Hard drives

by parthiban, 15-03-2020, 02:55 PM

Random PC question here, going to put an SSD in my PC but keep my existing hard drive for data storage. Existing drive has windows on it, if I move it to SATA port 2 and plug the SSD into 1 will it be ok or will the PC try and boot from my old drive if it still has windows on it? (was planning not to format it until I've got the SSD installed and up and running)

Got the job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Possible Wheel Colour Change? Opinions Needed

by TurboPete, 15-03-2020, 10:12 AM

Had a productive morning at work downloading Photoshop and reading tutorials on line on how to change wheel colours. Tried a few colours and ended up with these 2.





Or stay as they are.....



Wanted to see what white would look like too but couldn't get that to work properly. Or also a colour but with a coloured rim (oooo errrr missus!!)

Any thoughts? :biggrin:

Which road to take?

by jomo, 14-03-2020, 11:15 AM

Ok, so i recently got myself a cracking bargain off ebay.



So my question is this, do i fit the above stereo and have my iphone/ipod touch sat in the tray below the stereo or do i fit this i made, which will have a cable ran behind the stereo and out the tray to try and hide it, this option (pic below) will also charge said iphone/touch!



At the moment i have this in the top of my dash.



Which i looked for ages to find one.

I will also be connecting a parrot hands free kits to this stereo.

Or any other ideas you may have?
