I think the car sounds have been a mix of authentic and synthetic. For example, a stock R34 Skyline seems to sound pretty similar in the game as it does in real life, but the Sauber C9 sounds are way off the mark!

There are two securing bolts that allow the alternator to pivot (one is nearest the front of the engine bay - you should see it poking through a curved slot, the other is nearest the engine) that MUST be slackened off before you fiddle with the nut you speak of. The nut is spun onto a...

I can think of at least 6 CSers from in and around Norwich (including us)! Morrison's/Riverside shopping complex car park is a popular spot so it seems, I guess with it being quite central etc. But I'd be happy to move on to somewhere else after meeting there initially providing everyone's...

Sounds good! Have you done many meets around Norwich before? And if so, are there any areas you've found to be decent for meets (photo opportunities and the like)?

Oh sorry, my bad - I understand what you mean now (I've been poorly and am on painkillers at the moment so bear with me haha)!

I was going by the Auto Express article's definition of the Fiesta models, but to the rest of us yes I meant a mk7

Mk6 Fiesta is more or less the same size as a Mk1 Focus!

Have the steering rack bushes been replaced too? I've read that vagueness in the steering can be caused by these if they're worn.

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco That camera does the job nicely! Money well spent I'd say :)

The number plate rule seems to be relatively well known (around on CS at least), but hey we all live & learn! As for the steering wheel; this is an interesting development! I had a change of wheel on my wishlist of modifications but now it seems like I'll have to add a few more in order...

I prefer the original wheels, but great job otherwise :cheers:

Ah fair enough! Cliosport Saturday will probably be the next most suitable occasion for a large convoy and meet I guess. After that we could always do a cheeky mini-meet on a Saturday sometime providing everyone's free?

We could always organise something for a weekday evening? It would mean an opportunity for some dusk-lit photos also :)

The best thing they could do to improve the handling on any of these new cars is to remove unnecessary lard. I believe the Insignia VXR is 1700kg+.....that's ludicrously heavy for a 4 door saloon!

Haha, I need to make time for coffee in the mornings! Do you work in Norwich?

Plus Gas (penetrating oil) works wonders too!

I don't think so no, but in fairness I wasn't paying a massive amount of attention!

Ah right - I've seen you on a few occasions! :) I'll be sure to wave properly next time.

Were you on the A146 this morning at all? I saw a silver Ph1 and a BG 182 on my way to work!

Re: Rough idle/running and running rich and high emmissions, garage cannot diagnose H Pre-cat lambda probably!

17 years old maybe, but the design specified the use of higher octane fuel nonetheless.

All I ever seem to hear about Kwikfit is negativity. Unbalanced wheels, stripped locking wheelnuts etc. Anyway, I wouldn't accept two different pairs of tyres - go back and tactfully whinge :)

This car ought to be on Barryboys if it isn't already! :)

The large circuit at Red Lodge is awesome - I love the flat out left hander at the bottom end! Haven't been to Wildtracks before - is it any good? Ellough Park near Beccles is great too, but it's not ideally placed for people from Cambs and MK.

Looks excellent! :) Does the wheel improve the driving position at all? I'm quite tall and have to set the rake of seat to slightly more upright than i'd prefer to compensate for the standard wheel being slightly too far away.

I have Norfolk wildlife in one of my tail lights too!

Haha nah I hadn't been drinking that night because I had to drive home later on! If I had been drunk then I would've probably shouted something along the lines of,"172! Wheeeeey!"

I noticed the 'Nitro +' branding on the pumps when I last filled up. Can't say I've experienced a change in performance though!

Ah I thought it may have been you! I was on foot at the point and wasn't near enough to wave/give the thumbs up.

I saw a Racing Blue 182 on the ring road by county hall whilst driving to a mates' house at 20:00 ish, then later on at around 23:50 I spotted a Monaco 172 heading onto Prince of Wales Road. Anyone on here?
