Thought I'd have a crack at playing in the snow... it's epic fun and a completely different way of driving all your favourite circuits. Just for the lolz I got a DS3 RX out to see what kind of laptime it could manage on studs.

That 340 was awesome, I'd love one with a T5 in it for sideways fun.

For the price of a 40 inch 4k TV I felt it rude not to buy one. At the end of the day you can always drop the resolution if the PC hasn't got enough horsepower to run 4k smoothly, and who knows, further down the road you might upgrade the PC and be able to run it. Bigger is better, if you have...

Just to wrap up, have a shaky video.

Only really got one.. got wiped out by a taxi, bugger all I could do about it. Fortunately Clios seem to be a lot stronger in crashes than Corsa C's, Fiestas etc. Worst crash I've seen on here that someone survived was this;

1. The best tyres you can afford. 2. Gtechniq G1/G5 on the windscreen 3. DS2500s 4. Refreshed suspension. I think @DaveDreads isn’t much of a fan of the poly exhaust bushes, mine was held together with a socket and cableties though, which looked arse but worked.

Yeah, my dreams of a 1080 went up in smoke fairly quickly, lol. I game in 4k so would like the extra frames.

I get tagged in that almost every week, I bet it's even worse for leeds_940

Yup, they're 100% focused on Competizione at the moment.

PC is always going to be best for simulation if you're going to go down the route of making a sim rig - if you can stretch to it, do it. Out of the box, Assetto doesn't have a huge selection of cars, but it is the better simulation. PCARS2 is nearly as good now I think, not perfect but almost...

Yeah, the site’s only recently opened, they’re all taken from all over the place. There’s quite a few! I’ve just got a load of circuits and a few drift courses like Mt. Akina etc, but there’s all sorts on racedepartment.

Does it look as good as a proper RX7? Not really. Does it look bad? No. If it was launched as a car of its own then I guarantee a lot more would like it. I like it, but not in that colour.

They stop better than the ST calipers which are on there, which do cover the whole disc.

Can’t machine the bell as the allen bolts holding the rotor on are using that bit of metal. Rotors are fucked now anyway. Haven’t got any other pics of the clearance, about 1mm when stationary though.

Ground the pad backings back to the friction material and it was still knocking. It’s just way too close. I’d knock up a longer carrier to move the caliper further out, but there’s no more room behind the wheel.

But then I could argue that actually it’s as per the design of the system, now that I have evidence for that. I’m not too worried now I know that’s how it’s supposed to be anyway. Wish I could run those 2 piece rotors though :(

Found a photo of the original kit, the setup I bought was new unfitted, and obviously the owner had specced 2 piece rotors instead, looks like it’s the original intention to have that gap anyway.

Actually that reminds me, I used to complete Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory over and over again for fun. Great game.

JESUS. CHRIST. Now the DreadShed is looking properly nice, the next thing you’ll be telling me is you can drink more than 2 pints without chucking up!

The Volvo OE or the ST ones? I don't recommend the Volvo calipers at all, I currently run Yellowstuff in the ST ones (and they're actually still OK), but they're still not a track pad. I'd probably go for something like a DS2500 for road or for track a DS3000, something like that.

100% necessary, I can assure you! The pads in the Wilwoods are a lot longer, and the clamping force is a lot higher, so it does make sense. I loved how the wilwoods felt when I had them on, it was just the fact they were constantly twatting the rotor hats. That was on the gentlest compound...

Hi all. Was dicking around with the Volvo earlier. Some of you may remember I had real issues getting fitment right for my Wilwoods - the setup came with 2 piece rotors (see first pic), which were great apart from the fact that the hats were slightly too big, and hit the edge of the pads whilst...

Bumping a 4 year ol... oh. Was great fun driving the wheels off it, had a few people ask me if it was F4R swapped, lol

@mace¬

There’s always been car mods for Assetto, but this site is doing a great job of putting them all under one roof. Lots of tracks out there too! Try racedepartment for those.

@Sunglasses_Ron isn't that bad.

Looking great dude. Awesome work again Derv!

Keep checking that website boys, as cars are being added literally every day. Morgan Aero 8 GT2 today, amongst others. f**k yeah, love that car. When you inevitably hit 120gb worth of cars, you'll get a launcher crash when loading cars on startup. No problem though, I use this launcher now...

Wait until you see the real serious s**t I've got lined up. I don't want to say too much, but 100 cable ties, and driveshafts. Fred and Rose ain't got s**t on me.

Cover his car in yellow snow.
