Here's the video, sorry about the focus but my phone sadly doesn't have manual / fixed focus.

E: Just took a closer look at it, there's oil where none belongs in the engine bay and I found the valve cover wasn't screwed on properly on one side. Could explain it, if oil isn't distributed through the paths it's designed to, it could slip through into an open valve. Gonna have to drain the oil and take the cover off I suppose.

Well I got Bravo to run but it's nowhere near feature complete, so it's not an option at all... doesn't have trees or ores, generates monotone worlds and doesn't spawn mobs

Oh crap you're putting a more disastrous thought into my head... the oil's straightest way to the exhaust would be through the turbos, and those are freakishly expensive...

Uploading a video so you can judge for yourself. Must say now after re-examining it, it does have a slight blue tint to it.

Oh btw it's a 2JZ-GTE

No it doesn't by default, but being written in Python and designed to allow scripting, it's basically made for modding. It doesn't seem to support Windows, but I guess your dedicated machine is running *nix anyway

I'll have a look and report back.

One way would be to render the Z-buffer to a separate surface and export the screenshots as RGBA PNGs where the Alpha channel is used for the Z-buffer. On the other hand, since Record can read SMX, it could simply determine the depth itself and the dimensions of the cars can be taken from their respective models.

Boosted are you using the original MC server? Or one of the custom ones? I figured Bravo would make a good base for modding to include the features we need, but I don't know if it's up to date.

Quote from BigPeBe :

Erm white smoke / steam isn't usually a sign of any kind of fault. Pretty much every car does this when it's cold and moist. It's just water.

If your valve stem seals are gone it usually allows for oil to leak in to the combustion chamber and burn in engine, this results in blue smoke. Oil burns always blue. And the condition has to be really bad if it doesn't stop at all, or there is some other reason for burning oil.

If there is continuous white smoke coming out of the exhaust always, this could mean you have a head gasket or even head failure, which allows for coolant water to leak in to combustion chamber and thus vaporizes out of the exhaust. If this is the case and you have proper coolant (not just only water) your exhaust gases should smell weird, the smell would be sweet, "sugary", non "exhaust-gas" like.

As I said, the engine was warm, it wasn't like the usual vaporisation. Water in the silencers and cats wouldn't explain it, unless they were really filled to the brim.
Trust me, I know the engine pretty well by now and it's a typical sign of valve stem seals. It's time for a new timing belt anyway (the third one), so I'm probably going to end up taking it out and perhaps, if I can afford it, get it built properly. Would give me room in the engine bay to take care of some re-wiring and relocation of some components I've been planning to do for a while.
Definitely not worried about the head and don't think the head gasket is likely.

It's very cold and I think the valve stem seals are more likely to contract in a manner that would suddenly lead to this condition than the head gasket is. Can't put load on the engine, thus can't spool the turbos to see if the boost is holding, but as I said, I'm fairly confident it's not the head/gasket.

My new Garage Whifbitz cat-back arrived, looking like this:

Well that's just ants:

Also, battery went dead and the stupid theft deterrent system won't recognise the fobs anymore, none of the ways to resync works. Apparently this system is renown for failing irreparably on a completely dead battery.
I did get round the immobiliser, was nice to hear her purr despite the rough idle (due to the ECU having lost power, thus needing to relearn). However, there was a lot of white smoke / steam from the exhaust even after half an hour of warming up, probably worn valve stem seals.

Not at all how I expected to start this year :melting:

you can lock ONE chest for your own, only accessible by you (and admins, but im the only one ).
several lil things more.

To clarify, is that really ONE, a small one, or does a two-piece one count as one?

It's a script in plain text, you can read for yourself what it does and does not do.

server is working fine...just connected and disconnected.
double check that theres no space or something within the ip (beside the dots ofc )

Yeah seems I copy&pasted a space or something, got in a few mins later. Played through the night, had some frustrating setbacks but my fortified little tower is slowly shaping up

So I just bought this. My life is over.
Still getting to grips with everything but this thing got me totally hooked already. Will join the server, just in case the whitelist becomes functional again please add: das_morpha


E:
Getting "Unknown host `62.75.235.105`" when I try to connect, tried several times in short bursts and with a few minutes between attempts

clutch and h pattern shifting SUCKS imho.

Yep, big time. Was the single most disappointing thing in Prologue and it's even more disappointing that it's still unchanged.

Quote from Migz :

No clue atm. I know a friend with a bunch of Golf spare parts, he has a few headlights, so just gotta go with him to his garage and pick the one i want.

To legally install HID lights you don't just need the right projectors, but also a headlamp lens cleaning system (wipers, high pressure sprayers, squeegees) and automatic beam levelling control in accordance with ECE R48 — Installation of lighting and light-signalling devices.

I know you don't care, just putting it out there.

Quote from Tur8o :

yes it is already in shift u mode becuase thats what lfsrecord makes it into

Check your screenshot, it's not in Shift+U

Quote from KiRmelius :

How's the Rockingham?

Try manually switching to Shift+U, that is, just press Shift+U in LFS.

I keep the pace close to the "temper" of the driver. My calm'n'composed cool tempered class 37 is useless in the red and usually slower than in the blue, simply because he makes so many mistakes. He starts drifting pretty quickly despite the enormous grip of the 787B, he even managed to spin the X2010 which none of my other drivers accomplished so far.

My rage muppet class 33, who's all the way in the red, doesn't make any mistakes even at maximum pace. That's the one I hope will get me into the SLS comp at class 40

Technically what one normally eats is popped corn. Eating popping corn would be extremely painful, seeing as the heat necessary to pop corn is rather intense and the released pressure is far from negligible.

While we're on it:
Justin Bieber got shot today, he died!
Lady Gaga turned out to really be a guy!
Britney Spears gave birth to another child, it had a poodle's head!
Steve Jobs was seen with his head detached (yes, the turtle-neck is to cover the slight gap), he's an alien!

Or a second DVD burner, but that's about it really

duh...no one mentioned it yet? jesus.

Great plate
Reason no-one's mentioned is simple: it's not a car

Quote from Matrixi :

I want to painfully murder my granny driving brake obsessed b-spec Bob. He's so utterly useless at ovals even if I give him a way better car than the opposition has, he's still braking in every "corner" at level 23.

I feel you, really, it drove me nuts. Increase the downforce (if applicable), reset the diff settings to default if necessary (i.e. if changed) and get rid of the rear toe, helped mine. However, he still won't have a clue about drafting, he'll sit back and let everyone pass if he's on the outside, even if you give him a car that could easily overtake the entire field from last to first without drafting.
