[All] [Generic] Cobra 4138 Romote reprogramming?
I've got this alarm / immobiliser fitted, and last night my fob lost sync / broke and I can't find my spare. Had to be towed home until I could find my PIN and override procedure in the manual. I've looked online but can't find any guides on how to re-sync a remote, so not sure if I'm stuck using th...

Re: Forza 3 Vs GT5
Just to pop back on topic.. The article linked to is a little bit pro GT, being a PSX website, no? To give Kazunori Yamauchi too much credit for the GT-R is a bit off? Polyphony just designed the interface for the dash centre console, didn't they? Anyway, GT5 is next year (Japan Spring probably turn...

Re: Forza Ferraris!
hmm, I think it's looking quite a big step forward from Forza 2.
This vid is a bit of cringe-worthy propaganda, but the game footage looks stunning. The cars are the most detailed I've seen anywhere.

Re: Uncharted 2 not possible on xbox 360
I don't think you can really compare gears 2, and Uncharted2 in that way. Gears uses unreal Engine 3. That engine performs better on 360, almost every multiplatform game using it either runs faster, higher res, or just plain nicer on the 360. Uncharted2 is a custom PS3 engine. I don't think they can...

Re: Uncharted 2 not possible on xbox 360
Yes, but another thing people forget about, is design! Many of the Sony exclusive teams have a history since PS2 (or longer), where they had a lot less performance to play with. Experience with getting incredible looking things out of more limited hardware is invaluable. There's no way of knowing, o...

Re: Uncharted 2 not possible on xbox 360
Another interesting game when comparing PS3 and 360, is Dirt 2. It's another one that suffers a lot more frame rate drops, and screen tears, despite using half the effective resolution (due to anti-aliasing methods used) of the 360 version. Now the Codemasters's engine is built on top of "Phyre...

Re: Uncharted 2 not possible on xbox 360
PS3's problem is it's CPU is immense, but very hard to get the "theoretical" maximum out of. Add to that, it's GPU is seriously under powered. The 360 can do a lot more pixels, which is why so many games run at higher resolution or have a better quality of Anti-aliasing than the PS3 versio...

Re: Uncharted 2 not possible on xbox 360
Had to comment on the Batman stuff. I played the demo first on the 360, then on the PS3, and I was quite shocked that it looked noticeably worse to me on the PS3. There's more slowdown, screen tearing, and the resolution / Anti-aliasing is noticeable worse in game (hard to tell in cut-scenes). The s...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Alarm Fitting Recommendation?
I've just purchased my first Turbo, and I need to upgrade it's current Cat 2 rated "Selca IM3.22" immobiliser to a Thatcham Cat 1 system.
Would anyone be kind enough to recommend a good, not too pricey alarm and reliable company / fitting service?
Thanks for any advice! :O)

[Mk2] [NA] Scorpion 1218T2 help needed!
My alarm has just started going off about a minute after arming. According to the dash LED flashes, it says that the Siren power supply has been disconnected. I'm guessing it's probably the built in power supply (which powers the siren in the event of the car battery being disconnected) either comin...

Re: [Mk2 ] Front tyre wear.. ?
I might just give it a go then. Last time I got new tyres (Goodyear GS-D3's) alround. My rears have just worn out and were changed last week. In the same time, the fronts have only worn down the tread on the very inside edge only, but the rest of the tyre looks literally brand new. I guess 20 quid o...

[Mk2 ] Front tyre wear.. ?
Due to the way only the inside inch or so of the front tyres seem to get any real wear and end the life of what otherwise look like almost perfect tyres, has anyone ever tried getting their front tyres swapped around at the first sign of wear? From the way my last tyres wore out, It would seem to me...

Re: Strange Battery / Ignition Problem
Thanks for the advice. I'll whip the battery connectors off and give them a good clean later. Hopefully it'll do the trick.
Typical though! I've got to drive from Reading to Liverpool tomorrow and a problem like this pops up just before the trip!

Elton.
