  1. Yes. Mine suffered a similar fate last weekend. Did you move it recently? Or if its kept vertically was it knocked over? The early xb360s (like mine) were notorious for bad solder joints. Last weeks issue had me going over the mobo with Fluke in hand testing voltages, though I didn't find anything. Then when I placed it back in the chassis, the damn thing booted up as if nothing had happened. AND I was able to download the blades of time demo (the cause of it all) without any further issues. IMO these things are very temperamental, I've already placed an order for a 4GB slim model because I'm tired of the anxiety this thing causes me whenever I power it up. Also have you done xclamp mod? If you haven't suffered the RROD yet, you will eventually, so might as well get that done, it's especially useful in our climate.
  2. Yup, Mercedes win just like I hoped for (and was 90% confident of). If only Schumi wasnt thwarted by a silly wheel nut. And of course kudos to my boy Hami, the only consistent podium placer so far.
  3. I echo this sentiment. Schumacher finished inside of the top 10 last time around. I'm thinking both Mercs will be inside the top 10 tomorrow. And watch out for the Saubers, they're something fierce this season.
  4. Rosberg TQ ftw. Mercedes' out of the box thinking by exploiting the rules surrounding the cars' aerodynamics has really paid off. Lots of other teams have complained about their mods, I'm so hoping for a Mercedes win and can't wait for the ensuing fracas.
  5. Srsly, as long as you people continue feeding the troll, there will never be any end to this. Make peace with the fact that ignorance is genetic, like autism, for which there is no cure, and lets move on with our lives.
  6. An interesting toy, unfortunately its only for 4 speed manual and 3 speed autos, but I believe most situations can be modeled with a less than 10% error rate. http://vexer.com/automotive-tools/speed-rpm-calculator
  7. True story, but it's been nearly 7 years since the FJ debuted and they only got around to making a RHD version last year is what I meant. Now if only Honda would take heed of that fact and release an RHD version of the Ridgeline. And now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
  8. I can probably make copies of mine. If you guys know of a place that can properly photocopy and bind pages (odd dimensions) like what I took photos of earlier let me know.
  9. OMG r u srs?? I got down my entire set for 6k and some change back in 2009. And they were 35W bi-xenons with the slim unibody ballasts. Shit is expensive :/
  10. Srsly, there's no point in arguing with this fellow. From my own experience, I've come to realize he's unable to deduce through the use of simple logic what we see right in front of us. Ignorance truly is bliss.
  11. Machan I have the same problem with the driver's belt in my car. Have you sorted it out yet? I'm angling to take out the reel and service it myself, but I'm not sure of the complexities involved.
  12. Soak the stain with some water and mild detergent for about 15 minutes, then use a clean rag and some more water to sponge it all up. I had a large coke stain on my rear seat, and I got rid of it that way.
  13. Are we talking about the fact that Toyota have finally figured out how to build the FJ Cruiser in RHD? About fkn time, srsly.
  14. If you don't see the similarities in what you posted, never mind.
  15. The weather and road conditions in Thailand are more similar to Sri Lanka than you think.
  16. When the person you're insulting "likes" your insult, do you take it as an insult?

      That is called a compliment.

      who was it? maybe hes in love with you :D

  17. Is this car off the road now? I used to see it in the Kirulapone area. And as for what the car means to the BMW community, I believe thats only true of the V12 variety i.e. 850 Ci and CSi.
  18. http://www.latimes.com/business/money/la-fi-mo-repeat-hybrid-car-buyers-20120409,0,416214.story More proof that Hybrid cars are just a fad. And this is from Californikan's own backyard.
  19. Buy a certain newspaper which comes with a classified supplement on the weekends. Srsly, either use the search function or use your common sense. This forum is not here to be exploited the useless and the lazy.
  20. RIP XB360 you served me well for over 4 years, including two major operations.

      no power at all? maybe the transformer or a cap is busted? probably an easy fix?

      Which reminds me, I'm on the lookout for some used games.

  21. ya srsly, if i had a comfy bus to travel in i'd gladly avoid using my car. i can get to office with my sanity intact. sometimes i take the bus to work simply for that reason alone. my mind is a lot calmer at those times.
  22. Yes it's a strike by the truck drivers, not a fuel hike. Don't worry it will sort itself out in 24 hours like it always does.
  23. Really? What about the last Soarer/SC430? That car is sexy gorgeous. And the Toyota S.A.I. Hybrid looks begrudgingly street smart when kitted out with the aero bits and large diameter alloy options.
  24. How would a two car family be defined? Two or more cars under the same name? or take into account the vehicle in the spouse's name as well? or both? Unless the govt can enforce this law properly, I'm sure most nuclear families will just shift the ownership of the other car to a parent or someone else outside their immediate family. And I wonder whether if children who own cars are affected by this too if their parents have one. That would suck big time.
  25. I bought this album a few days ago, and if any of you are remotely fans of electronica, you will too. Plus I'm pretty sure we can relate to the video as well Edit: Album is named Wonky, it's brilliantly awesomely epic.
