BRT is talking about this part...

Quote from T10 Blog :

Preliminary numbers on the car pack are also encouraging, which is always good news for the community since, better sales on DLC mean more support for future DLC. And there’s DLC support coming in spades. Jan. 12, 2010 marks the release date of our next DLC car pack. In similar fashion to what we did during the lead-up of the Hot Holidays Car Pack reveal, we’ll be showing off spy shots for the cars in the pack and letting you guys battle it out – with prizing involved, of course.

Howdy!

We are a very friendly bunch here at LFS Forum. If you have any troubles, don't be afraid to ask for some help. Just make sure it is in the right section so people can find it.

Oh, and avoid "The Very End". He is the Forums famed drunk.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Can't wait to have a race with some LFS'ers but I'm afraid that will have to wait until after March, maybe even April.

Just FYI so you don't have to bother changing it when you get Xbox Live, don't put your Gamertag as BlueFlame. Someone has already used it.

Me and beefyman66 were in GTA4 once, and it said someone called BlueFlame has joined. I instantly went "Ehm, are you by any chance BlueFlame from LFSF?" while chanting "please no please no ()" but luckily, it was some American dude.

LMAO I beg to differ

here the link that say other wise. http://www.drivingenthusiast.n ... /cougar-st200/default.htm

The reason why i know they have been built is because I have a family member who lives in GB and owns a a Cougar ST200.

Hmm, my post went away.

Anyway, your full of bullshit.

That link you posted is an old statement from ford BEFORE they pulled out of making it. The only way you could make a normal Ford Cougar upto a Mondeo ST200 standard was to fit the ST200 Throttle Body, Air Intake Manifold and Cam & Valves (The Mondeo ST200 is basically a Contour SVT. Just a slightly different rear end.).


Wiki Link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F ... gar_uk#Seventh_generation

Quote from Wiki :

A high-performance Cougar S (not to be confused with the concept) was discussed in the press, which was essentially a Cougar with a Contour SVT engine; however, this version never made it into production. The Cougar S was so close to production however that many of its parts are still available to order from the dealership. It is listed in many parts catalogs and insurance databases. It was also to be sold in Europe as the Ford Cougar ST200.

Notice how the car came with just a 2.0L Zetec, and a 2.5 V6 putting out just 170hp, not 200hp like the ST200.

So yeah, to sum up, your bullshitting. Your relative in the UK may own a Cougar, but he doesn't own a Cougar ST200. Feel free to post up some pictures though...Oh wait, you won't have any.

It doesn't seem to have Forced Induction either.

450hp would be a VERY impressive (and hard) figure to get out out of a N/A M3 engine, whether it was a 3.0 or 3.2.

How good are "blowers"? I've never heard of them before, let alone use one. How do they work? From looking at that eBay ad, i take it they fix in an empty space in the case (luckily, i have one right next to the card) and then you plug them in and they blow air through? Is the RPM for the internal fan adjustable?

That's a bloody mental price!

DABS were selling them for £115 brand new, but they seem to have removed them now.

Thanks, I will check that out.

As you can see in the picture, the lead would go above the heat sink and then into a 2-pin connector. It would then screw into the heat sink with 3 tiny screws in a triangular shape.

EDIT: The one in the link you posted looks like it might work, although the casing for the plug looks a little chunky. I will place a bid on it later and see whether it works or not.

Thanks!

Suuurrre you will.

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

Posting LFS mods is illegal yes even if its only a movie.

Yeah, be careful. You will goto prison for using a mod! OMGZ

I don't really want a domestic fan have to be stuck there on my desk.

I would rather it was the same size fan as the previous one so that i could plug it straight in and put the card back in. Here is a picture of the card for reference.

Oh hai guys!

I need some help with a Graphics Card. I have a computer at work which i use for work (ofcourse) and a little FPS and LFS occasionally for those boring Saturday mornings.

The card was originally in my dads computer. Somehow, the card got so incredibly hot, that the base of the fan distorted, making the fan catch the heat sink and stopping, causing the card to overheat and bring up artifacts.

I've since had the card, and it works fine (i tried it without the fan. Works great until it overheats again due to the lack of a fan) but i need something to cool it. I'm pretty sure the plug on the card still works, but i need a fan or some sort of cooling.

So my question is, where can i find something to cool it efficiently so it can be used for gaming again? Is it possible to fit aftermarket fans or coolers to this card?

If not, what would be the best card i could buy for around £40? Needs to be AGP / AGP 8x.

PC SPECS:
CPU: Intel P4 3GHz.
GPU: PNY Nvidia 7600GS 256mb
Memory: 80GB HD. 512mb RAM.
PSU: AC Input 100-240V. DC Output 250watts max.

Frenchy

My door's dont freeze shut that much so there easy to open. I did successfully break my door handle though.

It still works, but it's hanging on by a thread. They already had some small cracks from years of expanding/shrinking from the sun, so they needed to be replaced anyway. Luckily, there only about £25 for four.

Quote from shaun463 :

It would seem there are a few Cougar ST200s around, but they did not go into major production. And we know the Astra is crap yes, but the new one will be good competition. The Zafira is very flexible for families due to the seating. The Insignia is not actually that bad. Just not as good as the Mondeo.

I would love to know where you have seen a Cougar ST200, as they were never put into production AT ALL.

I seriously doubt you have seen more than one, let alone one on the public roads.

And yes, the Insignia is an improvement over the previous Vectra, but it is nowhere near as good as it's rivals in terms of driving enjoyment and general quality.

Oh don't worry. I'm tempted everytime i open the Garage up to get something and it's staring at me.

I may bring it out again if the snow holds off a little, but for now, it's staying put.

A part of the suspension pierced his brain? Crikey. That must of taken some force. I thought he died from his brain hitting his skull due to the impact.

And FYI, don't be so certain you are wrong. It may well be me that is wrong.

Oxygen to the Muscles??

Whagh?!

E: From what i understand, the flinching is from the last of the electric pulses from your brain (the pulses are like little messages from your brain to your muscles, telling them what to do) "draining out" as the Brain's oxygen and blood supply will be depleting.

I could be terribly wrong though.

There is a video of Aryten Senna (sp) on YouTube showing his fatal crash. You can still see him twitching in his car even after he was killed from his brain hitting his skull. Horrible.

Hehe! That's pretty funny.

All the people shouting "Take that PD. FM3 kicked your ass!" in the comments is pathetic though. Seems people can't even enjoy a light hearted video of a funny glitch without turning it into a flame war.

Maybe because he does not want salt grit ruining his paintwork and undercarriage which could then lead to rust.

I've done the same with my M3 and Mondeo. I had my fun in the snow last night, but they have both been cleaned, covered up, and tucked into the Garage until the weather gets better. I still have my Girlfriends MX-5 (Alot more people here with MX-5's than i imagined?) to mess about in if i fancy some RWD fun again.

It's good to have fun on your own (polish roads map is quite cool) but the mods can be quite suckish. You will spend hours downloading all the cars you want, only to find they get corrupted when used in certain versions of Racer.

Just a little note for any of you who frequent FM3 online.

Avoid ANYONE with the team name "ScALD". I was racing these guys 2 nights ago with 2 other friends of mine, and they ram you and block the track if you are faster than them. It's a shame, as at first, me and my friends were having very good battles with them, and there not bad drivers in terms of skill (there also very high ranks too) but they seem to get upset if you are faster than them.

So yeah, sorry to name and shame, but i just thought i would let you guys know as a warning, as it really annoyed me and my buddys.

You forgot to mention yourself in there Jordan.

Snowing here! About 2 inches.

I hope it's still there tomorrow morning or it snows again tomorrow night. I really want to go outside and get my Doriftooo on, but I've had some beer tonight, and the missus has had a drink to so i can't go out.

They might be a little tricky to park in Tescos.
