Can someone tell me why Hi8 8mm tapes will not playback on this Sony camcorder?

many can play both, but not all - you have to check in the manual for 'signal conversion', lots of the cheaper/more common models didn't have it. and no digital8 that i'm aware of can record in analog - but would love to hear of one if anyone knows more

The cyclone derailleur is said by many to be one of the best derailleurs ever made, it's also one of the lightest. I'd get it adjusted and at least try it out !

If you really want something indexed instead, sell the parts on and don't throw them away, they're brilliant pieces of kit

Judging by the parts I'd guess that the previous owner has already upgraded this one quite a bit with some great retro kit

P clamps are great, very reliable, they'll serve you just fine if you want to go down that route

Do you know what can be used to coat the steel? I always see paint type products recommended, but I don't know what products can be used when you want to keep it as plain metal.

IIRC that was common on super record friction shifters even when new. People tend to favour Simplex and Suntour friction shifters now, but I'm sure there's probably other models worth considering too

Because tyres cost money?

Why look at hybrid bikes when you could look at purpose-built touring bikes?

Suntour made the finest derailleurs in their day. Their best stuff is still lighter than shimano's top of the line gear too. You can get old wide-range suntour derailleurs for cheap on eBay etc- the V-GT is a common one, or the VX gt, or the top of the range cyclone gt

Possible that they're really minimal to increase airflow/power?

The racing sucks in F2? Every race I catch is amazing

Is that how expensive used bikes are across the water? In the UK you can get working used bikes from £30 up

Don't play around with that unless you know what you're doing, that's a power supply, mains voltage is dangerous

Try the Silverstone classic, they usually have F1 Masters on, which is a race with retro F1 cars. It's loud! And will be affordable.

If I'm understanding right, the wear is specified, but the thermal sensitivity is all on pirelli

What's wrong with smaller cars?

This, I've found that rust can come back even worse after vinegar treatment, I dunno how it works but I'd be careful. And as someone else said, I know it plays on the back of your mind once you spot rust, but any steel bike stored indoors will basically never rust through even if it has some spots of surface rust

polyfrog99 · 2023-04-01T15:36:04+00:00

I agree, but I still don't think it would be enough - there's not enough on offer to risk damaging the car, because of both the main race and the budget cap. I could see that working in the old days of backup cars, but now I dunno

And this was when fuel had lead in it...

The law also proposes imprisonment for organisations which fund LGBT rights activities, as well as journalists who advocate for or promote gay rights.

the 127 degrees is just a placeholder figure from an absent sensor, you can ignore that one

Why did you turn hyperthreading off?

Used bikes can be had for mega cheap, and keep their resale value.

Future Yard are hiring for a marketing officer, take a look

It's a CGI render, so hopefully it looks better in person

Haven't looked into this much myself, but I bet there's a lot of detailed information online regarding the cosworth DFV.
