if a chat option pops up, i personally wouldnt bother with it.

That's because you aren't an epic whore like some of us here. I'd say that's a 'good' quality to have :)

certainly wont hurt either me being the part time whore on here lol!

Why do we need either of those things on here???

Reasons for not having them:

Anti Blog:

1. This is not a myspace etc. As demonstrated yesterday - if people start blogging, they will abuse it. It will give people a space to write whatever they want for the sake of being an exhibitionist.

2. Moderators will then lose control of standards. If they choose to start moderating users personal blogs, then the whole point of a blog has been lost.

3. Anyone who is friends with anyone on here, probably already knows them in person, or at least has some external contact details. Personal conversations should remain personal - not broadcast on a public forum.

Anti Chatroom:

4. A chat room would limit the discussion only to users who were there at the time. People will get lazy and stop posting constructive messages for all to respond to.

5. A chat room is 'live'. Moderators cannot be present at all times - again, as demonstrated yesterday, some people just love posting whatever they want without prior consideration. Without a moderator, a hectic chatroom will turn into a fight full of:

"omgomglolololz STFU if you dont like STFU leave her alone, helllooooo why wont anyone talk to me, STFU" etc etc

6. Newbies will completely avoid posting messages, and therefore avoid formal flaming. You cannot control so many people at any one time - leaving the chat room open to constant attacks from noobs wanting to sell goods or get 'sik info on turboz' etc.

No Blog, No Chat Room. Keep this place objective :angry:

At first i thought it was a good idea for the chat room...

But after that post there by Leroy, i'd say he has some pretty strong points!

a chat room will allow quicker access to questions and discussions..however I am sort of liking the old forum+posting format as the answers will be more specific and most likely have mature responses.

tough one...

however, I dont know..Iam happy either way lol.....just see what happens

The 'Search' button is the most under-rated function of the entire forum. :toast:

If I can't find the info that I wanted for the Goose, then I'd post. If I knew that the topic had been touched on a little bit before, I'd PM the member who may have an idea and hopefully they would point me in the right direction.

what about if the chat room opened at certain times? chat fest for a few hours! not a 24 hour thing.

I have ran chat rooms before, they are successful if set for certain evenings, it a good laugh.

I am also looking into a Wiki so that all the useful stuff will get archived in the wiki such as How to's and tips.

I know i promised this lot a while ago but i still have serious internet issues and awaiting a new cable to be laid through my garden. I need to ensure my net access is reliable as i have to upgrade the boards first, then blog, gallery update.. with these issues, if it messes up halfway then could have some issues with the forum software and be messy. Plus i am getting such poor upload speeds its crazy.

So I will probably try and do most in one day over a weekend when i have time to be around to fix any issues.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
