Anyone tried this yet? As per the usual, previous format - it's superbly stupid, insane, cheesy and completely OTT. That however is exactly what makes it great. I also have to say, that it has a significant body-count per level in it too and is one of the few games recently that still...

Hi all, Just a general question really as to what options of seats effectively 'bolt-in & go' for the 182? As many will have had and seen, mine are getting worse for wear after all these years. I loved the wrap around feel of the Recaros that came with the Evo VI, but I don't know how easy...

Hi all, Just after some advice and suggestions regarding the interior door handles on the 182. We all know about the crappy rubberised, sticky coating that comes on them and I was just after removing them and spraying them matt black. Is there a best-practice to this? Removing the remnants of...

My first project thread on here and one that’s a bit of a stretch to call it ‘my project’ as I did little more than agree to things being done! Anyways, a bit of back-story first… Back in November 2018, I created the thread below and kind of sat on it for a while...

Took a punt on it after having the game sat on my Steam wishlist for a while and noticed the Deluxe Edition being 67% off at £23. I've always liked the semi-serious arcadey approach to games like these - almost like the classic Sega Afterburner game with a bit of back-story tagged onto it...

What has happened? Where did it all go wrong? As an avid BF player from the original days of the BF1942 Tobruk demo, I've seen the series develop, evolve and progress over the years. The pinnacle (for me) without doubt was BF2142, where they balanced game progression with worthy upgrades...

I'm north of 3,000 achievements through Steam now - the majority have been worked for and required a bit of effort. Some are a joke though, requiring little more than launching the game in the first place. Others I haven't a clue how the other gamers have managed to obtain them. A slightly...

With my new-found liking for racing sims recently, I decided to opt for Assetto Corsa Competizione on the PC. As you'd expect, its from the same team that brought out Assetto Corsa, but focuses solely on the Blancpain GT series. https://www.assettocorsa.net/competizione/ That in itself is a...

....anything else other than the obvious oil change etc that is specific to these, that they should address? Runs well from what I can gather already - but any oil-burner specifics that they should at least look into, would be welcome. Cheers, D.

Do we have a list anywhere that covers all of the bushes, principally for the suspension, on a 1*2? Ideally, we could extend that out to cover the likes of exhaust mounts and, TREs and rear beam bushes - but it would be very useful to have a list all in one place. Bits get tired and when work...

Any thoughts in general about a noise I can hear on my car, guys? Unless it's one of those weird travelling-noise issues, I am 99% convinced that the noise is coming from the rear of the car, when I'm driving it. Under gradual, slow braking - say coming up to a set of red lights, I can hear an...

In white with bonnet mounted spotlamps - new style RS logos down the side. Pulled into the cafe car-park at Bala and left not long after.

Visited the parents yesterday and stopped at a shopping centre on the way over. The car had been fine, but when we returned from the shops, the 182 wouldn’t start at all. No clicks, could hear the fuel pump engage but zero attempt to fire when the key was fully turned. Did the quick self test...

After nearly 15 years I think the heatshield above the backbox is finally on its last legs. Over the years, I've added larger washers to some of the bolt sections after the highly robust Alcan foil sheet, has clearly worn through and no longer supported by anything. Could I simply just cut...

Before blindly attempting to fix this - what would you guys suggest? I've heard comments about boot solenoids, etc - but is this the first port of call? Essentially the boot is locked at the minute with the boot button in the diamond not being able to be pushed in. The key fob flicks both door...

Has anyone played Paradox's space strategy of Stellaris yet? It's been out a while (2016) and was initially plagued by issues, broken processes and general player frustrations. Now it seems that they have got the measure of most of the problems and have produced several official DLCs for it. On...

Seems like it would be a decent offer. Postage would be a b**ch though. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/national-heritage-sales/m.html?item=352695207429&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

Hi all, So, I've just fitted a Pioneer unit to my car and will be running the DAB aerial and the phone mic this weekend to somewhere in the cockpit. I was thinking of having the DAB antenna on the glass, next to the passenger side A-pillar - though I'm not sure at all of where to run the mic...

We drove past it on the inside lane - the Clio sat on a trailer facing backwards. No headlight units in it, but it clearly had a cage inside. Pretty sure it was a 172, due to the door badging, though I didn't see the rear.

First off - MASSIVE kudos to those poor victims of modern society who sit in Excel on a daily basis. I think I would prefer to chew on house-bricks than to spend any length of time trying to work out and at least begin to comprehend the logic used in formulas. I'm pretty sure that there's a...

This same thought has cropped up a few times over the years with regards to my 182. It's well into its twilight years now - and with regular posts of 1*2s being broken, scrapped or simply sold for peanuts - I've repeatedly thought about the revamp route. Why? Well I have a lot of personal...

Went to Euro Car Parts for a battery and there was a BG182 parked on the corner near there. CS.net sticker on the rear window too.

Must be something that I've done, but for the life of me, I can't think what. Yesterday I replaced the drivers side xenon bulb after it had stopped working. Naturally I did both headlights to ensure that the beam colour matched. I did notice that on the driver's side in particular, the...

Might be one to look out for earlier next year. Really liked the original game on the PC. http://dirtrally2.com/

Coming up to around 10 hours into this so far - approximately with a 50/50 split between online and single player mode. https://strangebrigade.com/en I think the easiest way to describe this a merger between the likes of Left 4 Dead 2, with an Indiana Jones background and setting. Essentially...

Chaps, Just wondered if the issue I've noticed this morning is more likely to be the ballast unit than the bulb itself? My man-mechanics brain thinks that if the bulb was faulty, it wouldn't come on at all? When I switched the headlights on, the driver's side xenon illuminates for about a...

I'm pretty sure that this is a niche subject - but does anyone play golf games these days - either on PC or console? I did have Atari Golf on the 2600 going back a silly number of years - which was followed by a title on the C64 which I've forgotten the name of. Besides, I didn't really...

My wife and I managed to get some hospitality tickets for the latest round of the BTCC through her work. Booked a local(ish) hotel for the Saturday and Sunday nights, with the plan to experience the full race day on the Sunday. Apart from the nightmare journey down with part of the M6 being...

Just thought it might be worth adding your favourite applications and utilities that you use regularly, but maybe aren't that familiar to a lot of other people. It goes without saying, please do add anything illegal, silly or inappropriate. It would be useful to get a little list going that we...

Managed to get up close and sit in this beauty over the weekend. ? In the confines of the garage, firing it up sounded like it was ripping Planet Earth a new arsehole. Raw, loud, raspy and very overpowering. It's got a multitude of options on the extras list, which is scary when the base price...
