  1. chiilax man, Light hearted humour never killed anyone.
  2. you mean after all you quality copy and paste wok on how you were the Don on engines, you dont know this..... Well now. Oil not only acts as a Lubricant, it acts as a coolant. If your oil temperature is too high, the engine temperature will rise. Now in most cars this is taken car of by the cooling system, but in tuned/faster cars the cooling system cant cope with all the extra strain on its own, so the oil needs to be cooled. Also engine oil is designed to change viscosity at differning temperatures. Thats where you get the rating from. 15W40 this denotes the oils viscosity when freezing and when hot. If oil is allowed to get to hot, ie compensating for the cooling systems poor performance, it will become airated, and will not be able to efficiently lubricate. There for an oil cooler is used to control the temperature of the oil. Now it doesnt need to be cooled alot, thats why oil coolers are small, just enough to keep it hot enough to flow well, and cool enough not to airate.....
  3. thefrapprteam@frappr.com from this address. Saying that there was new pictures, and new members on trials forum since I last checked. I wasnt aware I ever checked for new members and pics. It had 2 files it wanted me to download, yea like f**k im doing that
  4. no it wouldnt owrk, as Mobile phone companys dont charge for use of the internet, but for what you download. IE web pages, songs ect. So you will be charged for downloading the page, then the file. And phones only veiw pages by downloading them
  5. Yea its the engine Valves. I forgot about points. Make sure they are new befoer you go and take a few spare sets and some condensors when you go. If your dad knows mechanics he should be able to sort you out with some info If you do need any technical help, just add me to msn and ask
  6. well now your interested, got fourth and create
  7. So your telling me that you have never been out riding, been concentrating aot on what your doing, to stop and find a crowd of people have gathered? Happens to me alot. Im not going to spend all the time im out watching over my shoulder
  8. theres no point in listening to what 1/2 these people are saying. "when you see them walking towards you move one" Because 1/2 the time you dont notice them walking over, I know I dont. I mean you cant ride off every time someone happens to need to walk past you. Yes, what ever you do you will get chavs asking questions, and trying shit. All I do is: "oi how much is your bike worth??" - "What the f**k has it got to do with you?" "what can you do on it?" - "what are you a f**king policeman??" "can I have a go?" - "no f**k off!!" Be blunt. Ok, its not so easy when its 6 big bastards to 2 of you, but then you need to be tactfull, and know when to just move. Unfortunatly this is what we get for wanting to have some fun in our lives, and working hard to pay for what we want. There will allways be some twat who cant be assed and just wants it the easy way. Last time someone tried to ride off on my bike, I simply grabed the rear wheel with my hand and pulled it back as hard as I could. They flew over the bars, and twated the stem on the way. Then if need be, kick them in the face so they wont forget

    Engine!

    yay, you can use copy and paste, joy to you. Now come back when you have an engine, youve built, worth showing us.....
  10. nope, this is a video comp. Doent matter where you are from. Hell, if you can make a feild of corn look amazing for trials you Win
  11. Obviously try and get as little of them in as possible. If any of them look to be specificly placed, your video will be withdrawn. Yes, that would be cool. You could come up with a very good advert with some well taken pictures, and a nice soundtrack.....
  12. Yes, you can have a group of riders sitting on their bikes, as long as they arent riding. And if you mean riding past, or generaly riding along, yes, like I say, as long as there is NO TRIALS or any other sort of stunt/skilled riding. just remeber, its about the location, not the riders

    Jonny. THAT f**kING SMACKS IT
  14. HA HA, well now. Glad to see theres an interest. Well then, let the games begin. Just remeber the rules, and we should all have a good swim.....
  15. well I would normaly use Bit-torrent, but sometime I find that I cant find what I wnat, or when I do, the torrent doesnt work. So thats when I try E-donkey.
  16. if you do, can you tell me how to set it up, so my download speeds are higher than 7k. they allways seem to be very low, even with lots of seeds. the highest ive ever seen is 30k, and thats on 2MB Broadband. So, how to make it quicker than walking to Iraq?
  17. Ok, Ive come up with an Idea for a NEW style of Video competition. Its quite simple really. The idea is to make a short video Promoting your local area of riding. IE, Worthing, Bristol, Swindon ect. These videos can then be used by riders who are tempted to ride a new place, but want to know what is there 1st. Here be the rules: 1) The videos MUST NOT contain any riding. You can have veiws of riderless bikes sitting about. This is to make it fair, as some people will be biased towards places with better riders. 2) The video must be from your Local riding are. IE, dont travel 100 Miles to Pathcrawl when you dont live there, just to get a good video. 3) It must only be about you local are. IE you can not include other riding locations that might be very close together, but suburbs of towns are ok. IE Worthing, can incude Durrington on sea, and East Worthing ect, but cannot incude Brighton, shoreham. You get it? 4) This is a promotional video to create interest in the areas for riding, not to show people who, and how good they are on a bike. 5) try to get as much variety of the place as you can, dont just shoot scenes from the Street. Look for Natural, Street, Park, all sorts of variation. There is no real cash prize for the winner, this is for Fun. The Prize for the winner can be the Joy of Having The xWxYxCx coming to their zone and riding with them for the day. The closing date for entries is the end of Feb, seeing as the weather is a but crap for riding, you can have some time to get promoting for the summer. All entries will be judged by me, as im not biased towards anyone/where. That and I dont care for all the artsy stuff, so the winner will be the video that best captures the essence of the area. Have fun
  18. Good taste, although I do prefer a MK Escort Twink My personal Favorite car would be a 1969 Ford Mustang GT350, with an SS conversion. only 3 ever made.
  19. Simon thats where you could be wrong. Ive seen people, and even met people who SPEAK like this in real life. ie, instead of saying "ha thats funny" they would actaully just say lol Even going to the extend of saying - pwnd - Leet - haxors ect in public, in general conversation. Rest asured, they recived a full, and proper mocking

    Quiz Thingy.

  21. Well seeing as youve got a MK2, you may not need to bother. Just make sure the carb you have is NOT a VV. This was Fords attempt at making a carb, it was sheer genius in principle, but they were built very badly, and fail at the drop of a hat. Thats not something you want to go wrong. If you could get a photo of the carb with the Airbox off, ill let you know if it is or not. Thats if you Buy Sidedrafts, and that would be an excessivly bad choise to put on this car. The engine wont be man enough to cope with them. To use them they would need to invest alot of money, and time and take it to a rolling road to have it all set up at the end. Best bet would be to find a fiesta owners club, or forum, and find out what carbs are compatabke as repacements Ford Often used the same manifold for many carbs, specing Webers on higher powered, same engined cars. You might find it has a Weber, or a solex on it, which will be fine, you may find that alot of fiesta owners put a certain carb on, for reliablility, more power and ease of repair. Something like a 28-28, or 28-32 at a push. Like I say, ask about on a fiesta forum, you may find the carb on there is Good enough. Last note, make sure you give the engine a Good service before going. Espeacialy make sure you adjust the valve clearences on those crossflow engines, its an easy task, and will make a world of differnce to driveability and ecconomy if they are correct.
  22. Right, as a motor vehicle technician, heres my veiw. You want a car that has a chain driven engine. Too much risk of a belt breaking on the journey. The car needs to be extreemly simple, and easy to fix, so no high tech fuel injection. The car needs to be versatile, and robust, have a good amount of load space, and be adaptable. My personal choise would be an old 997cc Ford Fiesta. Change the carb to a weber for reliability and your away. These cars are extreemly simple, and easy to repair when anything fails, which doesnt happen offen. A nice roof rack, and even a bonnet rack could be used. Of course get the 5 door version. Ive been looking on the site, and this is something I would love to do, If I had the time and money, but I dout Work woll give me 4 weeks off, and raising £3k (about as much as you would need for the whole lot) isnt easy for me. My advise would be, take lots of spare fuses, at least 2 of each used in the car, do the same with relays, and bulbs. Take 4 spare wheels, and make sure they all have good tyres, cheap for a fiesta. Give the car a Thorough Service before leaving, New oil, All filters, Fit a fuel filter, plugs and leads. Take spare spark plugs, leads, all filters, oil, petrol,water,toolkit, the obvious gear really. It might be worth taking a few air filters, and a pair of tights, as all the dust is going to clog them pretty quick. (the tights are usd to make a gauze over the mouth of the filter box) Also take spare fan belt, and you can use a pair of tights if you get despirate. Keep coke cans, and take loads of cable ties and jubilee clips. You never know when they will come in handy, like a broken exhaust. theres loads of tircks out there, use them all to the fullest.
  23. solved. it was a windows error. Theres a suprise. Shit Bill gates, you twat. Had to re-instal windows and start again. Now its fine
  24. Thats where your wrong. He is now officialy Know as Mannings. This is all to do with NASS last year, where nicknames are born. Like Diet Simon, Mannings, and "Shit ben look out, bottle" If you dont want to end up with a stupid drunken nickname, dont come to NASS
  25. yes I have direct x 9.0c, and the latest drivers for all components on my PC. This sucks
