    To be fair, both are irrelevant. Considering the New RS will use a 2.3L four pot. (just done me some reading)

    That was the special edition RS500. Doubt the standard one will have 350BHP. Its not practical in terms of Service costs. You know how tightly wound a 2.0-2.5L engine has to be to produce 350BHP?

    Working with ferraris

    I'm torn between this and the 599 GTO. Got a real soft spot for the GTO.

    Rhyl Trophy missing exhaust

    Hahahahahaha, as a person brought up in Llandudno this made me laugh.

    Assetto Corsa.... Where the hell are you guys, you're missing out!

    Hi mate. Add a little bit of a dead zone to the clutch pedal in the options. You want to go for around 10-15%. This should clear up your clutch Issues. I hate missing a gear on this game/sim, getting stuck in neutral right on an apex is not fun.

    Also, muliplayer is fantastic by the way. The way you book races is a little clunky and a pain in the bum, but the netcode and the racing is spot on.

    Clio or Renter...

    This. Crashing is pretty irrelevant really. If I crash the Clio or the rental... its going to cost money. I think I am more scared of the Clio coming to the end of its fairly abusive life. The poor thing is one of the runts that has been hammered from day 1, its still seems eager and quick...

    These were done. May check to see if they are still tight, or if the rubbers have settled?

    Clio or Renter...

    Replaced every part of the front suspension. I have no idea whats causing the knocking noise or the instability. Everything will be checked for tightness, a quick geo setup and a new set of tyres.

    Clio or Renter...

    Sounds exactly like what you describe. I have a set of Toyo TR1's at the moment. The fronts are very second hand. Almost full tread in the middle and almost to the canvas on the outer edge (Trackdays) The renting debate is also another factor. I never quite took the swift by the scruff of the...

    Clio or Renter...

    Hahaha, yeah. Its weird, it feels like when i turn the steering wheel the car turns, then it turns a little bit more on its own then settles, very strange.

    Clio or Renter...

    Came on here to get some others opinions. For some reason I am scared of taking my Clio around the Ring. Mostly for fear of binning it or the engine/box going bang. I think its on about 240,000 KM at the moment. Engine seems ok. Gearbox crunches in 4th, perhaps 1 shift in every 30 will...

    Anyone off here?

    Never even look at them. Its as bad as saying "watch this" to your passenger.... your going to have a bad time.

    Sim Racing & Driving

    The multiplayer code had a conflict with the single player code and so single player would crash, they held the release back and so this weekend was spent waiting for an update that never arrive.

    Sim Racing & Driving

    Would be well up for a server being set up. Multiplayer failed hard this weekend in the world of Assetto Corsa. If anyone sets something up I shall be in.

    Assetto Corsa.... Where the hell are you guys, you're missing out!

    It does push. I tend to go in a little hotter so it neutralises it. I downloaded "joux plane" from Richard burns rally for AS. The lotus on that a stage is epic fun.

    Assetto Corsa.... Where the hell are you guys, you're missing out!

    I learned to heel and toe on assetto corsa, I'm quite fond of the clutch and H pattern. Love flinging the lotus exeige about, it feels like I'm actually driving a car.

    Assetto Corsa.... Where the hell are you guys, you're missing out!

    Logitech g27. Its done me well, its been hammered and remained pretty reliable. I had a g25 before this but it broke. Its not that difficult to set up. There are 4 wires in total... pedals to wheel power to wheel usb to wheel Gear selector to wheel Its all pretty neat and its not difficult...

    Assetto Corsa.... Where the hell are you guys, you're missing out!

    Been part of project cars since its inception. I am one of the first round of investors (You chose how much money you invested into it upon purchase). Firstly yes I am using a wheel on both of these. I can not even start to describe the difference between using a pad and wheel, unfortunately...

    Assetto Corsa.... Where the hell are you guys, you're missing out!

    Yeah, I have a Logitech G27. The Logitech driving force GT is a good introductory wheel. You can upgrade the pedals and shifters in the future if you get into it. If not the two pedals with the flappy paddles is still fun enough.

    Assetto Corsa.... Where the hell are you guys, you're missing out!

    Nice selection of tracks now, also plenty of variation in cars to be racing. Its all about the physics and the feel through the wheel. I have never felt anything as close to life as this since perhaps live for speed.

    Assetto Corsa.... Where the hell are you guys, you're missing out!

    Just a heads up that multiplayer is released friday! Anyone who has a decent rig and a wheel should be all over this.

    Rear wheel steer....

    I'm running the red eibach springs. This is the funny thing, its almost as if I can feel the progressive spring rate on the rear. As you tip the car in at first it wants to come around and it then settles. Almost like a spring/damper deadzone.

    Rear wheel steer....

    Long left hand corner, sweeping high speed corner. Come into the corner at around 110-120kph. I turn in slowly and smoothly, car turns nice, then suddenly its as if the rear starts steering on its own making the arc of the car tighter, feels like the back steps out for a small moment...

    Grid: Autosport

    There has been a modern equivlent to TOCA. Based on the WTCC. The Simbin "Race" series, it caters more towards the Sim crowd than casual racers. They have a new one coming out soon, here is a sneaky vid....

    A ph1 Car

    Trust me. When you're hitting 90 mph down a narrow B Road at 2 in the morning on a road rally, you rely very heavily on those lamps.

    Stud conversion any good ?

    Not really much to like or dislike about them. They make it easier to put your wheels on. And they stop your wheels falling off just like the standard wheel bolts. Any particular reason you need them? Do you swap wheels regular on track days etc? Do you need longer studs for spacers?

    4-pot brakes stop a car faster?

    you are all wrong. Brembo monobloc. Close thread.

    4-pot brakes stop a car faster?

    Which is why race cars started using multiple piston calipers. Better modulation and even pad pressure. Pedal feel its much more detailed on multiple pot calipers. Its like comparing a single string guitar to a 4 string guitar, the notes you hear (feel through the pedal) are obviously going to...

    4-pot brakes stop a car faster?

    Not fully true. Pad size can be identical, the single pot poses no physically restricting attributes as to necessitate restriction of the pad size, in comparison to a caliper with more than one piston. Distribution of force however will be a factor with the single pot, so pad pressure will be...
