    Why is buying a 172/182 so hard?

    I genuinely think that this view is only going to get more ingrained as more and more of those EV things become popular. "What, so I don't plug it in at night and it works in the morning? Why would I want that?" As mechanical requirements within a car diminish, so will the interest in them -...

    Xbox controller on PC

    Are you running Windows 10? There’s an XBox Accessories app that checks the status of the pad itself and whether or not it requires a firmware update. It will only run and check when connected via USB, however.

    Gear stick - all the same?

    Just thinking if there's a lot of mechanical crossover between Renault and Nissan - perhaps auxiliary items like gearsticks could be interchangeable too?

    Car Alarm Woes

    I'd do the cheap option first - who knows how old that fob battery maybe? It certainly wouldn't do you any harm for a couple of £ to swap it either.

    Assetto Corsa Competizione

    I'm not too sure on the consoles. For PC, it's v1.5 with some pretty impressive updates just to the physics alone... PHYSICS: Fixed tyre pressure reset on used tyres when pitting without tyre change. Motec control channels frequency upped to 60Hz. Fixed Motec bad offset when comparing...

    Gigi the Gordini’s thread

    I don't know much about the GT dCi models at all - good to see that your hunt for one paid off! Would be interested to see the before/after pics on a white car. There's an Audi All-Road near me that looks straight and dent free, but the white paint is dull as anything. Kind of makes me get the...

    Missing Australian-delivered 172 phase 1's

    Either that - or the likes of Mabel having ordered a Sunflower back in the day because she liked the colour and it was a small car - and it's still to this day, pottering around sun-bleached Darwin. ;)

    AC reinstall, parts needed?

    Absolutely nothing wrong with changing your car - more so if you're swapping it with a more tidy example of what you've already got! Be a bit selfish if you're breaking your old 182 - stick hold of a couple of bits that are either tricky to obtain or that you'd like to get refurbed and put on...

    W8 engine swapped Lotus Elise

    Great project, but that has got to be one of the worst blogs I've looked at. At first, I thought there was one page dated from 2017 and that was it? Car engineering might be his bag - web design clearly isn't - or for the person that he hires to do it.

    GPU upgrade - 2060 super vs 2070??

    Does this game have the best water effects to date? Genuinely impressed by them when I started playing it last night.

    Project Cars 3

    It was an interesting comment in that PC Gamer link that referred to the efforts made in PC3 with the controller. I personally could not drive cars in PC2 with the pad - despite my tweaking. I either ended up with steering that had the reaction time of an ocean liner, or it felt like I was...

    Project Cars 3

    This is doing little to convince me that they’ve made a sensible choice in being too arcadey. I think the Project Cars series carved out a nice little niche for itself - sitting somewhere between the likes of the easy-going Forza and the driving sim titan that is Assetto Corsa Competizione. Now...

    Boot-lock not working off the remote (182)

    Nabbed one off eBay and fitted it - all good again. As mentioned above - those bloody boot liner clips took the longest time of the whole job to line up. I’ve still got one that hasn’t clicked into place - b*****d thing!:rolleyes:

    Newbie with a clean unmodified 1995 Valver

    I really wish you well with this. Long term ownership with a car starts to get into that foggy-area where sense and reason no longer apply and the expense you kind of shrug your shoulders at! I really don’t think I could ever part with mine now. That’s not to say that I wouldn’t have another...

    Just wait until he gets used to K&M for the controls - especially on an FPS. He'll almost consign the gamepad to the bin!

    One of, if not the worst S3 I’ve ever seen

    I wonder if you could make a TV series out if this? Almost like a Tattoo Fixers program for cars where they try to recover the automotive gimp that the poor car has been transformed into and put it back to normal? Of course, the program wouldn't make any money - how much would a mint...

    Petrol blue for sale on Facebook (if anyone is looking for one) NOT Mine

    Should be clanging away like Big Ben as a warning sign to any potential buyer.... So you want the buyer to pay top dollar for the car that you are selling. Yet conversely, you're happy to admit that you cut corners at every stage possible? Either sell it for the mediocre value that it's...

    Shoudnt the 172 feel quicker than this?

    I had a large amount of work done to mine recently and across the board, I can feel a change in the available torque. Not a neck-snapping change, but one where simply pulling out of junction and mildly accelerating when you pickup 2nd and then 3rd gear - it's certainly there. However, as...

    My New Forester Sti

    Not really relevant to the car. A bit like being judgmental to a p**n star because she doesn't have a Ph.D in applied mechanics.

    Still appreciate the consistency of our 150MBPS Hyperoptic package. Not ground-breaking by any stretch but works well for online gaming and downloads in general.

    Are expensive waxes a waste of money?

    Have to say to the OP that that’s a nice looking Punto. Not a common sight on the roads at all and clearly looking tidy! (y)
