    Washing after driving in grit?

    Get an Evo and underseal is used to hide issues that weren’t dealt with in the first place! Mitsubishi floor-pans are a proverbial cheese board for rust.

    Washing after driving in grit?

    Not heard of that before - does make sense I guess. I might start to rinse mine just that bit more...

    How many KMs are too many for a 182?

    Depending on if a Clio has been in-country for a long time, you'll probably be less likely to suffer the usual long-term weather related issues that we get in the UK. Rust is one to keep an eye out for - certainly after 12 years. Seals are likely to start degrading by this point - I had an O/S...

    Dirty Cars 2017

    Mine is skank. The pictures really don't highlight how bad it looks. More silver now than BG.... :confused:

    Gigabit Ethernet switch

    That should do the trick. Just be a bit wary that the switch - while fully capable of gigabit, will unlikely to be able to cope with eight ports in heavy use concurrently. The throughput under heavy use can easily overload a basic switch. An example from home (granted, it's a standard BT...

    Gigabit Ethernet switch

    Yep - even the entry level stuff these days is semi-intelligent in terms of routing and giving out IP addresses. The switch will 99.9% for sure, hand those functions over to the router anyway. I would personally buy gigabit throughput as well these days. The small price drop alone for the...

    Anyone want some drugs? - New car content

    Not for me I'm afraid - I think I would have preferred the rareness of the Alpina, tbh. But definitely agree with the colour combo when the time comes to sell it. I would assume that will be snapped up in no time.

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    I think the only way SLi will survive is to make clear and better results through the likes of DX12 and the fabled ability to chuck several gfx cards all into one pot and utilise them as one. However, if the manufacturer of two identical series of cards are struggling to make it work (using...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Agree. Burnt my fingers so many times with that. On the very rare occasion it works - it works brilliantly. But then there's the counter-argument of just having a more powerful card to begin with? Such a shame. Definitely one of those 'could have been so great' technologies - but I don't think...

    if someone stole your car!

    Sad isn't it, that in this day and age that we all feel this way. People have died through their own stupidity, doing something that shouldn't have been doing in the property of someone else. Yet I'd be the same way. At the very last second on my Clio's existence - it took them with it. I'd be...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Had ED for ages, including the Horizons add on and a few other bits. Just never really put the time into it. I should do as I know I’d like it.

    Project Cars 2 Time Trial Challenge December 17

    Tbh - the stick shift (to use the Americanism) was wasted on me with the G25. It just felt a bit gimmicky and a hindrance to use, more than anything. That said, it can be switched to sequential mode with simple up and down notches. That might be a little better, I guess? Definitely want to get...

    '86 MK2 Golf GTI - Resto job.

    Nice. Don't these things (or is it Mk.1's?) have silly priced accessories like the GTI badge on the front grille and the red piping? I know you want to keep it original, but a very subtle drop in ride height really suits these, imo.

    Project Cars 2 Time Trial Challenge December 17

    How are you finding the wheel so far? Is it flappy switches for the gear changes or an actual stick?

    Arctic blue 182 (non FF?) - East Cowes, Isle of Wight

    Just got back to the ferry terminal now and saw it near the entrance.

    Project CARS 2

    See what you think of the pedal feedback too. A common complaint is that they feel far too soft and lack any form of feedback. I bought the below a few months back, but again, haven’t really had the chance to properly test how much difference there is over the original springs. Ludicrously...

    Project CARS 2

    I ended up getting one of the below from my wife as a Christmas present. I did really want one of the full sit down chairs and setup like what @McGherkin uses - but I just don’t have the space unfortunately. Hence mine had to be a full-away option. Looking forward to trying it though - I miss...

    Project CARS 2

    Has the wheel turned up yet? Would be interesting to see what your thoughts are on it within games. It’s a game-changer (no pun intended) with regards to the smoothness that you can go in and out of corners with. The two areas that immediately spring to mind are the Melbourne Hairpin and...

    [PC] - Company of Heroes 2

    This beauty is back on Steam for £7.49 for the Master Collection. Definitely recommended for anyone with even a slight interest in RTS games. Still plays superbly imo - I’ve even got a current skirmish save on the go from yesterday with me and an AI playing as the Russians against four enemy...

    Project CARS 2

    Quite liked the quick go of the demo I tried (thanks @McGherkin) - will probably nab it once it drops a little in price. Is there a full car list of what’s available in PC2?

    Help!!.PS4 or Xbox??

    I’ve no experience of the current gen XBox or PlayStation - but when I had both the 360 and the PS3, I much preferred the UI of the Sony. The Microsoft one annoyed me - perhaps why I stopped using it?

    Ipad air 2 - what case? what sim? what apps?

    There are loads of Bluetooth keyboards out there - I’ve got one and it certainly makes typing a fair amount, much easier. Definitely recommend the likes of Netflix and iPlayer as a download (amongst others) if you’re using it on the go.

    Project CARS 2

    I bought the uprated spring set for my G25 pedals, but I haven't used them yet. Got a new stand for the wheel and pedals - one that I can actually bolt on to this time. I'll be using that over Christmas - but I'm thinking of removing the clutch pedal altogether. I never use it and it just fouls...

    Very strange issue with the 182?

    I was thinking similar?
