Hi does anyone know how to setup a PC in a car and what sort of headunit do you need and how do you control what songs you are playing?

Memory/RAM Cheap vs Expensive. Talk to me!

harrypm82 — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:54:04 GMT

I've been raping google for info on the benefits of expensive over cheap ram. The results are mixed, so I'm asking you clever people for some answers. I'm not planning to overclock and look to put something like 8GB of DDR3 1600MHz in my new machine.

It's mainly going to be used for gaming, gaming, gaming and a bit of porn.:p Any advice would be gladly appreciated.:smokin:

What is out there for music via DLNA/upnp with DAB

Madmax — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:17:23 GMT

I've currently got 2 MP101s for streaming music around the house, but these have their limitations.

I'm wondering what is out there which has a DAB tuner but also allows streaming of music via upnp/dlna from my music server.

I've seen various items around �200, but there must be something cheaper.

It needs to be high on the WAF scale ;)

Car for me ma'...

SCOOTERMAN — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 13:34:32 GMT

As per the title, really. Her current is a '54 147Ti. It's alright, but at 50,000 miles it's showing the signs of six years of female ownership, low-mileage commuting and Italian resilience. It's not particularly economical for a 1.6 hatch, it's massive overkill for what she needs, and perhaps the biggest headache of all, is that the nearest dealer is 30 miles in the opposite direction to work, the nearest independent specialist 60 miles in another. As you can guess, servicing and repairs are an immense headache.

So, new car. Criteria is as follows, as directed by Mother SCOOTER:
Reliable
Small
Economical
Good looking (I know...)
A few luxuries (alloys, air-con or better still climate control)
Not too expensive

Another big thing is dealers, for reasons mentioned at the start. Dealers near to us, therefore the cars we can choose from, are:

Closest/best:
Ford
Mazda
Kia
Vauxhall
Mercedes

Close/acceptable
Citroen
Renault
Nissan
Peugeot
Mitsubishi
Chevrolet

Ruled out ("Don't like the look/don't want to drive a...")
Citroen DS3 (shame, as I like this a lot)
Kia Soul (ditto the DS3)
Kia Pro'Ceed
Vauxhall Corsa
Ford Ka

Possibilities:
Nissan Note
Ford Fiesta

But, so far, the runaway favourite is the Mazda2, which meets her needs perfectly. Seems a good enough car (p' haps the best looking supermini), and I don't think I've ever heard a bad word about Mazda reliability. A former neighbour had am early 626, which hit 216,000 miles. Another neighbour has a '99 626, currently at 178,000 miles, much of which was spent hauling caravans, and it still runs as sweet as ever.

Any other suggestions, or stuff I've forgotten?

Shop/Commercial lighting

Baz W — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 13:14:25 GMT

Anyone in the lighting trade on here?

The shop I work in needs its lighting sorted out as the 15 spotlights are always blowing and tripping out the fusebox.

A local sparky quoted or metal halide lighting but the lights were big and bulky and quite expensive.

Can anyone suggest alternatives to light the walls of a small shop without breaking the bank?

Lil job for the weekend :)

Arrived this morning from Badger5

Heading over to a mechy family member this weekend for a drinkie, foodie, fitting session (not necessarily in that order! ;) )
330mm rotors with DS2500 pads to go on the already fitted bells. Fairly standard rears.
Going on a MK1 Leon Cupra R. Stops like a stuck sticky thing :clown:
Any thoughts, tips or suggestions?

fuel tank porting

T.F.S. — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:49:35 GMT

hi

ok this is an odd one...

i have been looking for a fuel tank for a CL500 that has the ski hatch option but without success...

the fuel tank is in the boot right behind the rear seat:mad: and thus i cant put a port there...to make things worse the boot is fuly soundproofed and the bass also has to pass through �90 of fuel before it gets to the cabin which i am sure is sucking a lot of energy out of the sound

so has anyone ever had a hole cut into a fuel tank and if so where did you get it done and how much did it cost?

i understand its a bit of a risky job but i was hopeing that there are more than enough nutcases on here that would consider this normal lol:confused:

double backflip in a ........

vr4000 — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:19:45 GMT

wheelchair :wow:

Quote:

How good are you on a wheelchair? You can probably go forwards and backwards, maybe a spin. How about pulling off a backflip in one? No, wait, two backflips?

Aaron "Wheelz" Fotheringham has. And he's only 18. And he's a paraplegic. Yep, he's a teenage paraplegic daredevil -- and we've got video footage to prove it.

Catapulted into a ramp by an specially adapted bungee cord, Aaron rides his wheelchair into a ramp, slinging upself into the air and spinning a clear two times in the air.

He'd done it before, quite a few times, but not without the all-important wheel-based landing, resulting in more than a few nasty crashes.

Despite being born with spina bifida, Aaron refused to let that stop his pursuit of thrills, first perfecting the wheelchair-based grind, carve and powerslide before moving onto the fully-fledged backflip, and now, double backflip.

Speaker recommendations?

acemodder — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:19:26 GMT

Hey guys

I want to fit some speakers into my front doors of my Impreza WRX 2001 model.

Any recommendations for around the �60 mark, also something that will fit straight in (dont mind an adaptor kit as I think the default mounting is quite close to the back on the door panel, so think I will need a adaptor to raise them so that the speaker will fit)

Anyone know if these are any good?

Amps and batts in front of subs?

thirdchances — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:11:33 GMT

Hi guys im just working on designing my new install and i have a question. My current plan is to wall the car filling the whole boot and backseat area with the box. However this will still leave me the rear passenger footwells free. Can I put the batteries in a box in these with the amps on top or will the bass destroy them? Thanks.

VW Landsat

mbh69 — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:04:33 GMT

got them on properly today :)

suspension hasn't settled yet as it's been jacked up but lovin the look :)

I have no motivation....

Jonny-5 — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:54:09 GMT

To go out and make an effort to take photos. I simply cannot be bothered to pack up all the gear, get in the car, drive, unpack all the gear, walk around taking 100's of photo's to get home, go through editting and have 10 keepers that I show Em, post on POTN which is pretty pointless too as the threads either get 1 word responses/criticism or if they are in the local thread it moves so fast that shots simply get missed in the torrent of posts (I dont bother asking for C&C on TP anymore), print a couple out for my album and then stick them on a HDD to rot.

I don't get paid for shots and I have no intention of doing so, this is meant to be a hobby.

I am close to selling up, grabbing a Nex5 and an Ipad and being done with it.

Apart from telling me to stop being a miserable **** (:D), anyone got any ideas on this? Anyone else been in this position?
