So after a brief stint in an Audi TT RS, I decided to reduce my car running costs and find a fun car once more - while the TT was quick, it was just too serious and devoid of feedback.
So this Mini turned up at the local Mini dealership, 1 owner, only 32k and well specced. After a quick test...
I have a Haswell MBP retina - when it was running Mavericks OS X everything was smooth, snappy and quick - however, ever since i've updated to Yosemite I find that everything's so laggy, scrolling, the UI, Safari has to constantly be quit and re-opened - it's really ruining the Apple experience...
Finally finished the car tonight (started it on Sunday!) - the high temps this week meaning I was working on it early morning and late evening.
Wearing a coat of Opti-Coat 2.0, which will be followed by RaceGlaze 55 and Sonax BSD next week.

After the R26 i'd finally had enough of french hot hatch ownership - it was never ending trouble!
Been after a soft top for a few years, the choice was between S2000 and Z4 0 but the S2K had a ludicrous tax band (after 06), and insurance rates - so much so my current insurance company classed...
Thought it a good idea to post this rather than clog up the HT thread.
So what have you got incoming? What have you watched recently and your review?
I currently have a few to watch and am churning through The Pacific right now - very crisp transfer and hefty audio makes it a rather good...
Looking for an NAS storage device to store backups / video / music / photos that I can stream to my Android phone, AV receiver, macbook, TV - it also needs to be compatible with Mavericks OSX for time machine backup.
So i'm looking at the Synology DS112J NAS -...
As I won't be able to use the surround sound system much for gaming, it struck me that a decent set of hi fi headphones would suit me - but looking further it seems a set of pseudo surround headsets with chat function integrated will be my best bet.
What do you guys use currently and what are...
Blatantly copied and pasted from AVforums, but would like your opinions too :)
Currently having a refresh of my HC system as it's dug out of storage. The speakers to be driven are :
- Quad 11L2 fronts
- Quad L2 Centre
- Quad Lite surrounds
- KEF PSW2010 subwoofer
The living room size is 3m x...
Anyone here done it before or know the basic ins and outs?
Basically i'm after purchasing the Panasonic TX-P50VT65B from JL, which they have priced at £1799.
However i've found it at TPS Manchester and RGB direct (both reputable suppliers and both in stock w/actual stores too) for £1599 and...
As per the title really. I'm considering purchasing the 55" version of this TV which seems to be the best panel on sale right now. Blows even the best edge lit LCD panel out of the water in terms of black levels and motion capturing - along with achieving AV forums 'reference status'
Not had...
Spotted you about an hour ago just pulling away from the lights near Sainsburys - noticed the CS sticker in the rear window.
Was behind you in the black R26 :).
I know this is for my Megane R26 but I figured you guys would be the best to help me here.
The entire rear view mirror assembly fell off yesterday when I was cleaning the glass. No biggy I thought, so applied silicone sealant (aquarium grade) and reattached the whole unit - no joy.
Second...
I'm wanting to respray the badges / bullets on the R26 - and am after Plasti-Dip gunmetal grey (aerosol version).
However, Plasti-Dip UK don't have either Gunmetal Grey or Smoke in stock - and no reply to stock enquiries so far..
Any suggestions?
Or even another brand that allows the badges...
More a progress thread on the R26 paintwork correction.
I'm taking this panel by panel due to A) Time constraints and B) Being slow.
So, I started with the bonnet - rinshed, washed, rinsed, Iron X, Tardis and CYC fine clay (with LT as lube).
Not much contamination left :

After having owned my 197 a matter of days, it seems to have developed a very dull but also rather obvious knock / thud noise which is apparent when going over uneven road surfaces / potholes and sometimes speedbumps and 'seems' most apparent at lower speeds.
I don't however think it's the...
2009 was a decent year for games, but this year i'm wondering what games you lot are most looking forward to being released this year?
I only have two so far:S :
God of War 3
Final Fantasy XIII
So go on, what do you guys predict as this years big games?

(Note only the bonnet has been done)
ABout 50 - 60% correction I'd say, not bad but...
As per the title, (I am accessing the net from my dads laptop atm) last night a rogue program called Antivirus Pro 2009 appeared on my computer, producing pop ups, security alerts and every time I accessed the internet would redirect me to their site to purchase said rogue software. After...
My black cupra is swirled to f*ck, and as therse kestrel kits are on offer atm, it seems a good time to buy one.
As its VAG paint I think i'm going for a 'hard paint' kit, however I cannot choose between this one on Polshed Bliss ...
