    Boot security?

    Unless amps are a tad weird, I woulda thought the reverse was true :D Electricity conducts better at lower temperatures = faster, better connections. Thats why all of the current research in super conducters is done with sub-zero systems, and trying to find ways of porting that into home...

    Boot security?

    I dunno how everyone else has done it, but i'd make a frame out of two by one (bigger if you wanted to put more inside it, 3 by 2 or 4 by two) a simple box frame with a triangular bracket to help strengthen it. Then use at least 6mm mdf - question of weight versus strength at that point. Fit...

    Boot security?

    Not sure about the K11, but it took me less than ten seconds to pop the lock on my K10 when I locked meh keys inside. :glance: Basically these days if a professional wants to get into your car, he will get in, end of subject. Alarms, etc are just a way of making your car slightly less...

    K10 Max Power (split)

    Ah, so as I understand it the initial release of exhause gases from one of the cylinders creates a wave front, helping to push out the gases from the cylinder that previously released its exhaust gases helping speed it along and out of the car? I take it the fairly narrow bore of the exhaust...

    What happens if you dont declare your Mods?

    admiral did me for £490 TP, F&T with everything declared. They also dont want anything else for the mods im hoping to do soon, but I think thats mainly because I acted a tad dim about cars. "Hi, the garage told me I need new suspension because one of the old shock absorbers is cracked." "Is it...

    Paul = Jack Black?

    I prefer the song that starts "This is a song for the ladies, but fellas, listen closely..." I'd put the title up, but really dont wanna get told off for it :D

    Removing Crap in plug ports

    I used a hand held vac with a straw taped to the end to vacum bits out of awkward places (admittedly usually in side computers!) and a can of compressed gas to help blast the dirt loose - the cans usually come with a long thin staw attached to make it easy to get into narrow places. Would...

    Heated Mirrors in a K10!

    As a suggestion Sammo, look for oven door repair glue, some DIY shops might sell it, and you can get some that resists a really high temperature. Theres also some versions that are resistant to electricity, which would probably be a good idea. http://www.cotronics.com sells the stuff but its...

    Heated Mirrors in a K10!

    From what I can read of the ad, the mat has glue on one side for the mirror glass, not sure if has glue on the otherside to attach it back to the frame tho, but it says the flips side is protected against the heat getting too high, so you could probably use a decent epoxy resin to put it back...

Im considering going with Napit or Elecsa for my part p...

    Passed my exams.

    Heh, that's already started, tho a lot of it is "XYZ wants garden lights, how much would you charge?" to which i normally reply, "well, its a special location, and i'd need to run SWA cable, which is pricey, plus the lights are expensive, so its gonna be quite pricey." "Oh thats ok, they just...
