Looks like I should have waited for the replies. I did some research and in the end I took the cheap way out with a 270 and a 260 for my brother but I'm seriously thinking about cancelling the order and going for that clearance 290. That's a very tempting price.

I could really do with a bit of advice on picking a couple of graphics cards. Annoyingly my 7850 has died meaning not only do I have to resort to onboard graphics for a few days but it also means that I cannot pass my 7850 onto my brother who also has to deal with the horror of onboard graphics...

Hi there I've been tasked with building my aunt a computer for her family for Christmas. I was going to build a system based around a LGA 775 motherboard and ram I have lying around to save money but the fact that LGA 775 stuff is so out dated I can't even buy a processor anymore has made me...

Given the fact that most people are attracted to RX8s because of the low buy in price for a modern, well speced 4 door, 4 seather sports car I doubt many will be interested in the prospect of spending more money on a car from the early 90s with 2 seats, 2 doors and a spec list that looked...

You actually agreed to have two 5,000 mile tyres replaced (with all things precisely the same Make and model of tyre!?) because the sidewalls were not 100% uniformly flat? I don't know what to worry about more, the number of cowboys in the motor industry or the fact that ordinary people...

Some of the higher end balance machines (t can be setup to had the weighs on the inner edge lined up behind the spokes, regardless of number of spokes on the wheel. I think a few of the more basic ones can do it simple 5 spoke wheels but most fitters don't bother. So it is possible to get...

You didn't think it was for me did you!?:eek: My only interest is to sort the bodywork a bit and try to make a bit of a margin on it before the summer ends.

Hi guys, Just a quick question, does anybody have any idea of what the rough sort of trade in/auction price a W reg manual 230K would be? Unknown miles, been laid up since at least November last year so I'm assuming no MOT, bonnet, front wings and boot are rotten and will need replacing, but...

I've come across a Honda meet a couple of times during the week when I was training up there in the supermarket (think its a morrisons) on a trading estate with a McDonalds, KFC, a few outlet stores and a car dealership (peugeot). Also stumbled upon a 'Max Power' style meet at the train station...

At this price point there isn't anything that can touch a supercharged jag in the combination of style, grace and out right perofrmance. But even me, a man that has confidence that he could run anything this side of a veryron on a shoe string budget is a little bit weary. Yes, parts are...

With the first 24 hour the 'relay' (I.E take the car back to your home) cover will not apply. They will however come out and assist you in a breakdown and tow you back to the nearest garage immediately.

Calliper bolts. Any Halfords size that held on a calliper carrier would get split within 3-6 months on fairly common usage (I'd do brakes about once a fortnight) where a tenner set of Clarke stuff from Machine mart lasted a year. Had Halfords ones crack on multiple sizes. Not impressed.

If you've already got some decent ratchets you might want to consider some of the Clarke Pro sockets. Absolutely dirt cheap, 6 sided and can withstand at LOT of abuse. A disappointingly short amount of time my well used Halfords sockets began to develop cracks while my Clarke stuff that was...

I have. The majority of TT6s seem to be on there there for £10,000+. The cheapest recent TT6 I found was a converted 5 speed NA car missing half of the interior for £6k, and that had everyone commenting how the seller could make more than that if he broke it for spares...

Of course. Logically I don't really need a car in any sense, but emotionally I'm still bitter that I had to sell the first Soarer and now I have some money to pay with, I want something even better (in my eyes at least) to replace it with. Simple as that. Is there some magical parts that...

Maybe the term 'weekend' car is a bit misleading? It might only be used on weekends, but it will be my only car and I don't want something horribly impractical. I still want 5 seats and a decent sized boot. The budget is as much as £8k, but £5k would be more comfortable/requires less...

Heh, you know me far too well :D. Like I mentioned, start a new job next week paying considerably more money than where I was. Hopefully the days of skint Joshy will be a thing of the past, and I'm looking to celebrate with something special :).

If you mean the older shape X308 I've pretty much decided that I don't want one at all now. I think the later X350s look far more modern while keep that distinctive XJ look, the spec on earlier cars can be a bit naff with stuff like parking sensors or folding mirrors not being standard, plus...

Would appreciate a bit of input on this. Every 'non car' person I've mentioned this too thinks that I'm bonkers, but hear me out. I've sort of been here before, eyeing up the older V8 XJRs, but upon realizing that something like the below is available for a realistic sort of money has got me...

I have read a story a few times saying that the Supra was originally supposed to be released in 1991, along with the Soarer and the Aristo (GS300)... Until the 300ZX was released which sent them back to the drawing board for a few more years so that they could really give the Datsun a good...
