    A good combat flight sim?

    APKWS: because 91 laser guided rockets, each powerful enough to destroy an APC, on one plane. With room for 5 500lb bombs.

    You can’t say that and not post a video of you cacking yourself.

    The VR thread

    I’m really enjoying VR now. Still really only playing racing and flight sims, but it adds a whole new layer of immersion. I think I’m done with my Rift S though. The experience is good, but the resolution and field of view just isn’t good enough. I think the ultimate step will end up being a...

    What's your favourite car related YouTube channel?

    The F40 is the development of a not very good Group B car. The F50 uses the engine of one of best Ferrari Formula 1 cars of all time, and benefits from some seriously gucci chassis design. Controversial view, but I think it’s more controversial because the F40 was just so bloody fast and...

    I’m sure I’ll need this guide one day. To me, the ultimate Ferrari. Better than the F40 IMO.

    Performance tyres - is there any point anymore?

    Ah, shame there’s so little room to play with :(

    Performance tyres - is there any point anymore?

    Can you not go 10-20mm wider? Not everywhere is an inner city crawlfest tbh. Once you get out on the open road you can absolutely have enough fun to want something grippy. I understand that some people won't care about the ultimate performance tyre though.

    Microsoft buys Activision!

    Financially yes, morally, ehhh. No doubt not much worse than most huge corporations but they definitely could be better.

    Microsoft buys Activision!

    Dumpster fire of a company acquired by dumpster fire of a company.

    A good combat flight sim?

    You can certainly see why real pilots spend most if not all their time flying a single aircraft.

    A good combat flight sim?

    Yeaaaah. Tbh though you’ll probably only buy a few aircraft and a couple of maps, and during a sale. There’s no way you’d be able to remember how to fly more than a few planes at once so it limits you.

    Performance tyres - is there any point anymore?

    My apologies. PS5 looks interesting. Even more interesting is it seems the only place you can get them from is Asda tyres which is…. Unnerving. No reviews yet.

    I believe @MarkCup ran them and they disappeared at a rate of knots.

    What's your favourite car related YouTube channel?

    Tbh if you’re approaching a ford and you pass two broken down cars, see 20 people watching on one side and a guy with a camera on the other, and have to drive around a broken car on your way through, you probably deserve it.

    Performance tyres - is there any point anymore?

    Running a semi slick for road use is pointless IME. Unless you get some proper heat into them, something like a PS4 is better in the dry, and always better when cold/wet. Even the R888Rs I run for track use are broadly similar when cold to my PS4s in the dry… and they have an extra 120mm of...

    Performance tyres - is there any point anymore?

    It does annoy me that Michelin doesn’t do a PS4 in 195/15 as that would cover most older hot hatches, MX5s etc

    Performance tyres - is there any point anymore?

    Obviously, yes. My point is that good tyres = I can go flat Bad tyres = that is what would happen if I went flat Therefore good tyres make a difference.

    Performance tyres - is there any point anymore?

    My current set of PS4s are getting low. If it's a bit damp and I floor it on one of the onramps near me, it'll fry third gear. When they're new I can hook first in some conditions and 2nd everywhere else. Needless to say, motorway onramps are slightly less fun when you're doing 50 and your...

    My Sunny Gti-R

    You’d be slotting into Class A4 I believe? Depending on who shows up it can be pretty bloody fast, that’s the class I fell into with the Volvo. 550bhp Golf R is the car to beat usually. Know what you mean though, I’m yet to take a class win, but it’s a bloody arms race so not easy. Always...

    Yeah, just found some pics from the time. Don't do that with yours!

    My Sunny Gti-R

    I remember back in the early days of my racing (08-09) there were a couple of Sunnys competing regularly. Always epic fun to watch and fast too. Can’t remember the driver but a yellow one in particular, until it hit a tree a few metres before the finish at Mamhead. Always liked these cars as a...

    BTC tanking hard. Sub 30k by the end of the day? Glad I got out when I did.

    Volvo V40

    That is... wow. Yeah I'd be a bit miffed tbh. I wonder if it can be hacked to work like a catapult, if an old lady steps out in front of you it times the airbag deployment just right to launch the old biddy into orbit.

    [PORTUGAL] - Huge Renault Fan!/Renault Clio 182 rear bumper trims

    I’m guessing your best bet will be to import a bumper from a crashed 182 here in the UK or France etc. Your main issue is that you have a spare wheel well where the 182’s back box sits.

    A good combat flight sim?

    You can and lots do, but I haven’t even touched MP yet, I’d be shot down in seconds. Besides, I’m more of a ground attack guy than a dogfighter.

    What day will I get my car?

    It’s bad enough being born ginger, choosing to drive a ginger car is even worse.

    Locking wheel nut? What for?

    Think it’s for a Nissan or a Renault.

    EBC RP1 - RPX - Anyone used these yet?

    Nope, I use Bluestuff, which is actually a great pad already. Unfortunately I can’t get the RP-1/X in my fitment without them doing ‘lab pads’ otherwise I’d be giving them a go. Everything I’ve heard about them from people who’ve run them says they are fantastic.

    McRaes Focus up for auction

    Nah. Group B was 600bhp cars with 300bhp brakes, steering, chassis and suspension. They were barely any faster because they were so utterly undriveable. Also Group B wasn’t in the WRC era ;)

    McRaes Focus up for auction

    Yeah that’s the car pedalled by the likes of Duval, Martin, Hirvonen and Latvala. 04 was peak WRC. It didn’t get better than that.
