I waited five months for my induction kit. Phoned up the main number (who said KTEC were part of larger group now?) and went straight to their finance team. Got a really helpful person on the line and I just said I wanted my money back. They confirmed my order number with me over the phone and...

Don't disassemble parts and leave then on a table for the cat to knock on the floor..... :rolleyes:

Had a service, along with the engine oil, gearbox oil and coolant replaced today. It’s definitely been a while since the coolant was swapped.

They probably just perish over time. Or perhaps the constant low level vibration makes them a bit more brittle?

Looks fairly nasty that. Did the garage give any indication of thoughts on the liquid?

I find that way more ridiculous and annoying than someone sticking a Veyron badge on a Fiesta. It's the arrogance that they think some casual bystander believes it to be the real deal. And looking at the badge, it looks pretty legit and an accurate placement - so the owner has actually taken...

Thinking of adjusting my GT Track pedal plate to be at an angle - see how that fares. Do many others just leave their pedal bases horizontal, or on an incline? I tend to have the seat, wheel and pedals in a more traditional car position, rather than an F1 style. I've seen some setups where the...

Kyalami is one tough b**ch to get right! :P Such a technical circuit.

Debating having a full bush refurb on the 182 this year - along with tracking also. Handles straight when barely touching the wheel, but it's been six years since any of the bushes have been replaced. Felt tighter than a nun's chuff back then.

Had a quick practice go with the KTMs at dinner. The GT2 forward view is very compromised. The GT4 model felt more fun to drive and was less 'understeery' than its more powerful sibling. Both had really good brake setups too.

Had a dabble with the 0.8 release yesterday on the new (and brilliant) addition of the Kyalami circuit. It's certainly one of my favourites being so tricky to get right where a couple of the corners still catch me out - either entering them too slowly or overcooking them completely. All good fun...

I get full FFB if I put the Fanatec CSL into compatibility mode. Looks like a few other people on Steam have reported the same. It's the only game I have that requires this - hopefully it will be addressed when v1.0 gets released.

Further to this - made a start on the passenger side today. Weird how crap build-up isn't anywhere near uniform between the passenger and driver's side. The side of the windscreen leading up to the driver's A-pillar was pretty clean. The passenger side was clogged with s**t. Before:-...

Not a Pipercross filter that, is it? Keep an eye on it if is - mine collapsed around the collar within a week. A few others had the same issue too.

Nope. And I think if it ever does see the light of day, I bet it will be chargeable DLC.
