    My take on New York ...

    Definitely one of my top cities. Love it.

    Quixx Headlight Restoration Kit

    Lol - you beat me to it. The starter grit in the kit is 2,000... I honestly thought that the manual method would be a right PITA, but it was all straggly-forward enough. I've got a Porta-Cable too - so might try Knuckles's suggestion at a later date.

    Quixx Headlight Restoration Kit

    Interesting responses guys. I've tried the 3M kit (twice) with little benefit - actually I thought the first attempt was a waste of money. I put it down mainly to my technique and the fact that I just couldn't get on with the circular pad on the drill - in terms of having proper control. I...

    That's the key - it's the long sweeping corners that you mention that are so difficult with a pad.

    S3 to 182 owner

    Welcome aboard! How's the 182 in terms of condition? Does it need anything doing straight away? I take it you've already had a heads-up regarding the belts on the RS Clios? And probably by now, the driveshafts will be past their best - though thankfully you'll be down to just two from your...

    172 Cup Turbo - Track Car

    Cracking effort! Not read all the pages of this yet, but well done. :cool:

    Gaming seat setups?

    That's FAR too dangerous on the wallet! I've done a couple of track days and they are automotive crack. I really could go stupid with them.

    Gaming seat setups?

    I'm after that paradox - something sturdy yet can be folded up (to an extent) and moved out the way. I really like racing games - have done for years. But I don't think I'd commit enough time/effort into them to justify a £500+ seat. Still something to ponder though!

    Dawn of War III

    The Beta is out soon, for sign-up.... @Brand86 Dawn of War III is almost here! We’re so excited to finally release the most spectacular Dawn of War title yet on April 27. Before we do that though, there’s one more thing that you guys have been asking for since we announced… The Dawn of War...

    Fast yeah, awful hell yeah. AMG A45 content

    I really like them. But the German hatchback comment is a very valid point. They look like an unassuming turd without the spoiler. Like most extreme examples of cars, without them - the buyer should be slapped across the mush.

    Flol - you c0ck! :smile:

    Gaming seat setups?

    Good stuff - as above, does the wheel base flex much?

    Gaming seat setups?

    How much do they come in at? Does the wheel mount flex at all with steering inputs? I presume that's pretty rigid and that you can't fold it away?

    Debating something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PLAYSEAT-8717496871572-REVOLUTION-REAL-CAR-SEAT-FOR-XBOX-PS3-PS4-WII-PC-WHEELS-/272550577044?hash=item3f7547c394:g:SasAAOSwjDZYm4fQ

    Gaming seat setups?

    Just wondering what people have bought or setup themselves? I'm after something that I can bolt the Logitech G25 to - ideally - along with the pedals and optional gearstick that I have. I want it to be bolted to a seat and frame that I can easily (within reason) move out of the way. As much as...

    Camera Mount Above Clock - 1*2

    Awwww. You're gonna get done and told off..... :tongueout: Epic work though - looks a good job. Section 10 of the Coinage Act 1971 says quite categorically (if at some length)... "Restrictions on melting or breaking of metal coins.. (1)No person shall, except under the authority of a...

    Weekend car - Accidental....

    *shudder* :unamused:
  18. Darren S

    Upgrade or downgrade ??

    My argument would be this. If you have any remote interest in the 182, get it. No doubt it will be taxed to oblivion at some point for having a 'dirty' 2.0litre N/A lump and even the very best, mothballed cars are well past a decade old. Grab one while you still can, imo.

    A few from New York

    Love New York - it's probably the only city other than Vancouver that I've visited and could easily see me moving to. We last went in January - brilliant blue skies and proper cold - which suited me perfectly! Did you manage to get anywhere near the USS Intrepid at all? For those that aren't...

    After a dozen laps with the XBone pad on the PC - managed to get into the 1.16's. As standard, with no course line, etc.

    Blast up the Cat & Fiddle

    I'll say again about the epicness that is northern Scotland. Book a few days off work - make a long weekend of it and the roads are yours. Get up there around now - up to early May and you avoid the tourist trains of coaches. Honestly, I spent the majority of my time in the 70-80mph zone without...

    Brilliant road - but isn't it riddled with speed cameras/traps these days?

    Great - another one I'll be crap at! :)

    Poor effort ...

    Does look lovely in white. As already said - Renault missed a trick there in having the 182 available in that colour.

    You use FAR more curb than I do - I'm sub-consciously concerned about the 'Invalid Lap Time' prompt appearing from running a bit too wide! Awesome time there though. Your car seems to drift more in the corners than mine with a pad too.

    Front wipers just Died

    A bit extreme, but you could get the replacement kit for a tenner - it clearly shows the rubber washers too... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1998-clio-wiper-motor-and-linkage-/201869176362?hash=item2f00572e2a:g:XLEAAOSwXYtY2UNQ

    No worries Leo. Been there and done that myself - thought it worth sharing the knowledge! :)

    Front wipers just Died

    Probably the one area of the Clio that I'm most familiar with - I've had that wiper linkage in and out and swapped over about 6 times in total! Worth getting some grease on the replacement swivel points while you're at it. Another word of advice - make sure that the linkage lines up with the...

    Steering wheel change gone bad!!

    Not sure. But I'm more impressed that your Clio is clearly a time machine. "September 2017?"

    I'm struggling breaking 51 secs with the pad and default setup.... Feels like it has all the delicacy of input, on par with a sledgehammer. Definitely think I'd be sub-50 if I brought oout the G25.
