When I had a Clio I did a lot of research into various oils to find something more suitable than 5w40. I ran Valvoline VR1 Racing 5w50 with an oil cooler. The viscosity was identical to 5w40 spec at 40°C but thicker at 100°C so it didn't thin out as much. Couped with a 13 row oil cooler on a...

Get the cheaper one. I prefer DP, then just have a HDMI for a TV if you want.

I imagine prices are similar to DZ03G now. In which case, they're a better tyre. Run the hard compound up front and medium on the rear.

Plated diffs are noisy. If you wanted to make it quieter (best check it won't cause any issues with other components) then in BMW M cars there is a friction modifier in the OEM oil added which helps to quieten the the diff. You could potentially add some to your gearbox. However if you do this...

The Armstrong tyre isn't rated as highly as the Accelera 651

Only been playing casual since it came out really. It's handy because if you haven't been on for a while and just want to jump on for a couple of games you can get your aim dialled in on bots early on before getting to the last few circles. Had some good games on Friday night, one game I...

Windows and office will set you back about £40-50 for both,either through somewhere like G2A or sometimes on Groupon

Yeah that one would be fine

Depends on the noise. Might just be coil whine. Have a look at Fractal, Asus and Seasonic PSUs too. They're all pretty much as good as each other. Make sure it's modular, makes cabling easier. And mesh sleeved cables are a bit nicer looking too. Find reviews on fan noise if that's something...

Sapphire, XFX, Powercolor, ASUS Go with the fastest one out of the box at the best price. They're all much of a muchness.

9070XT all the way

I had a TTV SMF on my MK2. Drove beautifully, no issues whatsoever.
