Chips

27th July 2010, 22:44

Is there any engine chips i can get, heard about them but im not the most technically or clued up person about cars haha

27th July 2010, 23:15

On a furio save your money.

27th July 2010, 23:16

does that mean theres one available ? how would it effect the car ?

27th July 2010, 23:30

if its an ebay chip you are thinking of buying or trying, would you like me to reserve you an engine now? in short, bad news, over-fuelling by large amounts leading to bore wash and oil dilution=kabooom, get sweeping brush out to clear hard shoulder of engine components

28th July 2010, 00:30

I wouldnt look into getting the ecu chipped until you have alot of engine mods e.g. if your car has been cammed, weight stripped, has a manifold full stainless steel exhuast, induction kit and remapped then it would be ok to get a chip but if it only has a back box and 2 bucket seats then I wouldnt bother mate and dont think that those ebay chips will do you any good if you want good performance then fit a 1.6 vtr engine or if you want really good performance then fit a 1.6 16v vts / gti engine. Dont listen to people that say that tuning a furio isnt worth it its your choice they say it about all cars anyway lol. a furio can get good aceleration if you fit a 1.1 box onto it but youll loose top end

btw you wouldn't need a remap for a change in weight of the car

28th July 2010, 11:09

28th July 2010, 11:11

now thats the kinda chips i would be going for... nice!

with curry or gravy though! and maybe a muffin...

*Northerner Alert*

28th July 2010, 11:14

I love chips and curry !

28th July 2010, 11:15

cant beat a good chips and curry, salt and vinegar, and a muffin (if your northern) or a balm or bap (if your gay

)

28th July 2010, 11:18

I do have a bit of a penchant for blueberry muffins

28th July 2010, 11:21

where do people get this stupid idea from that you would re-map a car and then chip it? wtf is that about?

28th July 2010, 11:22

Can't beat a good classic chocolate chip muffin. None of this double choc shit. I made the owner of the subway near college go to sainsbury's to buy some muffins for us as they had no chocolate chip lol. We are regulars and we get lots of free cookies and shit. good times.

Anyway

28th July 2010, 11:23

see, right, Northern Lingo Lesson one.

a muffin to a northerner is a balm or bap or bun, what ever people call it...

one of these!

28th July 2010, 11:24

that's a bun, this is a muffin

28th July 2010, 11:27

that's a biiiiiiig muffin

28th July 2010, 11:29

OMFG! lol

thats not a muffin, thats what the yanks call them. we call them buns!

the things that you call muffins with chocolate chips are called buns by English people, and the things we put bacon on are muffins.

Yanks say it the other way around, and so do the majority of Brits aswel by the looks of it! Its the whole Chips and Chips thing.. (crisps and chips and fries and chips)

the Americanisation of this country is scary.

i think Northerners are the only English people left! and were mainly Irish!

28th July 2010, 11:32

the supermarkets call them muffins - the thing with the bacon is is a bun. I have my burger in a bun, not a muffin

although, the double bacon McMuffins do come in a sort of bun, but the texture is more muffin like.

lol, anyway - Chips .....................

28th July 2010, 11:39

I've never called chips fries. That's just silly.
If only northerners could speak proper english they might be the most english people

28th July 2010, 11:49

the things at Mcds are English muffinsd. thats there actual name.

Now.

You believe everything you read? just coz the "supermarket" say so?

the supermarkets call them muffins to push on the Americanisation of foods. American style foods sell. its big business. they Americanise anything they can, coz it sells.

Money makes the world go round.

you pick up a bag of frozen chicken wings in the supermarket, i guarantee it says "American style" or it has a yanky flag on there...

same with garlic mushrooms, and onion rings!

the worlds gone crazy!

America has had high level freemasonic marketing guys whoreing its own country out to raise the profile and revenue stream on exported products, to make there produce more appealing to other countries, via TV, movies and music we are pre-determined to like Mcd's, burger king etc, drink coke and so on.

Dont fall into line. think for yourself.

What your mind tells you is right, is right, not those fuckers. your right. think how you want to think. Dont be controlled. Be individual.

We are sovereign human beings, demand more respect. we are not a product to be programmed to do certain things. work 9-5, pay tax, dont kick up a fuss, just get on with what you are told. dont question life. Dont question why you get up and go to work every day, sit in front of the TV and watch the main stream media news, feeding you lies and misleading information (funded by the governments), then watch some reality TV tripe that will numb your mind and dumb you down, so you never ask questions. keep the public entertained so they dont figure out whats going on here.

do you not realise that, from dusk til dawn, we are being programmed?

you egt up and go to work and earn your days wage, then you come home and get bombarded with advertisements on what to spend your money on on the way home, get home, turn on the TV and get mind raped again, for what to spend your wage on. we work for free, money isnt real, we only think it is coz we receive it in exchange for meaningless tasks we have to undertake, and then we give it right back to the government via taxes on the products we have already been pre-determined to buy coz we have been programmed all day by the media.

oh wait.,.. wrong meeting...

sorry, got a little deep there.

28th July 2010, 11:52

woooahhhh there

28th July 2010, 11:54

lol

When i buy something that on the packet says it's a blueberry muffin, I'm thinking for myself that inside is a blueberry muffin and that I'm hungry - if it wasn't i'd take it back.

haven't you been programmed to call them buns instead of muffins though ?

just like we have been programmed to call them muffins ?

I still wouldn't chip my car - just to keep things ontopic

28th July 2010, 11:59

This has turned into a general discussion about intercontinental propaganda.

i ahve been prgrammed, of course i have. we all have. we cant get away from it.

unless you lived in a room with no windows tv or internet, and never left and ate what naturally grew in that room. but then you would go crazy.

they love it when you work all month, get paid, then wax it all in a week or 2, then have 2 weeks left til pay day skint, so end up brorrowing cash via loans or Wonga.com and such sites. keep us enslaved to the work we do and the tax we pay.

there on to a winner. they get us to run the country and keep the economy ticking over, and in exchange they give us paper with number wrote on it, then we give it them straight back in exchange for what been advertised on TV that week. lol

Humans are already pre-determined to never be happy with what they have. if you buy a HD TV, then theres a LED one better. if you buy the best LED tv, tomorrow there will be an even better one available.

28th July 2010, 12:15

if you promise to pay back I'll lend you £60 in return for £70

28th July 2010, 12:23

Imagine if you left it for a year though? That would suck big time

28th July 2010, 12:23

lol

lol

oh yer over a year, you would probably have to straight up sign your soul over to the devil... not down with that

28th July 2010, 12:28

oh and sorry for the threadjack...

my bad!

this shit got deep though!

28th July 2010, 23:05

its a bap or a sarny aka. I want a bacon bap

a muffin is a cake with chocolate chips

28th July 2010, 23:20

burger=bun

chocolate= muffin

End of.

we could get dragged further in to an american/english debte over is it:

brekkie, lunch, dinner

or is it

brekkie, dinner, tea lol

i personally think its brekkie, lunch dinner but this is supposed to be the amercians programming us to call it that as most northerners call lunch, dinner which is just plain wrong... lol

discuss...

28th July 2010, 23:57

Agreed. When you go out to dinner you don't go for lunch.

29th July 2010, 08:47

man! dont get me started!!!!

lol

it goes brekky, dinner and tea... everybody knows that...

Dinner is american for Tea, and Lunch is American for Dinner!

why are you people doing this to me!

why am i the only Northerner here!

i need back up!!

Northerners... your country NEEDS YOU!

29th July 2010, 09:24

I have breakfast, lunch and then dinner

Tea is a drink I have with milk and no sugar

Because on something like my 200sx chipping is a real world and real option. With the 200 you can release another 20-30bhp, make the engine run leaner than the standard Nissan map which overfuels by quite a bit and makes it more economical. Only about £150-200 too

you haven't understood me. i mean what is the point of re-mapping a car and then 'chipping' it. there is no point!

you do one or the other.

A chip is just a generic map. A remap is tailored to your ecu and your engine. So getting a full remap and then chipping it will be a waste of time and a lot of money spent on the remap.

DAMN!

ok.. that is the only time that tea is referred to as dinner.

but sayin that, its usually something along the lines of

"so fancy coming out, for a meal of food at tea time?"

so you still say Tea time? or is it dinner time? that could get confusing, as dinner time is 12...

29th July 2010, 13:50

Aha! you've finally tripped over your own northern web of lies

29th July 2010, 13:56

hahahaha

yer, you got me.

but i do call 12 o clock dinner time. then i go home from work and have my Tea.

and i do also call the milky sugary watery drink tea aswel... maybe i am the confusing one... oh no!

thats a universal name for Bap/Bun/Muffin or balm.

i will try to refer to them as "rolls" for all you southern fairies!

29th July 2010, 14:49

balm. Now that's a stupid word for a roll. You don't rub the bread into your skin when it's dry. Whoever called it that first must have escaped from somewhere

29th July 2010, 14:54

hahaha, well thats the debate around my way.

if i am in the butty shop and some1 asks for a bacon balm, i always look at them like there scum... ITS CALLED A FUCKING MUFFIN YOU IDIOT! *or roll if you a southerner! lol*

Not roll, bap, cob etc etc etc etc etc wrong wrong wrong. It's a batch in Coventry lol

What about a sausage roll is that sausages on a roll or the one made with pastry??

29th July 2010, 15:14

Batch ?!?!

a sausage in a batch !? Come on, you can't be serious !?

29th July 2010, 15:24

now we are gettin deep.

i dont think any1 has ever discussed bready treats in such depth..there are alot of apparent grey areas i didnt know about

and yer, my bad... i am privy to the info of where scotland is situated on the map, just didnt see where u was from... my bad! lol

oh and... READ IT AND WEEP BITCHES!!

http://www.ovenbottommuffins.co.uk/

lol

its a Lancashire thing!

*Official definition of a muffin*

"To most people in the world, "muffins" are little cakes filled with chocolate or blueberries. There's also what Americans call "English muffins", which are little round bits of bread, rarely seen in England itself.

However, real muffins are actually Lancashire Oven Bottom muffins. These are bread rolls (or "flat pieces of bread" according to my dad) with a blackened ring on top. The most common type is 1" to 2" thick with a light consistency (lighter than bagels but not as light as sliced bread) and a smooth finish. In recent years, these have become available in supermarkets throughout the UK."

I win?

discuss/

29th July 2010, 15:31

Sausage roll ie the one on a bap not a batch which is a made up piece of nonsense may also be refered to as a roll on sausage.

29th July 2010, 15:34

That's a bad can of worms to open. It sounds like your ordering something on bulk from the factory or something. A bacon batch would be 3 pallets of bacon

29th July 2010, 15:39

Surely!

if i went to my local butty shop and asked for 3 bacon batches, he would probably scracth his head and say "that will be £300 please, and have you got an address for the pallets to be delivered to please?"

defo. we as a collective refuse the "batch" to be added intro the satisfactory terminology for the "muffin bap bun roll" list.

29th July 2010, 15:42

Agreed. Court adjourned. Sentence - removal of batch from thread and national recognition as terminology for a bread based food product

29th July 2010, 15:42

Oven bottom muffin, not a standard muffin sounds like a veriaty of muffin to me

Agreed batch is nonsense

Ok, Yer, linking the oven bottom muffin site was bad move in proving that beady roll style treats are all collectively called muffins.

but at least we have all agreed that a muffin is an acceptable term!

Muffin is a cake. Roll,bap,bun are not

29th July 2010, 16:29

WHOAH! A BUN IS A CAKE!

Cup cakes are also referred to as buns... arnt they?

29th July 2010, 17:13

A cup cake is a muffin with icing on top. That's a hot crossed bun, not a cake. A cake must have sugar in it. The only sugar a hot crossed bun has in it is the currants.

29th July 2010, 19:16

NEWTZ07- you say balm is a sothern term, but on big brother Corrin (who is a northerner) says balm and ben (who is a southerner) hadnt heard of a balm beffore and i personally think its an aweful name for a ROLL lol

in oxford i get called a northerner because i live like 90miles north of oxford but when i worked in leeds i got called a southern fairy! lol my house mate said its because im a midlander no one likes us lol

29th July 2010, 19:35

I find BK chips more tasty has a nice crunchyness about them and not salty as feck

29th July 2010, 23:52

Ross you're southern you don't pronounce bath "bath" you pronounce it "barrrrtthhh" What has happened

30th July 2010, 00:06

I add a little r into it but nothing too pronounced

30th July 2010, 00:20

No not crazy oxford stylee. But at least pronouncing the a fully. If you know what i mean "ar" instead of "a" phonetically speaking

30th July 2010, 08:52

No, i didnt say that a balm is a southern term, its a northern thing. but its wrong. certain areas of lancashire say balm, and some say muffin.

30th July 2010, 09:16

My lancashire spin on things.

Muffin

Tea-cake (as in, "can i have a dabb tea-cake" or "can i have a chip teacake")

My mate from manchester came around to my gaff last year.. went into a local chippy and asked for a "scollop muffin" the lady looked at him like he was foreign and i just laughed and said 'he means a dabb teacake'.

Also it goes

Breakfast, Dinner, Tea, Supper.

And if anyone argues with that, i ask you two questions.

1. When you was at primary school, what were the ladies called that worked in the kitchens?
2. What bell used to ring at 'dinner' time?

Btw i'm from near Accrington, you may of heard of the famous 'Accrington Stanley'.

30th July 2010, 11:03

Dabb tea cake, that's not a cake it's a roll.

Lunch and dinner are interchangeable. Breakfast, lunch/dinner, tea

30th July 2010, 12:01

No their not. It's just lunch

30th July 2010, 12:07

tea cake? i thought thats them fruit bun things?

I just call them food. Can i have a meat food please.

30th July 2010, 13:27

Tea cakes are like fruit bun things

Lol, more food !! All goes into the same hole
