Removed the s2000Airbox Cover

by Anees, 16-05-2017, 04:53 PM

Hi guys,

Yesterday I removed the airbox cover from the S2000 and drove it around to see what the noise was like! OH MY GOODNESS!! Its great! Just sounds so mental!

Car just growels and roars and then VTEC kicks in at its just gets louder and deeper! :drool::drool:

The problem however is that heatsoak is a major issue and the car just bogs down and is much slower, but the noise........:w00t:

Need to get the same kind of noise now without loosing power. :wink:

Started to polish some engine bits?

by Bandit, 15-05-2017, 03:46 PM

Well what a crappy day, was doing a great job on the turbo, replaced the gasket with a stainless one due to mine blowing quite a bit, i'd got the turbo and all the bits basicly off the car in around an hour, and was just fitting it all back together when the heavens opened up and drowned me, so had to give it up mid refit as i was soaked!

So thought i'd play with a couple of the parts that i'd taken off and give them a clean! But got a bit carried away as usual

This is the intake after i'd cleaned it off with a degreaser,


Then after a bit of sanding ,


After the 1st go with the buffer,


And how it looks at the moment,


Going to give it another going over with the sandpaper when i get chance as its still covered in scratches and pitting from the casting?


Hopefully i'll do the turbo pipe, rocker covers and plenum when i get chance and when i dont need to use the car?

Need to order some of the bling i've seen now, so i can start to get the engine bay to a better standard than it is at the moment!

Here i go again LOL

Anyone use doubletwist?

by parthiban, 15-05-2017, 09:33 AM

Trying to use doubletwist with my HTC Magic, but can't understand why it won't work. Sees the device fine, starts sync, puts all the folders on the phone but doesn't transfer any files - just says skipped 1000 files.......

Anyone know what the problem could be? This seemed to be the perfect way to use iTunes for the iPod, and then also use other devices but obviously not if it doesn't work!

How to post photos on the forum

by steviewevie, 15-05-2017, 07:21 AM

We all love seeing pictures on the forum. It's very easy to post up your own pictures here, and I've made a step-by-step guide to show you how it's done.

Basically there are two main steps. First of all, you need to upload your pictures to a photo hosting website on the Internet. There are loads of free photo hosting websites out there, personally I use Photobucket and so I will use Photobucket examples to illustrate this guide.


1. Hosting your Photos

If you haven't already got an account, go to Photobucket (or another such site) and sign up there.

When you're logged in to Photobucket, click on the "my albums" link at the top and select "albums & upload". You'll see a box towards the top entitled "Upload Images & Video", as per below :




Click on the "Choose files" button and follow the prompts to upload photos. You can select several photos at one time and upload them together, you don't have to do it one at a time. Once the pics are uploaded, it will then prompt you to add "tags" to them, but you don't have to bother, you can simply select "Return to Album".


2. Posting your Photos on OJC

Now you've got your photos hosted on the web, you can post them up on OJC. You just post up special links to them on the forum, then the photos will automatically appear in your posting.

Many photo hosting websites, including Photobucket, will automatically generate the code to link to your photos for you. This might sound complicated but it's not. Just put your mouse over the photo in Photobucket, and a small box will pop up below the photo, like this (I'm pointing at the top-left photo) :




In that box that pops up, look for the section that says "IMG code". To the right of this is the link/code that you need for the forum, which starts "[IMG]http:". Click in this box and it will highlight the code, then you can right-click (if on a PC) and select "Copy", see below :




Now go to your posting, right-click in your new posting/reply where you want your photo to be, and select "Paste". That should make that "IMG" code appear in your posting. Click on "Preview Post" to check that it looks as you expect, and you should be done !


As an alternative, e.g. for photos you want to link to off other websites, and not ones that you have uploaded yourself, you can click on the little "postcard" picture above the box where you're typing your posting, and that will prompt you to enter the address of the photo (which you can either Paste in or type manually), and it should generate the code in the same way.


Happy photo posting !
