    Help me get more PC powa!

    Been playing a lot of assetto corsa (400+ hours now). I can't seem to get the graphics to look good. So... This is what my pc currently looks like... CPU: Intel i5 2400 3.1ghz (Socket 1155) Motherboard: Asus p8268-MPro GPU: Saphire HD7970 3 GB (gddr5) boost. Ram: Corsair Vengence 16GB (4x4)...

    Uniroyal Rainsport 3

    I had two of these fitted on the front of mine about 3 weeks ago. They are quite squirmy in the dry. Seem to have a lot of tread movement. Good progressive grip though.

    Part number required (I did search, I know its somewhere, but cant find it)

    What is the part number for the bottom ball joint? If I recall correctly its actually stocked as a Megane part ( or some other Renault) part. Also, do you think i should replace the whole bottom arm? These are less than a year old yet one of the ball joints has play. Thanks

    195/45/15 v 195/50/15.

    I'm currently running 45 profile t1R's. I have killed the fronts now so am looking at getting some new. I notice a lot of people run the 50 profile. Is there a huge difference? Should I be going 50? John

    Assetto Corsa and Rev's Simracing.

    Hi all, I know a few of you are using Assetto Corsa. I joined a group of guys from the UK last night. They are running two mini championships with Assetto Corsa. Great bunch of lads, quite quick (mixed abilities) and good banter. They run races on wednesday (BMW GT2) and Sunday (Formula...

    The best place to suspension for a Clio rally car?

    If money allows then proflex for sure.

    Wandering steering, clunk when turning.

    I'm currently looking to replace m whole sub-frame because of the same fault. Mine does my head in, its particularly bad under braking, follows the road left and right (weirdly worse with no engine braking ie: between gears shifting down for the corner) Would be great to hear off others who...

    Tyres for track use

    For those arguing about slick legality... It depends on the trackday. Each has its own rules and regs. Those stipulating "Road legal" require you to use E marked tyres.

    Tyres for track use

    I am going for laptimes because i'm a racing driver = toyo R888 (or similar) I am going for fun and like feeling the car gradually and progressively slide (thus learning car control) = some tyres.

    Subframe change.

    Decided I want to change my subframe. Perhaps I may be able to track down my knock and wandering suspension. How hard would a full Sub-frame swap be on the drive way with very limited tools (sockets and spanners)? Whats the best way to go about it? What will be the most difficult part?

    Best trackday brake set up advice please !

    Used to Road Rally with EBC green because i'm cheap. The pedal would often go because of some thing vacuum thing, never the pads.

    Best trackday brake set up advice please !

    I think people are breaking too early and longer (less pedal force) which is obviously dragging the brakes and would account for heat buildup. I'm no expert race driver, but I like braking sharp and late, nose points in nice and then you get the neutral balance and can adjust the exit nice and...

    Best trackday brake set up advice please !

    Understand where your coming from. Perhaps that's it? dunno though, and I recall a lot of non turbo'd drivers complaining too.

    Best trackday brake set up advice please !

    I need to see some vids of people on track. Specifically vids of those "Cooking" brakes. I may sound like a nob banging on about this, but I have never ever run out of brakes on the Clio. I don't see how people are getting the brakes so hot. Just for reference I did a trackday at the Ring...

    Honda civic type r

    Like for like, bog standard cars... the Clio has always been the better of the two in terms of chassis dynamics. You never hear of people putting Renault engines in Honda's now do ya? ;)

    Update on my knocking noise.

    I'm not sure, I am personally thinking anti roll bar. As it knocks on a sideways weight transfer.

    Update on my knocking noise.

    As I have said in other threads the knocking my car makes seems to be impossible to find. Its now started becoming louder and more frequent, this may (hopefully) help you guys diagnose it? It now makes the loud clang/clunk sound when I go through a chicane (i know its not a race track, but...

    I'm not a Ford fan though. I drive a Renault. Before that I have always been Peugeot. I have only owned one ford, it was a Puma. I do however understand sales, marketing and common sense.

    Could it be to lower insurance rates? Thus opening the car to a younger, less cash rich audience? An audience which happens to be larger than the niche market of only small number of the population that can afford to buy and insure 200BHP shopping trolleys? Probably not.

    Sim Racing & Driving

    To be fair, the G27 is usually regarded as being bombproof. Mine has done well over 800 Hours and i'm as ham fisted as you like. I also dropped it off the table a few times, still works. My G25 actually broke. That was because of the PCB's got burned out when my PSU failed and surged the...
