Thank you, will go back to him and see what else he has, son's birthday in a week or so, he will have the money then to get one organised, am sure I will have more questions, thanks Tom for the replies, much appreciated
Hi all, me again, guy locally who builds PC’s has said the following spec:
Xeon E5-2667 V4 8 Core CPU
X99 Motherboard
16 or 32Gb 2400Mhz Ram
512m.2 SSD + 1Tb HDD
750W PSU
1660 Super or 2060 super
Price would differ if 32gb Ram and 2060 super
He’s saying £400/450 depending on spec, is that...
Thanks for the reply Tom, where is the go to place for used PC's? Usual suspects Facebook/eBay etc. He wants to get rid of his console and swap to a PC, have a guy locally who will build one for us but I really don't know a lot about what spec it should be or what is good enough
Hopefully posting this in the correct thread :)
Am on the lookout for a gaming PC for my son, 14 years old this time (birthday/Christmas present) but have only ever worked and used mac so it's all new to me. Am trying to work out a spec I should be aiming for, don't have unlimited budget...
@Struggler Sounded him out and he said that's something he could help with, he's up near Cambridge/Royston so not that close but not a million miles away, he's called Harry, he's on Instagram as @hr.fabrication you'll be able to see the work he has done recently, hopefully he can help (y)
Where about's in Essex are you? I had someone do some work on my Ph1 last week, exhaust related, not exactly what you are looking for but he does all kinds of fabrication, I could ask if he would be interested in what you are looking for (y)
Hope all is good Steve, what kind of price are the BC's if you don't mind sharing, still haven't bought any new for the Ph1, need to get something organised (y)
Shouldn't have sold my B14's 😂 thought it was a good idea at the time, interesting about the BC's, see them used on lots of other cars, are they a similar kind of price to the B14's? Mines probably not going to see track time just road/fast road
Looks great on track, what suspension are you running? Need to make a decision on what to buy/fit to mine got a leaking rear shock that needs replacing
Decided to fit the OEM side strips over the weekend on the flamer, carried on today and fitted the OEM door handles, car is dirty from sitting on the side of the road but it's looking good.
Am off to the Cars & Coffee at Bicester in the Clio on Sunday morning anyone else going down?
Cheers
Gareth
Am hoping it will be back on the road this year, it's not been on the road since 2012 so it's been a while :) not that I have owned it that long, am looking forward to taking it for it's maiden spin, love the mk1's
I have a mk1 16v, although it's currently not on the road nor has it been yet in my ownership, hopefully will fix that in the not to distant future will see what happens 😂
Cheers Rob, that's a great help, I downloaded Pure Motorsport AC delete fitting guides last night so that has helped also. Looks a lot easier with the engine out of the car
That's my worry, haven't driven it anywhere since, just trying to figure out what to do, it is also due cambelt so might get the garage to do all at the same time, would just have to get it there
Afternoon!
I believe from what I have seen (video attached) my aux belt is slipping/squealing, doesn’t do it unless the wheel is being turned and only currently when the car is stationary (guessing more load when stationary?) I am assuming that it is something power assisted steering related...
Made a start on the flamer today, aluminium bonnet in position (not bolted in yet) and added the cup spoiler off the titanium ph1 which meant the titanium got it's original spoiler back on. Also started stripping the interior and panels although that's not very photogenic, especially while it's...
Understand completely, definitely don't do it the way you are supposed to, where's the fun in that 😂 I keep toying with the idea of turbo'ing the titanium but again haven't gone for it, maybe the main problem is I can't decide and don't want to mess anything up, should just probably go for it...
Keeping my eye on this, have looked at ITB's a few times just haven't gone for it, drove an ITB'd Ph1 a few years ago and it sounded epic, I am sure you won't be disappointed
