tbf light bars look crap compared to good ol' lamp pods.

Are the Mk3s as good on fuel? No DPF shite? I was looking at a Mk2 as a daily beater a while back but if they're impossible to find a mk3 would do I guess.

I mean, I was... it’s long gone now, along with the car. The one I had, the screen would go pretty bright so it overcame the glare.

It's this, completely. They know that if they don't make it hard they'll get lambasted for making a 'roly poly loose mess', so they all do. And because they keep out-harding each other, it's a race to the bottom with the end result being a complete lack of suspension.

I will point out that I was exaggerating slightly, it's not ridiculously bad but it is firmer than it needs to be IMO.

I guess, but being bounced around like a brick in a washing machine is only fun for so long. Especially if you’re not really gaining anything from it.

I know it’s not necessarily like for like power wise, but I wasn’t surprised when you posted a faster laptime in the beemer than the Focus. For all that hard, crashy suspension, what did it actually achieve speed-wise, and was it worth all the discomfort all the rest of the time? Not really, and...

That R26.R looks wrong without the decals on it.

I much preferred the days when drifters all just ruined 3-series compacts. Now all of those are smashed up they’re moving onto the next victim. I know someone who’s gone into a partnership with another couple of owners and they’ve stockpiled like two shipping containers full of 340 and 360...

Dashcommand is pretty good, it’s what I use. Bear in mind that any generic OBD2 app is only going to do engine stuff. RSTuner module will do whole car diagnostics for £120ish (comes with a tune iirc) but CLIP is the best.

Problem is you could buy a Trophy and polish the s**t out of that for £8k. £5k would be probably the max tbh. The cup isn’t particularly desirable unless you’re going to batter it around a track which.... this won’t.

Got pwned back in 2018. That’s not good. tbf it always made me laugh when they were banging on about Military grade encryption - Anyone with any experience of anything to do with the military knows that means 1970’s crap tech at I-want-2050’s-tech-today prices.

It really pisses me off that the 11 got the wide camera instead of the telephoto. I’ve never thought ‘I need an EVEN wider lens than this already pretty wide lens’ but I’ve constantly tried to film stuff pretty far away and had to live with the horrors of digital zoom.

I pump the oil out 3/4 times and the other time drop the sump plug. It's miles easier pumping out (and I have to do it bloody often on the current car so it makes sense), but you don't necessarily get all the debris out of the sump doing so. So for that 1 time in 4 I drop the plug and give it a...

If you want a low mileage, clean 1*2 your choices are becoming more and more limited, so you need to pay more to get what you want. If someone’s just after ‘a 1*2’ then there’s still thousands of ‘em out there.

You had the choice of a Clio or a 22B and you took the Clio?

First year of WRC. Did you watch the video? :P So, so cool. I will own an impreza one day.

It’s not really about being the fastest mini though. If they wanted to build a fast mini quickly they could have done it in a fraction of the time. This is about build quality.

If it’s any consolation someone I race with is building an impreza drivetrain’ed mini and another has an 870bhp Quattro converted Mini. Still love seeing Binky though. Neither of those cars are still capable of seating 4 people, neither has aircon, neither has a stereo, neither really looks...

Cheers @sn00p I’ll have a crack :)

So where it lists; stick = Joystick(0) I can add a line to the effect of stick2 = Joystick(1) So that when I write the assignment I can set it as stick2.axis(0) for example?

It’s not about the actual weight but the gross weights listed on the car and trailer. So if your car is allowed to weigh up to 2 tonnes you can tow a trailer with a max plated weight of 1500kg. You can buy a trailer and get it downplated to whatever weight you need as well. Of course, don’t...

Bump. I’ve got a bit of a plan hatching but I need help from someone who knows Raspberry Pi stuff - @Old Tarby! ? 1. Will a Pi just boot and run the program loaded onto it without me having to plug in a keyboard and load it up etc? 2. Can you use a USB Hub with a Pi Zero to have two USB...

eBay racecars FTW. Oh wait.

Good to hear you’re doing well dude 👍

Yeah, the Clio is a good chassis, but it’s an old chassis. Expect it to fight hard against the 500, lose a little against the ST and be left by the N. Assuming the drivers are equal, anyway.

I was ready for those to look absolutely s**t, but actually they work. Nice one.

Ooft. That diffuser is mega-sexy.

I’m a little bit pissed off with DR2.0. The whole ‘deluxe but not deluxe’ thing is a pisstake and they aren’t really adding anything that new. I’m not complaining that the bugeye’s back. Bugeye FTMFW

Probably doesn’t even use the analog stick to steer on Forza.
