[week...]

Word of the week...
Dropped the ball already then.

Here we go:
ball swipe: n. While dogging, the act of resting your cods on a fellow dogger 's windscreen and requesting that they turn on their wipers at high speed to smack them from side to side whilst you pleasure yourself. It is, apparently, recommended that the dogger should receive a jet of cold screenwash every five minutes or so to soothe irritation.

I'd go with what Chris said, it sounds like one of the wheel speed sensors isn't reading speed pulses (probably a poor or corroded connection). This means that when you apply the brake the ABS system thinks that a wheel is locked up and intervenes. If the light only comes on around braking events then that's just the car saying, woh there buddy, I had to step in there to calm it down a bit as the road is wetter than an otter's pocket...

The description says they come with a fixing kit which I believe consists of appropriately sized washers spaces and a bolt (based on other toroidal transformers I've seen). I couldn't comment on the existing one unless the kit instruction says to remove it.

P.S. Try not to electrocute anyone... :grenade:

This should do you:

Although it's a big boy:

Height x Diameter (mm)   45 x 91
Weight Kg   1.10

VTX-146-100-225: http://www.vigortronix.com/ToroidalTransformers-DualPrimary2x115V.aspx

You'll need to connect the two primaries together in series, and the secondary windings in parallel.

We're using these at work for a project and they are fantastic value for money: http://m.ebuyer.com/719500
We got a few when they were on offer at £50 but still good value at the regulate price

I have found recently that 245/50R16's appear to give gone extinct in the UK... This is the size I have and it appears it would be only marginally more expensive to change the rims to give a better choice of tyre! :down:

Looks great, but did you need to put a shelf on the bottom? You could have just stood stuff on the floor?

The bottom shelves lift up to reveal his shotgun collection...  :shotgun: :secure:

Going to take some getting use to, but good work Admin! :P

Why not get a camera for you various remote cars?

Tried to upload to the gallery and got an error saying 'A valid token could not be found'.

No easy way to upload pics in this forum section so have lost interest in trying...

As I suspected, the pic I showed you the other day of our simulator setup was old. The steering setup is one of these bits of kit with a GT-AM wheel and paddle sifters: http://www.simsteering.com/products.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://www.simsteering.com/products.html

Not sure who the peddle box is made by, i'll post some pics later.
