cant quite see from the pic, but have you sleeved/washered those bolts? Carbon fibre doesn't like concentrated compressive stresses.
looks reet posh
reverie wheel?
Yeh Colin posted the make a few pages back
Should of went for the momo millenium lol
Very Swarve Wheel Colin - Love It
Yet another change of seat (thank to Olly755 for this one), it's 2kg lighter than the previous seats I've had in the car, but more importantly it's a RECARO;

I have more brackets to fabricate to suit this seat, but it will be there until I can find a Reverie carbon fibre seat for sensible money.
Is that your Yellow Nova or Olly's Colin?
It was kevs?
It's mine now, I bought it off Kev on here.Quote:

Very tidy seats!
Many thanks for pointing this out, I had of course got the straps mixed up, this is now corrected. Cheers.Quote:

Colin I can't believe you've drilled that steering wheel wrong.
Sent you email regarding reverie seats Colin :thumb:
Care to explain why its wrong? Bit pointless making a statement like that and not pointing out the mistake!Quote:

The quick rack has now been overhauled, and fitted with rose-jointed track rod ends;

The SCCR gearbox will be going off to a friend who builds these for a check over, and to swap over the LSD's.
I expect to fit the gearbox when the car has a Winter rebuild.
AOL ftw lolQuote:

Not checked on this for a while, looks like it's come on well..
I would like to know what was wrong with the harness's as i was thinking of getting some central crotch straps to pull the lap belt part down across my waist etc..
Also whats wrong with the wheel fitment?
Look forward to the new pics.

In actual fact I'm not with AOL as my Internet provider.Quote:

If the weather is good, I'm lucky to see a download speed of much over 1MB. Upload is an astonishing 0.1MB, again if all is well.
But if it's cloudy, raining, windy or just not feeling like working, it can be much, much worse.
So spare a thought for me when you've got your fibre optic 50MB connections.
It's an absolute farce, living 2 miles away from one of the highest tech air bases in the UK (RAF Coningsby), but unable to get a reliable Internet connection.
Checked the pricing on a 2mile long ethernet cable? lolQuote:

Sounds odd for sattelite connections though, they're normally stupidly good, and worth their ridiculous pricing!
It's a joke, £140 a month for an unreliable and slow service. But I have absolutely no realistic alternative.Quote:

The drill points should be round 180°
are you sure you have your anntenna alligned properly
i do sat comms for a living and we dont have problems like this
Like wise the millions of sky users dont either
WHat size is your antenna?
My wallet just whimpered a bit lol There must be various satellite providers surely? Checked out reviews etc on some competitors? Satellite is the kinda connections IT businesses use to maintain terabyte upon gigabyte of massive servers remotely and as you say, the military... So it's hardly acceptable to be slow and cut out a lot!Quote:

We have Sky as well, and that has only ever played up in really extreme weather conditions.
It's the installation costs which are the real killer, and I got mine installed for free by BT, after they withdrew the previous Internet service I was getting (which was done by radio signal, and was awesome - often up to 8MB).Quote:

its is more than likely a 1.2 meter dish,
What equipment do you have your end?>
Yes weather can effect it a lot but that is not an excuse for poor service it simply wouldnt wash with our customers nor should it with you!
What speeds did they quote you?
Off topic! lol
and yet still interesting enough to keep reading lolQuote:
