    show me your car/trailer setup?

    I'd love to get myself a trailer setup, but I've got a tight 90 degree corner to get onto my drive and I don't think I'd be able to make it - basically a single track road with a 90 degree turn into a driveway just wide enough to get a transit down with a couple of inches clearance either side...

    Demon Tweeks, big deal on Toyo T1R

    T1-S was a far worse tyre than the T1-R to be fair to the R, the R was a good tyre for the price although not great in the wet, or the cold. I used them with no real complaints, but like I say it was a very, very long time ago. :wink: The Eagle F1 peed all over them by comparison, and that’s...

    Demon Tweeks, big deal on Toyo T1R

    They were decent enough, if never class leading except in terms of bang for buck, but that was about fifteen years ago. Ancient design, long surpassed. I’m genuinely mystified that they still have an almost cult following. I mean, they’re not lethal or anything but they’re still treated like...

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

    Got a Belkin Bluetooth keyboard/case combo on mine, can’t fault it. It’s tough, battery lasts ages and not too heavy.

    MarkCup's 2017 Ford Focus RS

    That's not bad, and also good that they didn't mess about, I guess the technical bulletins are out now. Either that or they watch your YT vids, power of celebrity and all that :D

    New car...again....Kit car content

    Seriously, stop it, once I've sorted my daily I want a 7-a-like for a toy and after the M3 it makes me look like some creepy perv who's copying your choices :D

    MarkCup's 2017 Ford Focus RS

    It's an unusual kink, but whatever floats your boat :D

    Mossy mint RB

    Goddamnit, I can't believe you're selling this, after meeting you I always had it in my head that if you sold one of yours I'd be all over it..... Lovely example mate.

    Tom’s 55 ‘RB 182’

    You’ve got me wanting another one now, stop it.

    MarkCup's 2017 Ford Focus RS

    As you say, at least Ford have acknowledged the issue. Aren't they on the verge of a full blown recall? I don't see they've got much choice, it's not something any car can afford to have hanging over it no matter how widespread it is in reality. Fingers crossed it's something silly like a leaky...

    Need a new iPhone...

    I’ve got an SE, if you don’t do much web browsing, emailing and tons of stuff with different apps and games it’s nigh-on perfect. Still works well with Waze in the car. I was looking at the range myself the other day and I think I’d go for a 7 if I was wanting one with a bigger screen on a...

    Wolfenstein 2 - The New Colossus

    Arrrrrgh..... I finally get an hour of free time, sort out a couple of jobs, decide to get some gaming in. 1.5Gb patch that I can't skip. Estimated download time on my current cruddy connection - 30 minutes. Sometimes modern gaming really hacks me off. I'm gonna play some Starship Command on...

    New 271bhp Hyundai i30

    Very true, my missus would be a case in point, she likes a "sporty" looking car that feels "nippy" but certainly doesn't need a hot hatch of any sort. Her current 207 GTi has way more performance than she'll ever need. She never takes it beyond three or four thousand RPM at part throttle, on the...

    I just wish I got time to play the bloody thing.......

    Wolfenstein 2 - The New Colossus

    I'm there too, I think the trick may be to At least that was as far as I got with it last night. Generally the tricky bits in all the Wolf games have a path through them, you just need to work out the strategy, which is a pain because the rest of the game lets you play however you want. I...

    Wolfenstein 2 - The New Colossus

    I'd say not absolutely necessary, but the emotional impact of a lot of the events will be much greater if you played and enjoyed the first game. Bit like watching Empire Strikes Back without having first seen Star Wars ;) If you just want a decent shooter and sod the storyline then nah you...

    Samsung Monitors?

    In terms of seating permission, with the curved screens I've found you're so much closer to them that where you sit doesn't really matter that much. They are really nice but personally I wouldn't pay much extra for one. Got a 34" ultrawide curved one at work and it's great for productivity but I...

    Wolfenstein 2 - The New Colossus

    @Darren S, agreed. I would have thought at least having most of the game content on a couple/three dual-layer DVDs would make sense, not the bare minimum. I can't really complain, Amazon upgraded the order to the "Welcome To Amerika" pack for no extra charge which also gave me some free DLC...

    Wolfenstein 2 - The New Colossus

    Couple of hours in now, it's awesome, absolutely brilliant so far. If you liked the previous games this is a no-brainer, dark, compelling, solid story, really good combat. Only reason I've stopped playing now is I'll already be in the doghouse for spending the last couple of hours gaming. :smiley:

    Wolfenstein 2 - The New Colossus

    Anyone played it yet? Reviews look good and I loved the earlier games. I've got it. My internet connection is a bit crap so I pre-ordered from Amazon on disc to avoid having too much of a download wait, was expecting the usual day 1 patch malarky. Wasn't expecting it to grab about 4Gb of 46...

    182 dyno graph - what's a good AFR?

    Does look a little bit lean, especially lower down the rev range. Wants to be about 13 at full throttle on these IIRC, but it's not like you're heading up to properly dangerous territory.

    Data logging

    Garmin VIRB here too, plus an OBDLink LX for data from the car. It links to my fitness band too for heart rate data which can be quite amusing :)

    RS 200 engine overheating

    Euro Car Parts, GSF, Renault themselves or a scrapyard if you want to save money would seem like the best places to try and find what you need.

    Renault clio mk2 vs mk3

    At that price point it’s a lottery, personally from the sounds of it all your car actually needs is a driveshaft so I’d get it done and stick with it. The Mk3 is arguably the better car but an early 1.5 diesel at £600 could just as easily be the biggest money pit in the world ever as it could...

    New Car....Again...E46 M3

    Yeah BMW have apparently recently upped the price of the SMG unit and, of course, will only supply the complete assembly and not just the bit that fails........ Even if the solenoid pack does go (which is incredibly rare) BBA reman will do a complete reconditioned SMG unit with lifetime...

    New Car....Again...E46 M3

    Yeah the SMG pump motor is the usual issue, £400 or so plus fitting these days which any decent specialist can knock off reasonably quickly or it’s DIYable if you’re handy with the spanners, so it’s nowhere near the issue it used to be. Not that I checked it out before buying an SMG car or...

    New Car....Again...E46 M3

    Nice one :) Got a duff coil on mine too, went south when I took it into work one day last week. Just a shitty idle and then after a couple of minutes it popped the EML on, other than that it’s all good so it’s sat forlornly on the drive waiting for me to get my arse in gear and get the spanners...
