Race 07. It is a Racing game (duh) that you can buy the online mode through Steam for $20, or exclusively at BestBuy, you can get the online AND offline mode for $10. (Two different executables. SP does not use steam, and so, does not need internet connection to play.)

Spark plugs aren't hard...unless you have a car where they are stupidly located...
The exhaust? Bah, it isn't time to fix, it's time to upgrade
Same with the trans!

Man, you have it easy, atleast you don't have to do rust repair!

My car needs to go in for servicing soon too. The bumper as slowly been wiggling its way loose off the front. Uhm, I've been saying I'll get it fixed for over a month now. However, when I turned on the car yesterday, my A/C was MIA. I am making the appointment for servicing first thing tomorrow morning. We see where my priorities are...

For someone who has done it, how hard is it to lap a CPU versus lapping a heat sink? What are potential risks aside of bent pins?

Not "hard," per se. Just takes a lot of time and effort and good technique if you are going to do it the right way.

G.O. and thlnk3r are established lapping gurus; G.O. has his superb lapping guide in his sig, I believe.

Believe it or not, I've lapped a CPU under running water from the faucet; chip is still alive and kicking.

depends on the cpu. if its an AMD processor, i usually get that padding taht comes with the cpu to hold against the pins. sometimes i can get away without bending any.. something a few on the side.. easy fix.

both have their difficulties imo. one having teh small size.. one having an awkward shape to hold.

*back to car topic*

arent spark plugs always on top? @_@ would suck if it was anywhere else...

woo. exhaust full upgrade.

transmission. ouch. haha

<3 having a new car.. under warranty..

Considering that this is not a thread about cars Iandroo...

I know Joe's opinion is stilted, but what does everyone else think of delidding? Is it better to delid than to lap? I just need a box cutter and nerves of steel right? I have very trembly hands; will that be a problem?
