Yes. Not that I'd ever have condoned such behavior back in the day....... ;)

What little I could find about those tyres suggests they're very, very soft. That's probably how they got decent grip out of them while keeping the price so low. Running soft tyres with a fair whack of negative camber and after three track visits they're done doesn't sound particularly excessive...

Would these work with the cup recaros in a 200?

I still feel really old :D

Yeah the rules are very specific these days

Most of the very early ones were for hobbyists only, people who were excited by the idea of a digital computer that could actually process instructions which they could have in their home. You had one because you could afford it, were fascinated by the technology and wanted to learn how to use...

Nasty misfire and running on three cylinders. I wasn't sure which injector was at fault but the one I replaced was very difficult to get out of the head and pretty much fell apart in my hands once it was out so I'm pretty confident that I got the right one. After half an hour of running around...

Problem with a lot of the ELM327s is they are just too slow for Harry's to work properly and it can be trial and error finding one that actually works. I'd be looking at the OBDLink ones myself as you know they'll work, although they're not cheap.

I had an injector stuck open and the car stank of fuel at idle.

It depends. The misfire fault codes can get cleared by the car once the misfire stops. Given what you've replaced so far and the symptoms my money would be on a bad injector too. Just replaced one of mine, there's a guide on here and it's DIY-able with some patience and guts.

Replaced a failed fuel injector. It'd obviously not been quite right for a while, engine feels much smoother now it's been swapped. Did manage to pour an entire fuel rail full of petrol down myself. What a bloody idiot......

Had a play in one the other week, really sweet things to drive. Was half considering getting one as a daily and track car but no way I can fit in it with a helmet on, stupid short legs long body git that I am. Wish I'd not driven it now, has a lovely playful balance.

Definitely something I'd declare, it's a pretty fundamental change to the car and very visible so it's not like the assessor is going to miss it. I declare everything anyway, with a decent specialist insurer it doesn't seem to make much difference, but then I am really old ;)

Love the fact he's taken a nice close up of the allloy wheel with a nice dent in the rim too.

It's the bit in the black box, if that helps :)

It's not for sale anyway, so it's a moot point really :)

^^^ that

Looks like the whole classic car market is starting to feel a bit of a "correction", some high value stuff hasn't been making reserve in the last few weeks. The whole "car as an investment" thing may be about to start to look rather dubious after a good few years of insane growth.

Hold on, if you've had it to four places and they've all got it wrong how do you know they've got it wrong if you don't know what the settings should be? What's the problem you're actually trying to fix by getting the wheels aligned?

They're in the sticky at the top of this part of the forum: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/different-suspension-setups-on-all-models.308850/

Small world! I know the owner, he's a good bloke, he will be straight with you.

'course, you could buy my Alpina off me for that money :D

Might be cheaper just to buy a used console and play it on that TBH, assuming you get on with the controllers.

What did you record the video on? I've had good results from Microsoft's free "Movie Maker" software but I'm not sure how wide it's file format support is. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/get-movie-maker-download The other thing you could do is chuck your video file into Handbrake...

Yeah that card should be fine, so I guess it must be the CPU if you can't play it even at minimum settings. GTA V is very demanding all round to be fair.

I've had the same PC for about four years, haven't had to upgrade a thing. PC gaming hasn't really moved on that much in terms of power needs recently, although that's about to change with 4k gaming and the next gen consoles. 3Gb doesn't really mean much in terms of graphics cards, exactly what...

It can be very difficult because technology changes so much between generations. It gets even worse with some of the AMD stuff because their names are even more random than Intel's. Easiest way is usually just to google it or go to www.cpubenchmark.net and use their comparison charts, it's a...

Can get a brand new one with 5.9% APR PCP for £12,700 through a broker (drive the deal). Would be worth comparing against your current deal.

Hard to know if that's a good deal or not without knowing the deposit, the interest rate and the final payment. Four year PCP's can work out quite expensive because you pay interest on the balloon/final payment right up until the end. If you're flexible on make and model you can find some good...

You can get to it by removing the wheel arch liner too, but it's fiddly.
