    W8 engine swapped Lotus Elise

    Great project, but that has got to be one of the worst blogs I've looked at. At first, I thought there was one page dated from 2017 and that was it? Car engineering might be his bag - web design clearly isn't - or for the person that he hires to do it.

    GPU upgrade - 2060 super vs 2070??

    Does this game have the best water effects to date? Genuinely impressed by them when I started playing it last night.

    Project Cars 3

    It was an interesting comment in that PC Gamer link that referred to the efforts made in PC3 with the controller. I personally could not drive cars in PC2 with the pad - despite my tweaking. I either ended up with steering that had the reaction time of an ocean liner, or it felt like I was...

    Project Cars 3

    This is doing little to convince me that they’ve made a sensible choice in being too arcadey. I think the Project Cars series carved out a nice little niche for itself - sitting somewhere between the likes of the easy-going Forza and the driving sim titan that is Assetto Corsa Competizione. Now...

    Boot-lock not working off the remote (182)

    Nabbed one off eBay and fitted it - all good again. As mentioned above - those bloody boot liner clips took the longest time of the whole job to line up. I’ve still got one that hasn’t clicked into place - b*****d thing!:rolleyes:

    Newbie with a clean unmodified 1995 Valver

    I really wish you well with this. Long term ownership with a car starts to get into that foggy-area where sense and reason no longer apply and the expense you kind of shrug your shoulders at! I really don’t think I could ever part with mine now. That’s not to say that I wouldn’t have another...

    Just wait until he gets used to K&M for the controls - especially on an FPS. He'll almost consign the gamepad to the bin!

    One of, if not the worst S3 I’ve ever seen

    I wonder if you could make a TV series out if this? Almost like a Tattoo Fixers program for cars where they try to recover the automotive gimp that the poor car has been transformed into and put it back to normal? Of course, the program wouldn't make any money - how much would a mint...

    Hi Bevo - the ones I have for sale are one here.... https://cliosport.net/threads/182-headlights.833811/ PM me, if you want to discuss further :)

    Petrol blue for sale on Facebook (if anyone is looking for one) NOT Mine

    Should be clanging away like Big Ben as a warning sign to any potential buyer.... So you want the buyer to pay top dollar for the car that you are selling. Yet conversely, you're happy to admit that you cut corners at every stage possible? Either sell it for the mediocre value that it's...

    Shoudnt the 172 feel quicker than this?

    I had a large amount of work done to mine recently and across the board, I can feel a change in the available torque. Not a neck-snapping change, but one where simply pulling out of junction and mildly accelerating when you pickup 2nd and then 3rd gear - it's certainly there. However, as...

    My New Forester Sti

    Not really relevant to the car. A bit like being judgmental to a p**n star because she doesn't have a Ph.D in applied mechanics.

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Still appreciate the consistency of our 150MBPS Hyperoptic package. Not ground-breaking by any stretch but works well for online gaming and downloads in general.

    Clio 182 Suggestions?

    Any evidence of the gearbox oil being dropped and changed in its history?

    Assetto Corsa modding (PC)

    That roundabout and road section is exactly the kind of terrain that we need to see more of in racing games!

    Are expensive waxes a waste of money?

    Have to say to the OP that that’s a nice looking Punto. Not a common sight on the roads at all and clearly looking tidy! (y)

    Clio 182 xenon lights

    Sorry both - I'll get some pictures up later today. Just haven't had the chance this week. Going to number each on the rear to make it easier to ask questions about specific units.

    Clio 182 xenon lights

    I should be over the next few days. Going to get some pictures taken and an assessment of the condition of each headlamp unit. I’ve got the pair of grey ones off mine and a spare driver’s side ‘black’ one.

    My BG182 Clio Revamp

    Absolutely great - I'm even getting used to the lumpy idle when cold! I park it in the underground, backed up to the wall usually and it's pretty loud, but in a good way. It's going for it's first oil and filter change on Saturday since the rebuild. Treating it to a replacement of Millers...

    GPU upgrade - 2060 super vs 2070??

    Might not be 'that' obvious in the difference if you're running at 1080 resolution. What should be noticeable as a big improvement will be things like draw distance, extra particle effects, lighting and definitely shadows. @SharkyUK might have some suggestions of certain game options that will...

    Misfiring 182

    Same that happened to me. I bought a new injector just to get the car up and running and when that proved to fix the issue, I bought another three and got the remaining ones swapped out.

    GPU upgrade - 2060 super vs 2070??

    Bought the full version in the Ubisoft sale last week, which should have been £17 and then chucked some of those Ubi Points that I never use towards it. Cost me about £12 in the end - though I've not yet tried it! ☺

    GPU upgrade - 2060 super vs 2070??

    Probably the 4GB memory (or actually 3GB real-world memory) capacity that that card has was the issue. At 1080, it's got the hardware to piss it - but with the likes of ACC using nearly 6GB alone at 1440, the actual physical memory is the limiting factor. Most modern games exceed 3GB VRAM...
