'lo. Popped up to Smeatharpe today. Race car's not back on the road yet so no actual driving, so I took my camera instead to try and get used to it. First time shooting moving cars, and I need to use a bit more aperture with this lens I think as the AF doesn't really focus accurately a lot of...

Best engine.... in the world. I do like a un-fucked-about-with Mk2 RS. They look great as standard, it's just a shame there's so few that haven't been covered in monster stickers etc. My old boss has one, detailed constantly, looks lovely.

It's not far off the size of the wheel in the MX5! But I know what you mean, the OMP Trecento I had in the clio was my one favourite part. Felt like a proper go kart, but something that small would make torque steer a nightmare.

The Mobius is such an easy camera to hide. I literally do not notice it any more. Completely forget it's there.

What are these assists you speak of? I'd rather be slow than use traction control.

Yeah, there's a few ways to skin the cat. You could do as above, or use a seperate bridge rectifier, or use the two bulbs in series with a diode across each! Easiest option for those who aren't great with the soldering iron is to swap the unit out for one with a map light. You could then put an...

I might have to get in touch with this Ben as I'm due a set. Like the AD08R but be careful with standing water in monsoon conditions.

T1Rs are crap. I ran Nexen N2000s against them back to back and the Nexens were better. For a 1*2 I'd run Pilot Sport 3/4 if driven daily, and Federal RSR/AD08R if tracked. Cheaping out on tyres is pretty much the worst thing you can do because it's like having crap suspension, a crap engine...

Anyone seen the amount of RGB s**t released at CES? RGB water fittings. RGB audio jacks. RGB RAM. Christ.

Anyone shoot any video? I've just started to dick around with doing pans and b-roll type footage, this is definitely why you need something better than a £15 tripod, lol. Jerky! Lol, sound got muted. Not much to listen to anyway.

A/C removal will gain you 0bhp. It will, however save you weight. Whether that weight saving is noticeable, or worth it... Basically what you listed in the OP is about the extent of what you can do cheaply. Everything else will hit the big wall that is the sudden and steep Clio law of...

The Ken Block one.

Welcome, nice minter you have there.

Ooh, I never thought of using welding glass.

I've bought the ND MX5 (Jap DLC). Yeah, this car's actually accurate, pretty much. Kinda getting used to it.

Well this thread disappointed.

Tbf, the best test of a simulator's accuracy is when things get sideways as it's a hard thing to compute.

The physics are crap once the back steps out. It's not realistic, as you say. But if you're trying to drive cleanly it's more than acceptable. If you want to go sideways (or cleanly for that matter) then the best sim is still LFS. Likewise, I highly suspect that if you were at the wheel of a...

Get some mates round and a lot of beer.

GOTY edition has all the DLC. It's worth it.

Great for a track car. s**t everywhere else. As I learnt with my 172, lol.

2 at once? That's a rare spot!

I did a 1:09 something when I had another go before christmas.

All the hire cars I've had have been on Contis! I had an Astra GTC once on 245s, lol.

Advantages of a prime lens. 1. Optical quality 2. Aperture (i.e. better low light performance, bokeh etc) 3. Lens is smaller, lighter and cheaper.

Yes, and yes. Same chassis underneath too. I'll drop you a PM fella

Generic seaside shot #5. Anchor shot #294734

Not technically released in 2016 but I'm usually late to the party. (Plus I gave it to Dirt Rally last year and they both deserve to be GOTY) Gotta be Project Cars. It's not the most accurate simulator I've ever driven, but it's good enough that, when something goes wrong, I find myself...
