Cheers for organising @Davyy ! Was good to meet all you guys and was happy with my result (176bhp and 150lb ft from my Clio 172).

I’ll be along to this @Davyy cheers

That would be good cheers mate, will pm you to arrange

Bugger sorry I missed you mate, I ended up going to sleep early as I was being sick and rushing to the bog ? was brilliant to meet you though - and your car was a beast!

Awesome thanks! Will pick up from you in the afternoon after the old girl goes on track

Yes please mate, if you can bring down to CSF?

I admire your optimism ;-) I don't think my bank account will ever recover!

I have this monitor for my twins and can confirm you can add additional cameras. I actually ended up selling the second camera though as it was much more convenient for me to ceiling mount the one camera and PTZ between the two cots. Otherwise you have to navigate through the slightly faffy...

How about getting a cheap as chips, small engined automatic car for the commute (Fiesta/Corsa) and keep the 182 for weekend blasts. As you won't be leasing a swanky car you'll then be a few hundred quid a month better off which you can use to pay off your mortgage quicker or nice holidays etc.

I’m not smart as I sold my set of wheels with PS3 because I didn’t have space at my house. Every time it rains now I question my sanity for selling them, they’re awesome tyres.

That van would be like an F1 car in comparison to mine in the wet. I might as well fit tyres made out of plastic

I could because my Nankangs will make me slide like Tokyo Drift unless it’s dry!

Cheers James, yeah I did that too when I took it off so hopefully it'll keep clean for a while now!

Hi I noticed my throttle body has built up a load of grime on one side of it. Strangely the rest of it all looks very clean though, including the other side of the valve. I wondered if anyone knew what could be causing it to build up on this edge? I've since removed the TB and cleaned it out...

I was very nearly that spare Dick Dobber. Being called Richard doesn’t help either!

I have a list too, I thought it covered everything I need but every time I look at it I need to add something else. Today I realised I need a camping chair or I’ll be sitting on the grass!

sounds like one or more of your wheels aren’t balanced properly. Possibly a rear wheel if your steering wheel isn’t vibrating at speed

I'm new to it, but I was testing my GoPro position earlier and it seemed to get a good picture with the suction mount fitted:

Nice find! These cars are amazing value for money and perfect as a cheap track car or every day commuter. Mine is the latter but I'm taking it on track soon. Will you be fitting a bucket seat and aftermarket steering wheel? ps the module you found next to the map reading light is a sort of...

I was there too, there were some amazing cars there. I had a look round that Clio V6 too, very nice indeed. My dad asked me if there were many differences to my 172, sadly there were quite a few, the drivetrain being one :LOL:

A mate of mine has an Astra J VXR and it's a massive step up in quality from the Astra H VXR and Astra G GSi. I'm not into Vauxhall's per se, but there's no denying the Astra J is a stylish, quick, and very well built car (other than the gearboxes which need regular oil changes). Standard...

Brilliant stuff, thanks for the tips about the pedals. I like the sound of removing the rubber bung for more braking feel, and adjusting the pedal positions will be useful too due to my size 12's. It just occurred to me I'll need to 'drive' with slippers on as I think it won't feel right using...

Blimey, I couldn’t even get two rear facing child seats in mine ?

Oh cool, they’re not the biggest of cars as you know

Excellent thanks again for the tips Darren. I’m used to taking apart things so I should be fine with the spring upgrade. It sounds a great mod. Can’t wait to use the new wheel soon, I think it’ll put a new dimension on the driving games.

Fab thanks, silly question maybe as I’m sure the stand folds but will it fit in a Clio?

Sounds great mate cheers. Yes please bring with you to CSF and will give you the dosh then

Thanks for all the info Darren! You certainly know your stuff about the various wheels available. The Fanatec ones are definitely out of my price range but I’m sure I’d be happy with a Logitech. @JB21 ’s deal sounds great so I’ll take him up on that! I’ll also look into the spring upgrade, are...
