Im in need of a vehicle outline for an IS200/IS300 or Tezza. Im not bothered which format or which scale. Does anyone have such a thing. The vehicle outline will be used to design a bespoke graphics set for the car. Unfortunately, there isnt one available from my supplier. Anyone that can supply me with a quality wire frame scale image will get some free vinyl done. I need to get moving with the project and cant until we get the outline. Thanks

Everybody has seen the warning signs for the risks of nitrogen. Nitrogen is dangerous because it actively pushes away the oxygen in the surrounding air. But what actually happens if you do not get enough oxygen? In order to understand this, it is important to know a little about the human breathing system. How does our breathing system work? Humans need oxygen in order to be able to live. Our body uses oxygen to supply energy to our organs. The oxygen is burning sugars in the body cells, supplying energy to our body. The waste product of this energy burning process is Carbon Dioxide. In order to get Oxygen into our bodies we inhale fresh air. Fresh air contains on average, 21% of oxygen. Inside the lungs, the oxygen is connected to the blood using the red blood cells. At the same time, the Carbon Dioxide from the blood is released to the lungs. When we exhale we blow this Carbon Dioxide out of our bodies. Inside the body we produce as much Carbon Dioxide as we use Oxygen. If we start working harder, we need more energy; therefore we start burning more sugar. This causes the frequency of our breathing to increase, for we do also need more Oxygen for this process. The result of this is more Carbon Dioxide. The fact that 79% of the air we use is typically Nitrogen is not important It solves a little in our blood, but it is not connected to the blood cells. The frequency of our breathing is automatically controlled in a part of our brain, which we can call the Breathing Centre. If you think this breathing centre is triggered by the amount of oxygen in the blood, you are wrong! The breathing centre responds to the amount of carbon dioxide present. The more carbon dioxide that is detected by the brain, the faster we start breathing. This process always works well because we produce the same amount of carbon dioxide as we do use oxygen. This way, we never get a shortage of oxygen. This process never fails, even when we are asleep, or inside a sealed conference room with a lot of other people, which would cause the carbon dioxide levels in the room to increase rapidly and the oxygen levels to decrease. Our bodies would respond to this by breathing faster in order to get more oxygen into the lungs. Getting the feeling that you are short of breath is a signal that will finally cause us to leave the room if the carbon dioxide levels continue to rise. When we inhale Nitrogen, why do we die so quickly? Humans are the most resilient species on the face of the earth. We can exist in the most diverse of circumstances and environments. That is until we are confronted with circumstances not foreseen by nature itself; an environment that contains a lot of nitrogen. What is so different? Suppose we inhale air with only 10% of oxygen, no carbon dioxide and 90% nitrogen. We inhale normally and use the oxygen for our energy production. Because there is insufficient oxygen in this air, we shall suffer a shortage of energy because of the lack of carbon dioxide. Therefore the brain is not stimulated to increase the frequency of our breathing. In fact, the brain is stimulated to decrease the frequency of our breathing because the amount of carbon dioxide in our blood is reduced. Because of the acute need for oxygen, the energy supply to the cells will stop, which in basic terms, means “lights-out” The brain is extremely sensitive to this power failure and will not be able to maintain consciousness. Being unconscious, your breathing will be very slow. If the oxygen level falls below 6%, this will take please after just ONE BREATH of air. You will quite literally faint after inhaling and will no longer to be able to breathe by yourself. After about 2 to 4 minutes, you will die. Within this time, only mouth-to-mouth resuscitation could save your life. The exhaled air of the rescue worker contains a lot of carbon dioxide that should stimulate the brain to start breathing again. Nitrogen is the most dangerous gas that we know. Even the most toxic of gases will give at least a small warning to the body. Nitrogen does not. Because of this lack of warning we cannot protect ourselves from it. A few lucky survivors (resuscitated) of nitrogen accidents in the industry have all declared that they never knew what hit them when they were exposed to high concentrations of nitrogen. So how can I protect myself from high concentrations of nitrogen? Take a gas sample. Calibrated equipment that is being operated by trained personnel can determine if it is safe in a certain area or confined space. Always use breathing air (cylinders) in nitrogen rich environments. Canister masks will give absolutely no protection from oxygen deficiency. Stay away from nitrogen leaks, manholes and other openings of vessels and towers. Never use nitrogen hoses to blow something dry or clean unless you are using BA. Never check a confined space by holding your breath for a second and putting your head in. The penalty for this is death, for even the smallest mistake. If you purge a system with nitrogen make sure that all warning signs, warning tapes etc are in place so that everyone in the area is made aware of the hazards. Only then you may start your work. Never, on no account, must you ignore a warning sign or fence. Never try to rescue a victim of nitrogen with using BA yourself. A rescue without BA will result in double the amount of deaths. Always be aware of the hazards of nitrogen. HOPE THIS CLEARS THINGS UP A LITTLE

I will give it a go. Thanks guys. Such simple things in life that give us headaches eh !

I wouldnt bother if I were you. It costs a fortune. Plus, you will probably not find anyone you would want to do it for you, not pure N2 anyway. Its lethal. We work in Nitrogen Enriched atmospheres. It disperses any oxygen, and is actually very very toxic. If you breathe any in - just one breath - and you die. simple. Car tyres are designed to be filled with normal air, F1 tyres are a bit different to standard road tyres.

Barnetby, near Brigg, near Scunthorpe North Lincolnshire, just off the M180

I have the Dastek Unichip, fitted and mapped on the rolling road by Dennis Vessey at Brigg 01652 688904. I always go to him now, hes a good bloke and knows his stuff.

But they are also used to identify accident blackspots and alert the driver to be more carefull. Im convinced they make a major contribution to road safety ;)

No, its the Donny up north, Doncaster Race Course. I heard the Donny South one was poo aswell. I know the one up here is a big one.

Anyone planning on going to Donny next year, the dates are 9th & 10th of April 2005, at Doncaster Racecourse. I will be there as a trader. Is there a planned meet for this one, its a big one - possibly as big if not bigger than JAE.

Im defo interested in this. Koblenz is a beautiful part of Germany, right on the Rhine, with a fab Castle on a cliff, and ACE beer. I went there about 10 years ago for the Rhine in Flames festival. I would be interested in this trip Ken, dependent on cost obviously, and Im not entirely sure about my work committments yet, but I would love to come for it if I can.

Hi Guys, thanks for the interest. Unfortunately, I am not able to do any gold plating. The reason for this is simple. I am an authorised trader to the LOC, however there is a club sponsor who offers this service, who has a long standing arrangement with the club. As I am sure you will agree, we have to respect the club rules and respect the club sponsors position, so please submit your enquiry to them. Anyway, the method of gold plating that I can do is different. I believe that GoldGenie use the "Wand" method, which is good and affordable, however my method is by total submersion, including total chrome-stripping and recoating. The process itself is expensive, so I dont intend pushing our gold plating anyway. Thanks for the interest anyway, and sorry I cant do it for you. Now if yoou want chroming, Anodising, Polishing or Vinyls, then thats a different matter. Were also experimenting with some rather nice, what shall we call it, erm......"AnoChrome" which effectively coats anything with a chrome based coating with just a tint of an anodised dye, giving it that pearlescent sort of look. If we can get the mix right, it will look ACE on wheels.

Ive just had a look at my stock, and I have a Metallic Graphite vinyl which, to be truthful, doesnt match exactly, but its not a million miles off, and contrasts well with the painted surface on the dash. I think the dash paint has a hint of bronze to it, which gives that greenish sort of tint and I think you would be pushed to match it exactly anyway. If you want a swatch sending of the vinyl, just pm your address and will send you some.

Ive just supplied a "Sunstrip" for want of a better word. It was a thick Red Vinyl, 10" across from top to bottom, the full width of the screen, for a road-going BTCC lookalike. It passed the MOT OK because the field of view was not inhibited by the sunstrip at the top. I think this is an open and shut case. The bobby did not test in the normal field of view, and without the sunstrip in place, on a bright and sunny day, you would use the normal sun visor, which cuts 100% from your field of view if it is in use. The tint in the window is there for a reason - SAFETY. Let it go to court mate. I would.

I take it you dont want my spare engine now then Matt?

Thats a very nice tidy install. Good price too. I settled with the Bluetooth BH-005 which is just clipped to my sun visor. It has a microphone and speaker built in and works perfect. £70.00 from vodafone shop.

I can look out of my office window right now and think to myself "I can remember when all this was fields" I remember going to a schoolr reunion 2 or 3 years ago, and I went to my old classroom. The plastic seats were really small, and Im sure the little bit of chewed up paper that I fired at the ceiling through my biro was still there. I visited the back of the engineering shop where everyone went for a fag and I met my old headmaster, who still has halitosis, and still carries the big bible under his arm which he used to use as a weapon. I had school dinner, with those lovely small scoops of mashed tatty and tapioca pudding with a little dollop of cheap jam. Oh, the good ol' days are gone forever........

You know what - I totally and completely understand every damm line of this. *** I must be old. But they were the good ol' days. But you forgot something which we all did Im sure: 1. Scrumping ! 2. Riding pillion on the Raliegh Chopper - cos the little sign on the seat said you shouldnt ! 3. Making a swing out of a bit of wood and a length of discarded rope, usually over the most perillous swamp you can find. Can anyone think of any more?

Oh Man, Ive just wet my pants laughing at that. General Lee BMW - WOW. Funny enough - Ive been asked to do a General Lee Decal Set for a plastic pig That should be good - but I bet it cant perform like that video.

Woman who cook meat and peas in same pot not hygenic. Think about it ! ;)

Man who go to bed with stiff problem wakes in morning with solution in hand

Can anyone help please. A mate of mine has enquired whether there is such a thing as "Lexus-Lights" for a 1998 GS300? Yeah, I know - I laughed aswell. What he is after are some form of aftermarket nice looking lights for it. Lexus Lights for Vauxhall - Yes, VW - Yes, Honda - Yes, Lexus - Cheers guys

I had the same problem with my Mini-disc - I dropped it in the bath. All I did was sit it on some tissue paper for a week or so on a radiator and it worked fine after that. Alternatively, just remove a service panel and get the hair dryer in there, but be carefull not to get it too hot, just enough to vapourise any moisture.
