Ironically, I finished this about a fortnight ago. The ending's not particularly tricky - assuming you haven't got the difficulty on insanely high. As mentioned earlier, the fact that you have to press a key/button to pick up ammo or armour is infuriating - especially when things get really...

The place I was working at required you to be suited and booted, too. I looked a prize bell-end getting out of that at work. Needless to say, I copped for a fair amount of flak from colleagues too. The ONLY saving grace was that it used like an egg-cup's worth of petrol that entire time. And I...

I can beat that. Circa 1999 when my Punto GT was in at Fiat...... a pink Cinquecento was given to me. For THREE fecking days...... 😞

I'd hazard a guess that they don't require anything special than standard maintenance, either? Clearly well designed and arguably, an under-stressed unit in standard trim. You've clearly got a lot of potential miles left under the belt!

Nice. Will save on your heating bills I guess, mate! :tongueout:

Will be interesting to hear your thoughts after a few weeks with the Clio - given your previous hot hatches.

For me, this is where the BF games completely overshadow the likes of COD. Admittedly vehicles are a bit of a weak point in BF1, but usually they are pretty good. I remember the old days on BF2142 storming into a base in a walker with all guns blazing. Then realising that an engineer (or two)...

If you're online, probably. As the AI bots clearly aren't much to write home about. :smile:

Season Pass is being given away free through Origin for this... https://www.overclock3d.net/news/software/star_wars_battlefront_s_season_pass_is_now_free_on_origin/1

I wish he'd just push for another Touring Cars release! :cool:

The poor sound engineers best be looking for jobs elsewhere. Imagine the work involved for Formula E? A backing track of a desk fan couple with tyre squeal. A veritable audio feast for the eardrums.... :sleeping:

A great 7 minute or so summary of the Rexy....

I watched over 40 minutes worth of rotary-based YT clips during the weekend. I think I might be getting a little obsessed.... :smile:

Speaking of sound cards, just a heads-up for those using onboard audio. Mine has the headphone amplifier feature like many mobos and sound cards have these days. What isn't immediately apparent is that amplifier is only active when using the front ports on the case - not those on the rear of...

@Daz... - just a quick change in the profile setting for the fan graph. Interestingly, the pump defaults to a slow speed too - I've upped that to Performance with no change in noise level. Will be tweaking this over the next day or so.

The issues are all purely down to the online medium as well. If you switch to any of the single player campaigns, it almost feels like a different game in its accuracy and feel. I really liked the entire campaign. Just a shame the online stuff didn't follow suit.

The biggest issue I had when I used to play it online. Simply don't bother with it any more.

You get to see little glimpses of what the VI is all about in that vid @adamlstr When you leave it in 4th going into Paddock Hill Bend, you can sense that you feel you should be entering it slower - that you should be in 3rd, yet the car simply handles it. I know full well that when I had...

Is that a dedicated sound card at the bottom of your slots?

Dropped it to 4.6Ghz and its been playable - no crashes. Though I'm finding the Corsair Link software to be a tad frustrating to use, especially after I applied the update. It does nothing on its quietest setting - then literally panics and gives you a full fan blast for 3 seconds if you so...

Watched this earlier. If only I had pockets deep enough to keep this four-rotor lovely going! :hearteyes:

Is the alternator the correct one? The Renault dealership that did mine took three attempts to fit the correct one. Even that failed a few years later - lol.

The massively time consuming bumper light swap out earlier on. Tbh, the original picture doesn't really show just how yellow and discoloured the original lens got. Nice swap-out for a couple of quid and about ten seconds of effort. Clearly needs another damn wash too!

Impressive! I take it that went with a bang?

I see. Is there an increased likelihood of injectors clogging up when the car is used for a long time on crappier petrol?

Bloody hell - that 160 lump must sound like a waste disposal chomping on spanners! :smile: You're probably right on the head gasket and other bits - I don't actually know myself. I do know that having it screaming away just several inches from the back of your head is intoxicating. The...

I'll be honest - I've literally put a couple of minutes into it - more to set it up than anything else. I know there's a Motorsport Manager 2 in the pipeline too, so it might be worth holding out for that? Having said that, if it's been cheap on Steam once, it will be again.

Do you actually see any debris coming from the cleaning process? Or is the build-up microscopic?

Yep - I nabbed it back then too. :smile:

Got to say, the K-series that's powered the Lotus 340R I've driven a few times has been bomb-proof. It had the extra Lotus approved package that took it to around 190bhp and has been given death everywhere its been. It makes a rotary engine sound smooth on idle - it really is that lumpy. But...
