Does anyone have any experience of the Collective Minds Drivehub? Got mine yesterday, connected it up and it's making the wheel behave really strangely. It has resistance all the time, even when not in game and, if you do try to use it, it doesn't recognise any steering inputs. Tried updating...

Yeah I did read about that. They have quite a short service interval, which I assume is part of it. I think they have made some changes over the original version too. What kind of oil does it take? Might pick up a bottle just to keep at hand in case.

Thanks...I guess?

Decided it was time to buy a new car. Had my Clio 197 almost a year now, but it's not ideal for my daily ten-minute commute through city traffic and, with our equivalent of the MOT due, I thought I'd buy something else. The problem was, what to get? While everyone immediately thinks of supercars...

Sorry, shite picture as was trying to snap it from a million miles away, between cars going past, but a modified 300ZX:

Surely if you can operate the on/off button, you're qualified for pretty much any IT role?

That Peugeot must be rare!

It's certainly going to be interesting to see how it plays out. With Geeley's money behind them, and Volvo tech to pilfer, there is potential for Lotus to make some good cars in the coming years. Whether that translates to sales is another matter. The Emira is a stunning looking thing though.

No different to Porsche I guess though. They have to make stuff like that so they can keep making sports cars.

Saw a Lotus Eletre for the first time. Not exactly a looker...

Just about the best looking car on sale right now in my view. Absolutely love them. No no, this is the hardcore performance version. All 100PS of it.

I assume the same as standard, as it's only a dealer special edition, so they're not going to have stripped it out. I think they're between 1100 and 1200kg.

More information about the 208 Rallye - it's made by Garages Stoltz to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the 205 T16, and has its own dedicated website: https://208rallye.com/

You weren't old enough to appreciate the meaning of "pink or brown", so your opinion is null and void. I think Active is about the lowest I've seen. A shame they don't do the 130PS 1.2 with a manual 'box. That would be enough.

Do you know how many Alien Green Clios are in Japan? It must be very rare!

I'd go back to that in a heartbeat. Great days. Far more interesting than people leasing a car, throwing the Maxton catalogue at it, a pops and bangs remap, and then removing it all before they lease the next thing and repeat the cycle. At least people were creative back then.

Welcome! Please put up some pictures of your cars :cool:

Saw this on Twitter earlier. Apparently a Peugeot dealer in Switzerland has been offering a modern take on the "Rallye" with the 208. It's basically just the wheels and sticker kit, but I think it's quite cool all the same. Based on the 100bhp 1.2 turbo. Always thought it was a shame that...

I see that Collective Minds are showing stock of the Drive Hub again. Put an order in, so hopefully it will work this time!

I spent some time over the weekend modifying my GT Pro Lite, as the position of the shifter was all wrong. The Logitech stuff is clearly designed to fit on a regular desk, so has a big chunk of plastic hanging down that means you are really limited on how you can mount it. With the Pro Lite, it...

Not entirely unexpected. We put far too much power in the hands of the vocal minority. I wonder if European events have the same problems, or if the moaners are told to shut up and accept that it's for the greater good of the local economy.

Just subscribed too. You're doing better than my measly 135 :LOL:

Scrap that, they cancelled my order. @Oggy997 - have they stopped making the drivehub or something? They've cancelled my order twice now and are showing no stock in the UK.

That's good news! I've ordered a drivehub from the US so I can add a handbrake to my Logitech. Big thing that's bugging me right now is that I've just started playing EA Sports WRC and the shifter doesn't work, nor does the feedback through the wheel. They really need to get some patches out...

Be sure to ask them about dampers too, as they play a big role in the ride. Ultimately, adjusting the damper rates is only a case of using some different shims inside the dampers, so it shouldn't be too hard for them.

Why didn't you like the Gaz? When I spoke to them, a set with custom rates weren't really any more expensive than standard, so might be worth looking into.

It's worth noting that a lot of companies will do custom setups. Doesn't @frayz have custom spec ASTs on his car? I've had some dealing with Gaz in the past and they would do custom rate springs and dampers.

Would really appreciate it if you could ask him. I really want to add a handbrake, as I hate using a button on the wheel, and it would feel more immersive. This looks to be the only way to do it though.

Thanks. Their info seems a bit contradictory. The website mentions the G923 but the user manual doesn't, so would be nice to have it straight from the horse's mouth about what I can use, especially as I am going to have to import it.

Everything! The article I saw didn't even say who it was made by, so knowing that is a start 😂 A recommendation of what handbrakes I can use with it would definitely be useful. Was just looking at the Collective Minds website and it only seems to mention the Thrustmaster CS. Also, in terms of...
