I'm trying to avoid fragmenting the for sale areas for the moderators sake at the moment. Before I made it absolutely mandatory some people couldn't even manage to remember to put their location in so what hope do we have of them being able to categorise items correctly? I don't use the for sale area so I tend not to see the issues there but if this is what people genuinely want then I'll find a way to make it work. I can't really justify using data and server resources for this, particularly when a lot of page refreshes will go unviewed. Theres probably a firefox plugin that will do it for you >|. I might consider revamping the front page with some ajax polling for the topics in the future. I'm assuming its the topics you're refreshing it for?

This. If you use standard spanners you'll round those little bastards every time.

Alright lets do this. I'd actually love to do something like that, but I'm a bit short on time to code something for Rollaclub to have it ready in time. Not real keen on integrating someone elses comp either. Maybe next year :no2:

This is all I could think of when I read the topic...

So I'm thinking about running a tipping competition, just for fun, based on all motorsports for this year. Obviously a few events have gone already but things really start to ramp up this month and theres still a good 8 months worth of Motorsport to go. I'm hoping we can tip on at least one event a week. I'm thinking events like F1, WRC, V8 Supercars, Super GT and MotoGP will be included regularly with some other less well known events filling in the gaps. For the winner(s) I've got some RC stickers (yay!). Points wise, the format may change slightly depending on how many events we cover that week but I think it will be like this. You pick the 1st 2nd and 3rd. For each of those that are in the top 3 you get a point. For each of those in the correct position you get a bonus point and if you get all 3 in the correct order you get another bonus point. So that would give you a total of 7 points for picking the podium in the absolute correct order. Along with that then there might be a couple of extra "random" questions such as, Who will qualify 1st (or Xth), who will finish Xth, who will crash out first, how many cars will DNF etc. Maybe bonus points if you pick an Aussie or a Toyota and they win? I'll make sure I make the scoring clear for each week. People are welcome to join and leave as they choose throughout the year. Theres no need to signup, you can enter any week just by submitting an entry. Entries will be posted in a special forum with all replies on mod review so they'll be hidden until entries close. Then you can discuss peoples picks over the weekends motorsport in another thread. So thats the idea, anyone interested? Suggestions welcome.

bwhahahahaha good luck with that! But in all seriousness clubbys got their market spot on. Tax write off, abuse it till it breaks, trade it on another one. It'd be cheaper than leasing a decent ute.

Apparently don't do shit! http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/22748911/detail.html Should I be surprised a pissweak metal spacer which did nothing to address the root of the problem hasn't solved the problem? Cue re-recall.

I think tojos on the money. Makes more sense to have a 151E in a TE27 than a 137E too.

Developer released a new version that does work with my preferred server (yay!) but if left open overnight it memory leaks and then proceeds to DoS my server (floods it with unterminated connections). So yea big NO to that software at the moment. Might revisit it later. What I might do is offer as many options as possible that are compatible with each other and then you can make the decision about which one to use. Heres one of the previous ones I showed overlaid on a Rollaclub iframe. The windows move around within the browser window. You can collapse them to create more room without closing them.

And that doesn't look like win98se to me! :P

$19,990 ute = knockoff 4Y $26,990 ute = licenced 4G69 making a pathetic 100kw. You can bet they'd rip off the 4G too if mitsubishi didn't have their fist so far up canberras arse. From what I can gather some of the more expensive SUVs they sell in europe have an actual mitsubishi engine, no doubt due to emissions, but we certainly don't have them here (yet).

I think you underestimate just how expensive a crate engine and gearbox is, even with volume discounts. Considering these things are selling for $18k on road, in my opinion, its not possible to have a Japanese motor in it. Besides, each of those companies has their own ute. Why would you dilute the market even further? They'd make more money by NOT supplying engines and keeping this vehicle from having any ounce of credibility. The only one I might believe is Isuzu but I still doubt it.

I seriously doubt any of those companies provide jack shit. They'll all be knock off designs. How would it possibly be in their best interest to provide drivetrains for this POS?

and it's STILL going to be twice as good and about a million times more reliable. I can't believe there's people stupid enough to buy these pieces of crap!

Just get an OEM version :yes: I'll PM you a link. Harvey Norman is extortion.

Dude, just set the date back a few months. At least you didn't have to reinstall 3 systems :yes: And 200 for which version :hmm: You don't really need ultimate unless you need some of the niche features it offers. Pro should be enough for most enthusiasts and Home should easily cover everyone else. You can pickup home for about $120.

Oh god forbid you blow your engine! Yes, hitting that wall at 100mph is a MUCH better alternative. As for the design changes, meh, boo hoo, you'll all get over it. Were you really going to buy a new Corolla/Camry/whatever anyway? Judging by the number of new corollas I see around here I seriously doubt it.

Downhill ever since??

So the systems been in place for a bit over a month now. How is it working? Do you find it useful? Are the Risk-o-Meter ratings helpful/meaningful? Anything that needs to be looked at?

IMO, probably front but why not both? I have a wider track in the rear of my silvia, just by the nature of the rims I'm currently running. On the track the car tends to pitch towards the outside front which makes for difficult traction on corner exit. at the moment I'm running 17x7.5 +32ish on the front and 17x9+42ish on the rear. A heavier swaybar made negligible difference. If I ever get off my arse and put the turbo back on I've got 17x9+30s to go on all round. I have tried the 17x9+30s in place of the +42s on the rear and it seemed to push even more, but that may be because the +30s have slicks on. Going by the difference a little bit of track increase all round made on my corolla to rolling and pitching I'd expect a significant behavioral change in the front of the silvia with the 17x9+30s on there. </rambling>

http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?showforum=102 I didn't forget, honest!

Yea. Basically it saves me having to run 40 SQL querys every time someone looks at a forum index. If I do it using AJAX you only have to run 1 maybe 2 SQL queries (one to get the data perhaps another to check permissions) when someone mouses over a topic. Makes more sense than doing 40 SQL queries when less than 10 or maybe zero of them are actually going to be used. Of course theres other ways of doing it but I think AJAX probably makes the most sense. Reduces data consumption and CPU cycles. Lemme get the chat thing out of the road first. If I start taking on multiple projects I wont get anything finished.

Means you can test drive and saves getting a tow truck or trailering the car. Drive the car to the buyers house and take the plates off. Legally though I suspect with the way the laws worded suggests that if your advertising for sale a car that is currently registered you are supposed to have a safety certificate. Who ever came up with the law is obviously unaware of how many registered cars are advertised and subsequently sold as unregistered.
