    Lowering Springs

    Welcome :) Personally, if I was to buy a set of after-market springs - I'd be going for Eibachs. They are more expensive, but I'm on my second set now and would only really replace them with another batch of Sportlines.

    Clio 172, 182 and V6 Sales Figures

    Would have loved Recaros in mine, but I ordered it in September 2004 and as the list says, they weren't available then. :(

    Clio 172, 182 and V6 Sales Figures

    I wonder when the last update for that sat-nav was released?

    Clio 172, 182 and V6 Sales Figures

    I definitely remember the i.d paint cost when I ordered mine. At just over £12k, I thought the idea of spending a further 10% just on paint alone was crazy. If I had of done, it would have been on Petrol Blue all day long...

    Renault (group) #4..

    I need to do that on mine. I'm always wary of them still being damp and rolled back up. Did you actually remove them fully to clean them up properly?

    The pretty good Warpips is currently free on Epic. One of my few Perfect Games on Steam, where I've obtained every achievement.

    Never used that before - will come in handy at work. Cheers!

    Goodyear tyre issues from new (and other manufacturers)

    Either I'm numb to the feedback and sensations, but I've never really had issues with any tyre on the 182 - and that's included Contis, Goodyears, Michelins and Pirellis. The only one that ever did cause me frustration were the factory fit (and tiny) Pirelli tyres on my previous Punto GT. They...

    Windows tips & tricks

    Win+D is another one I use regularly - especially on multiple monitors. Just minimises everything and takes you to the desktop view.

    Windows tips & tricks

    As many of us use Windows based PCs on a daily basis, just thought it might be useful to create a thread on some usage tips that people might not know about. - One for multiple screen users when you want to just screenshot one screen. (I use this a LOT having three monitors at work) Click...

    Williams #148

    Got to admire the commitment - well done! :)

    Welcome aboard! Sounds very interesting with the 1600-spec racing car. Would that be used for rallying? Whereabouts in Finland are you? It's one country that I'd love to visit. (y)

    Hello and help !

    Hello and welcome :) Does the car sound like a Subaru when you press the accelerator? I'd be very inclined to believe that its an injector. It could simply be blocked after being laid up for four months. Strange how there's no code being retrieved though. I borrowed an admittedly high-end code...

    Opinions on this Private Collection 172 Please

    A shame that 172 is so well presented to then have a rear wiper delete? On a rear screen that gets caked in s**t the instant there's a bit of drizzle, let alone rain - I've never understood the inkling to get that done. At least it would be a straight-forward retrofit to put back on, should...

    Cheap CarPlay head unit in a Clio 1*2? Here’s an option…?

    Any idea how the top dash mounted displays cope in warm weather? Just wondering that in the summer months when it 25C+ and your car is sat parked up in the sun, are these units likely just to die a quick death? Oh, and with anything like this - a pack of these along with some trim removal tools...

    Forza Motorsport 8

    Not really. I bought the standard edition of FM7 a while after it had been released and within it, I noticed that there were several car packs being given away for free. It was only when I Googled the error from the Microsoft portal coming up during activating these packs, that the issue became...

    Forza Motorsport 8

    Don't think I'd touch another FM game after the deprecation of the official licences seen in FM7. If you bought the all-singing version from Day 1 - you were fine. Buy the standard game and then left the DLC purchase until post September 2021? You can no longer acquire the cars. I get the...

    Where does this go please ?? Cup 172

    Not too dissimilar to a 24-pin motherboard cable. You haven't got a PC that's suddenly stopped working, have you? ;)

    Mud Flaps ?

    Never understood why Renault didn't offer them as an OEM option on the RS models. The bottom picture is subtle and they perform an actual job. I'd buy a set today, if they came straight off the shelf.

    Titanfall 2

    Nearly five years of a thread-bump, but this classic is down to a mere £2.49 on Steam for the Ultimate Edition.

    PC Graphics Card Help

    It really is. At best, it's an indicator of the expected throughput of a game, but little else. It's like the drag efficiency of a supercar. It's important to its performance - but would you really be arsed if a special slippery version upped the top speed from 189mph to 193mph? I wouldn't. :)

    A good combat flight sim?

    Same here. Back in the late 80s, I was obsessed with Project Stealth Fighter on the C64. Somehow, I even had the patience to tolerate the painfully slow loading times, ejecting the tape and turning it over and pressing Play once more. I did kind of cheat with the missions though - having them...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Finally bit the bullet and nabbed the Deluxe version of this via cdkeys for the PC. I have my reservations about the controls (Rockstar games always feel awkward on PC) - but hopefully the game itself has moved on since the dodgy copy I tried to run a few years back. We'll see. :)

    Hello! Looking to get into Renaultsport ownership

    What is it like to drive in and around Hong Kong, btw? I'd imagine that the city roads are very busy, but with some great mountainous roads nearby?

    Hello! Looking to get into Renaultsport ownership

    Well done - and I'm glad you stuck with the winning colour of white! That's some garage of cars you now have! :)

    The perfect gift for the guy who has everything

    "Delivery can be negotiated at buyer's cost to UK mainland" I'd request it to be delivered by EVRI and see if those knuckle-draggers could try throwing that over the fence. The delivery image should make it clear enough though...

    Handheld consoles

    Might do that with my Vita? I hacked my PSP back in the day with the Pandora battery. The best thing about that was to divert reliance away from those bloody UMD discs that were so noisy and which drank the battery life of the PSP.
