Reg does tend to get reactions. From the odd smile, to just being called a wanker. I'll pass on those. Not a fan, they are actually quite hard to get decent wheels for. I want something cool in a 19" in a 9.5 or 10j width an ET45. For daily use. An a 17x10 for the rears for a set of drag...

Can't actually find a picture of the Clio. I had a 2002 1.2 16v with the optional CD player. That's how basic the spec was. It was essentially pauper spec in silver, I nearly got the yellow metallic colour they did until I saw one in the metal and was like URGH! I love yellow cars but that was...

No that was a BMW. Video of it somewhere on YouTube. Huge convoy trust the one BMW there. to be a dick. I started working around there so will see it quite often parked up.

So not updated this in a while. Thought I would come back on and do a small update. To cut long story short. Had to leave uni due to student finance being dicks. Unemployed for ages. Met new misses, nearly sold the Monaro. Misses said no to selling it. Basically she loves the thing, so I am not...

Out with the old. Fronts Rears And in with the new. Fronts Rears 330mm 2 pots and 315mm 2 pots, to 362mm 6 pots and 343mm 4 pots. Wheels are badly in need of a refurb, just have not decided what colour to do them in. Same as they are now, anthracite or black are the current options...

If you end up going, pop over an say hey. I'm rather easy to spot, the morbidly obese (working on it) 30 something with a beard. You literally cannot miss me.

It's on the Ace Cafe website, 9am on Sunday the 25th Jan. Think so far on the HSV forum there are about 30 cars signed up to attend. The thread is basically just an ever growing list at the moment with few actual posts. Believe some convoy points are starting to be posted in other threads...

Close, there were 62 2004 VXR's brought in. 21 in red, 21 in silver and 20 in black. Mine being number 40. There is a breakdown of every model and colour on the HSV forum. Total of 800 Monaro's came to the UK.

Ah maybe it's because it's less red, more maroon / brown right now haha. Absolutely no point in cleaning it with the current state of the roads and the weather.

I literally drove past you going the opposite way a few days ago. By that bridge and the Mercedez dealer ship. Around 11:30 ish.

So little update, Brakes are finally being fitted this Wednesday. Given up even thinking about fitting them myself with the snow and rain. So going into a shop. So AP's, braided lines etc being done. Also getting some more suspension bushes done. An I will be doing the trip to London on Sunday...

It's nice, I just think a V6 was the wrong engine choice. This is just going to sound wrong for a Ford GT.

Cheers Cookson, Hopefully I get it back today, if not will be tomorrow. Dropped it off yesterday at K&M Acoustics in Wigan. Then proceeded to make my way back home va public transport. Cost more than taking the bloody V8. An they wonder why people won't use it. Know it's not for everyone but I...

The Monaro isn't exactly a light car it's 1700kg. I just googled the MK1 QS as 1800KG seems mental for a TT. Apparently the MK1 QS is 1390kg, which at 290hp would make it a pretty quick car to be honest. I can see it beating a CV8 Monaro. If it's a VXR an still losing though, the guy needs to...

Monaros, LS1 an LS2. VXR8's are LS2 an LS3. The brand new Supercharged VXR8 GTS is an LSA block. They are all basically very similar though, to the point you can change parts between some of them. LT1 and 4 are new Vette motors, don't think they have trickled into everything just yet.

If it is a CV8, then I could perfectly understand that. There was a bit of a screw up with earlier cars. They got the detuned 330hp engine. An then just to make it even worse, they stuck the longest ratio box in they had with the longest rear gears too. The result is a 330hp 5.7 litre V8 that's...

I wouldn't say they are slow. They will hit 60 in 5 seconds in VXR guise. Thing is they are traction limited. Rear tyres are only 245's standard an they aren't great on the street for hard launches. They really need wider wheels an tyres on the back an it's a common upgrade path for them. They...

No badge at the front, did have an SS badge at the rear. Main give away is that SS's have the vented bonnet an the wheels. V6's run smaller different wheels, an no vented bonnet. Didn't want to stick a load of massive pictures in, not sure if people would have liked that or not. Parking wise...

So thought I would put up a little thread on the car. Seen them get recommended to people as an oddball choice, but thought I would lend my view on actually owning one for the last 18 months. An it's minor changes an future planes. I know Daniel loves these so here we go. Always had a thing...

4 now, did have 6. Current GPU only allows 4 though. I just found some odd issues in 7 that I could not fix at the time. As well as when I maximized something it went across all the screens unless I ran something like the Matrox software. I did have some issues in 8.1 for a while as well, when...

The 4 tailpipes have been a vette thing for a long time. People would complain if it didn't have them. Plus if a 4 cylinder Golf R can have 4, a V8 definitely can.

I personally really like 8.1. Most of the people that moan about it, do tend to be the ones using 7. So just see different as crap. It is very noticeably quicker in day to day use. id you're a gamer you get increased FPS over 7. An honestly I can't remember the last time I used the start menu...

Perfectly get winter wheels. Even more so on something somewhat powerful an rear drive. Been trying to find some reasonably priced 18" E46 wheels to stick on my Monaro for winter wheels, don't want staggered though. They will look s**t. However, trying to put 400hp down through wide low profile...

Anyone else on the Big Alpha for this on Xbox One? Only managed to play a couple games, an I was assault both times and it was literally over and done with in about 3 minutes. Yet to actually play as the "Monster" to know how difficult it is. Need to change my order I think to give it a try...

The 2CV while I wouldn't own one. Isn't really that embarrassing. Now imagine a 6ft tall, 20+ stone bloke. Driving around in a yellow Fiat Cinquecento sporting. With a front seat that had broken requiring me to drive it home with my legs up near my ears as it was stuck forward. It was not a...

Wasn't even considering Shadow of Mordor until I watched that. Now going to be getting bought once I am bored of Horizon 2 / Destiny.

Onkyo TX-NR616. Used to have some issues but firmware update fixed those ages ago. This is a recent issue that seems to be related to the One some how. Receiver is saying it's getting a 1080P signal. Often completely black, I tried unplugging the HDMI cable and plugging it back in as a trial...

Quick question. Anyone in the preview and running the latest preview firmware and connected to an AVR with their One? I'm experiencing some rather big bugs. Filed reports so hopefully this doesn't go out. As right now when waking up from standby it doesn't always work. I get a black screen and...

No real difference between format. Both XB1 and PS4 play at 1080P 30FPS. They are virtually identical to look at. You would struggle to tell the difference unless comparing them side by side. PS4 gets some exclusive DLC, but nothing major. Both will get the proper extension add ons at the same...

I want more than 6 players is what I meant. Just not sure if the hardware can cope or not. I know you can have up to 16 players in one area, think that is the current limit at the Tower? If they were all shooting though and there were enemies on screen as well. Would it be able to cope is the...
