensive ones.

BMW think RFT are so good. But no other manufactures joined then?

Hey Tony. Have you looked on MX5Parts? They have a few cheaper options on there.

You still need to factor the cost of labour unless you could do them yourself. Then take to WIM for set up.

Haha great pics
-
Is that the engine that was in the little Peugeot 205s that went on forever?
-
Lol I just got myself my first diesel.
As said the best choice Merc was a diesel though,the petrol option was very weak and pants. I'd never considered diesel before I went to test drive one.
Not the first time I've heard that oil burners are on the hit list recently.

Haha just seen this. Looks like my ex wife was in the back, she used to put her make up on with a shotgun. Both barrels!

WTF was that a Rover?
-
Same with ours.Ours have a band around them, and they cut them until the rubber is down to the band, then replace with new
-
I lol'd hard😂
-
Haha just like surgeon leaving stuff in when stitching up a patient.
-
brilliant! thanks for that
-
I think it looks great. But it needs to sound great too.
That bloke needs a haircut so i cant take him seriously.
-
Whatever. Looks like a fail
-
-
Looks really tidy. Bet it was one if those no brainer buys where you just know its been looked after.
It took me about 3 weeks to get my seat exactly how I wanted it.
-
Never felt the need for winter tyres. Even drove the MX5 through rain, snow and ice. Just 25kg of ballast (Maris Piper) in the boot no problems.
I don't get it.
I have nowhere to store the wheels even if I wanted to
-
Nice finish on the paint though
