Quote from faster111 :

Faster111 is famous for what?

Don't think you are, but you were known for not listening to lfs members advise and recommendations when you ask for help.

Quote from nutty boy :

You don't know how much one person is to the LFS community. Faster111 is famous. You don't like it then don't post here.

Don't jump to conclusions, where does it state I "don't like it."

Quote from faster111 :

I got a new power pack becuase the old one didint have the power to power the new card geforce7300GT. so yeah am back.

Oh goody... we are so excited to see you online!! WOW!! /end sarcasm

Count me in for that, im certainly interested.

Do you happen to know the name of that program?

I started to notice this myself, and it's become more common for the moment.
When on a straight, on any car, I notice that the wheel is slightly turned, telling itself as it is infact straight, and because of it, it acts like that the whole race.. Does anyone have this problem? Is there a way to solve it to stop that from happening?

Lol yeah, I was wondering what that was.

At least something is being done about it .

Quote from Scawen :

Well... twice.

There was one incident recently - either the router or the modem just needed a restart, for no apparent reason, it just needs to be rebooted every six months or so.

And today, something completely different, totally my fault as I was changing some router settings. Sorry about that. Hopefully the hosts will all gradually come back online now over a few minutes.

Thanks Scawen .

Exactly! .

Thank you mate .

What is the recommended program to make GIF files. Hopefully programs that are free of charge.

Yes, it has a little, if I was late, I would drive a bit faster, and be more confident in taking the corners, without worrying if I lose control of it.

And because of instinct reactions on racing games over the years *before I got into LFS* It's adapted to my driving, and I am able to be more calm, collected, when doing emergency brakings.

Quote from faster111 :

How much ram will anyone need for running lfs.

You've had the game since December, yet you haven't done any mileage, and cause a lot of bother to other members... meh I'll tell you what I use.

I use PC3200 2.0GB MB. It's recommended to have a minimum of 512 RAM MB.

Quote from Hyperactive :

If he was driving 60mph into a corner on public roads, he was obviously going too fast.

Correctomondo!

Indeed I was going too fast. Anyways, I'm saving up my money for Knockhill for driving in a Formula car, that will get rid of my feel for speed in a public car .

I had a free tyre check on all 4 tyres at Kwik-fit/ Two fronts are in need for replacement, the right is 2 x 2 x 1.6mm tread. The other is a 3 x 3 x 2mm tread, but has a cut on the side *which now explains my very slow puncture*
Unfortunately it would cost me 160 for all 4 michelin tyres and fit *gulp* and 90 quid for just the two fronts.

Also the 3 tyres *one spare* are dated back from 1990, but have grip, but are conisered to replace due to age, any recommendations? Keep the tyres, or save up, and replace them asap?

My Dad got tyres, slightly used, where it was near "brand spanking new" and the tyre trends are very high, and grip is very worthy. £20 quid per tyre, which includes installation.

The company is popular, with regular queues for new tyres, so its worth looking at. So I'll give them a go.

I thank for all your help, and experience, much appreciated .

Quote from sinbad :

Sounds like the fronts are in serious need of retirement. Don't ignore the rears though, even if they are still legal.

Running different tyres front and rear is not advisable, and running what I imagine are older/partly worn rear tyres (possibly cheap ones, I don't know) in conjunction with brand-new decent fronts will give you a problem which is the absolute opposite of the one you described in your first post. I.e oversteer. Sounds like fun I know, but when a motorway suddenly gets wet and there's an uneasy light sensation at the rear, in a straight line, it's not so much fun.

If you can stretch to it, I strongly advise you to change all 4.

I can afford that, so no worries, better safe than sorry. But the two rears don't even look worn, they look new. Which is why I was only worrying on keeping the front two changed. If I get oversteer, *since I know the car too well, I'll know when its about to oversteer.* then I'll change the rear tyres also.

Quote from Becky Rose :

reconstituted rubber is deadly in the wet. That's the difference.

Touche!

New tyres it is. I got a good bet that 2 fronts will be changed, one has a very slow puncture, the other tyre is worn out on the sides.

Is it recommended to get new tyres, or reconditioned tyres? Whats the difference between the two?

Quote from danowat :

When I got it, it had Dunlop D207's on it, and they were shite, was very unstable on fast m'way sections, and was a nightmare in the wet.

I got a set of Michelen (sp) Pilot Road's fitted, and they are brilliant, quick to heat up, great grip in both the dry and the wet.

Dan,

I tend to get new Michilen tyres for the Astra if the tread is close to the 1.6mm. Just for the fronts anyway.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Might be worth a look.

Agreed, I'll take it to a Kwik-Fit garage after college, and see their views.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Seriously, what is the matter with you? You call me Croc Boy, Snake Lover, then drivel on about nonsense. Why don't you just type sensible stuff?

Maybe he's a chav?

I'll get this back on topic shall I? :P

What is the legal tread of the tyres? I might consider a tyre change altogether.
