    Mobius Action Camera - Cheap GoPro alternative/dashcam

    It needed its own thread really as it doesn't just fit in as a dash camera - it's much more besides. So what is it? It's essentially a budget GoPro, but about half the size, and comes with a range of different features and ways to configure it which make it incredibly versatile. It can do...

    Trophy, Plymouth

    Saw you coming out of Efford and through Higher Compton, pulled into the tesco garage. Looked damn clean, obviously took the same idea as me and washed it today.

    Dash Cluster pinout. Help!

    OK, so I've been using the following two pictures to try and wire up a 1*2 cluster, and it's not playing ball. I have the dials sat in front of me with the dash loom connectors still in them, and it just doesn't seem to add up. I've managed to get to this stage by connecting what in left to...

    *Gauging interest* Test Track Day, Haynes Motor Museum

    Hi folks. Haynes Motor Museum in Somerset have spent most of the year in redevelopment and have just reopened their test track (with new tarmac I may add). The motor museum has been completely rebuilt and has some awesome machinery there from all ages. The test track is available for hire, and...

    Heat Shield Thread?

    Anyone know the thread for those bloody heat shield studs? My middle exhaust shield under the petrol tank is sat on the exhaust but the studs are there. Cheers m'dears.

    Chilled cup holder?

    So the Notorious HOU is a Ph1 but with a Ph2 dash, and the Ph2 has a pair of cupholders in the central console. Driving back from bristol the other day I left my phone in there, and when I got home I pulled it out of the cupholder to find it was freezing. Turns out with the aircon on it slowly...

    FINALLY! Clio 172 'HOU'

    After 3 years of waiting, finally I have the keys to a Renaultsport Clio. But not just any RS, this is the infamous HOU. Owned by Daniel (again and again), Rob and many others. It's a Clio 172, Phase 1 but with a FULL interior conversion to Ph.2. It's not perfect, but it's bloody close. I have...

    Here goes. Dead clio pics inside.

    So I went to remove all my stereo and bits from the car today, so took the opportunity to get some pics of the damage. So the taxi looked like this; And the clio looked like this; Tore the exhaust off its mount; And displaced the interior slightly; So yeah, looking for a 1*2 now.

    Beam NG - Next Gen crash physics simulation.

    As a project run by a lot of the folks from Rigs of Rods, and using an updated version of the Node & Beam construction system from RoR, Beam NG is an advanced simulation which allows for complete or near complete deformation of car models. Result? Awesome crashes.

    Werrington Hillclimb 04/05/14 - Cliopreza Content.

    After taking a 2 year break from the South West hillclimb and sprint scene, I finally decided to get my arse in gear and go to Werrington, but for the first time I wouldn't be there with a car, so I wouldn't need to nip out of the pits to take photos and just watch cars going up the hill, I...

    Silver Clio 172 Ph.1, Plymouth.

    Had a quick chat at the lights on Crownhill road. Car looked very nice, I assume it's a track toy, with buckets etc.

    Trouble streaming Youtube videos.

    Having real problems here, for some reason youtube videos are NOT streaming to my laptop very well at all. They stream in HD to my iPhone, but can't even manage 240p on my laptop. The video occasionally streams part way, then stops, and cannot be restarted except by moving the time slider back a...

    Ginetta Racer gets hit by flying door at 140mph. Keeps his foot down.

    He may have floppy hair, but he'd make it as a rally driver ;)

    Photoshopped the 4RS. What do you think?

    I know it's a pretty pointless exercise as I'm not exactly going to be able to convince Renault to do this, but what d'you all think? Original Version 1 Version 2

    I thought my gearstick was a bit wobbly.

    :eek: (By the way, that's not oil, it's water from the screenwash bottle!)

    Here goes. DVD/TV/Satnav fold-out screen stereo.

    Has anyone actually fitted one of these to a Mk2 Clio (Specifically a Ph.1!) It's a single DIN unit, but that's not really the main problem. No, the main problem is that it has several modules to be attached (Bluetooth, GPS, Stalk adapter) , as well as a GPS antenna + Bluetooth microphone. An...

    Karting.

    Put simply, we're definitely doing it again after the success of last time. Looking to do a date in September, probably the first weekend of the month when everyone still has money! Like to see as many people going as possible, so feel free to bring mates along e.t.c. Plymouth could be the...

    Went For A Drive. Dartmoor Content.

    So, today I found myself facing the following questions: Have you recently fitted stuff to the car? Is the weather good? Are you as bored as a bored thing? Is the camera charged? Answering yes to all of the above (Dual Optics and 172 spoiler, hottest day of the year so far, VERY bored, and...

    Anyone any good at Visual Basic 6?

    I've got an app here which runs on VB6, but windows 8 seems to break it as every time I move it, the window shrinks but the display inside it doesn't. Would anyone be willing to have a root around and get it to work for me? Cheers!

    FAO Ph.1 Owners with Dual Optics and HID's Fitted - Important.

    IF YOU ARE USING DUAL OPTICS WITH HIDs, YOU MAY BE BLINDING OTHER ROAD USERS. Dual Optics, as standard, deflect part of the headlight beam upwards towards signs. With HIDs this deflected part of the beam (created by a cutout in the headlight shutter) will blind other road users. Not too hard...

    Windows 8/iOS ballache. Not communicating over Wifi.

    Right, my phone absolutely will NOT connect with my computer in any way over wifi. I can't wifi sync (although the phone occasionally pops up in iTunes, you can't sync etc as it decides that it's not connected after all), use iTunes Remote, or any other external applications (such as Wifipad)...
