Does the Bandai VF-25 says fully transformable? It look pretty good, I bet it will be priced at MG level, arn't they making the non-transformable too?

I still have a few of those $20 W0s

I only waited a year for it

Now I'm the geek here, but I do coding on a Sun9 all day long (I think is 1.2GHz? single processor), the PS3 -- I think what my geek friend said -- has a 9 core processor, core one handle all the threading for the rest, each at around 3GHz. I run things at command prompt, jobs run a lot faster. Running Java appl is another story, since after all the overhead there is only around 210 mb or so of system memory, the perform real suck sometimes. I have Ubuntu on a p3 1GHz with 1Gb of ram and its is painfully slow. I mainly use XP at home.

YDL + usb keyboard + mouse will make your PS3 work just like a linux box, but a heck lot faster. If you are not running web server, db server, or java development you will be very happy. So far we've tried Apache Tomcat and Jboss seems fine, coding in C and Java are great. However, since the available memory for jvm is usually only around 200mb, some J2EE package will crash the box. There is also no working 64 bit jvm available that I know of, so you will be using the 32 bit one, it's nothing wrong I think but just not as fast. Sun does not seems like they would build a 64 bit jvm for the cell processor at this time, they want you to buy their servers.... I've never put hd content other than bd and games with ps3, so maybe someone can answer that? swap out the 60gb with one as big as you can get, won't hurt. I don't think OS X would work right out of the box on PS3, same reason Windows wouldn't, there are a few more free linux builds out there that have been proven to work on ps3. I suppose Apple would run a new build for their OS for cell processors someday??

I was just wondering, thx.

what else did HG ever do anyway?

if you go too fast, people can't see whose driving.

will this flow your boat sir?

yeah, wrong thread

does anyone know if there is any way to add system memory to a ps3?

and transportation and deliveries need fuel too, so does packaging and so on, it's part of the cost of everyday life. oil prices does affect more than our driving habits.

along with just about everything else.

actually my did the rrod about a week after I got it, luckily unplug from the outlet fixed it.

I had a z32 back in college, it was quick and handling was great as long as the road was dry. back then the 240sx were the best handling car in its class up until they stop selling them here, actually handling was better than the z. I have never driven one either, but knew a couple of people had them and rode in their cars sometimes. I'm in the deep south so the weather is very nice (hot) a lot, drifting is not big around there if anything *legal*. lately some street race ran over a couple of people in the area, so police is watching everyone. I think Sivlia's and the last gen GTR's are one of the most handsome car nissan ever made.

deadghost, just wonder where u at? how do those S's drive? weren't the JDM and US versions different?

easy off takes care of the enamel, a little acrylic, and might turn lacquer into a mess. other than enamel, safest thing to do is find out what brand and type of paint and wipe of with their thinner. you'll know when to stop.

I've got 128k on my camry, never had any problem at all.

here is some good reading. news

Totally off topic here.... my car just turn 10k. sorry the last pix was too big.

it's GTA:Medieval.

Mr Surfacer is very good primer, and touch up after the putty

brush strokes happen because the paint is drying too fast and too thick, before the days of retarder, we thin the paint and remember to brush in the same direction for one (thin) coat wait until it's somewhat dry, then apply the next coat across the direction of the previous coat. repeat as needed. air brush ready paints are generally too thin for hand brushing. do it right the result can be almost as good as air brush.

just the cat back stuff, thinking borla, nismo, or stillen, the headers by themselves go for $700 or so, might as well get new cats with them but I need to find out if the high flow cats are legal around here. I don't plan on going all out anyway.

I have cold air intake in mine how, it claims to add about 10hp at red line. I don't know about that, but the engine is cooler and the low to mid range power has improved.. getting more power sooner. my next thing is the intake plenum spacer, which should be adding between 10-15 hp (again at red line). all for less than $500 and won't void warranty - according to the stealership's service manager. 1G in exhaust could adding another 20 ponies, but that will have to wait a bit, if I decided (have the money?) to do it.
