    Want to buy the gearstick to match? ;)

    List of squidgy bits?

    Do we have a list anywhere that covers all of the bushes, principally for the suspension, on a 1*2? Ideally, we could extend that out to cover the likes of exhaust mounts and, TREs and rear beam bushes - but it would be very useful to have a list all in one place. Bits get tired and when work...

    Clio 172 ph1- black, OEM restoration.

    Great effort all the way through. Surprises me that such good examples get anywhere near a scrappers to begin with. That before-and-after bonnet detail - lol! Just all it needed was some time and a bit of effort....

    Clio 182 pretty much dead - what to do next

    If you don't want to attempt any of the fixes yourself - work out what really needs doing and see if some jobs are related/close-by to one another? It's usually the labour that stings anyway, so if a couple of jobs are side by side, you'd save that way.

    To add to that - I downloaded Destiny 2 via Steam on Saturday as well - that was 83GB alone.

    Help setting up Raid HDD setup

    Went for RAID6 myself with the 4x 2TB drives in my QNAP.

    Help setting up Raid HDD setup

    I think the most complex it gets is remembering your Apple ID and your wireless password to get access through your router! It really is a doddle.

    Help setting up Raid HDD setup

    MacBook's are ridiculously straight-forward to reformat and start again with. I know my background is in IT, but the easy steps of installing Windows 10 is equivalent of putting man on Mars compared to the reinstall of MacOS. Literally (assuming your hard drive isn't knackered and you're happy...

    e91 335i. The Unicorn.

    Looks good! What makes it 'rare' as such? Not wanting to sound like I'm being condescending - just interested. Is it the shape/engine/year of release?

    Wow - that's considerably less than I thought. Especially as I'm north-west based as well. Damn. You've got me thinking now! :P

    Niall's BG 182

    Out of interest - what did the engine work come out to in terms of cost, if you don't mind me asking?

    Niall's BG 182

    Cracking work. I really just wish there was a wonder-solution to the bloody headlights on these! Would be great if they could just unbolt with the bumper in place and spending some decent time on them rather than struggling with them in situ. Looks like I'll be having a go at mine again soon...

    Me too - but the instant I see them, I just imagine one being driven by a sweaty East German called Klaus, making a rendezvous to escape to West Berlin. ;)

    Would you consider PvE more than PvP? If so, Warframe is definitely worthy of a mention. More so if you’re playing in complementary roles & ‘frames.

    Another heads-up with a fairly obvious point. G-Sync and Freesync values are one thing - but Windows still thinks it knows best. Without overriding the setting, your fancy new 144hz or 175hz monitor will still be set to 60hz. Make sure you check out the Advanced Display Settings within Windows...

    Something for the AMG boys from yesterday.

    Not for me - though I do like the colour. Parks like what you'd expect from a TT owner as well.... :P

    Swapped out my main drive on the PC yesterday for a Samsung 970 Evo (thanks again @adamlstr (y)) I've attached some performance stats of the difference in speed, not only with my previous M.2 drive - but for comparison, my 2x 2.0TB 7.2K SATA drives in RAID0. Pretty impressive improvement...

    The other possibility (and apologies if this sounds a bit patronising) is to check on the drivers themselves. Creative say that I have the latest ones on their website. Yet a simple check here revealed and installed much newer ones from Creative. Be wary of 'Microsoft official' ones too -...

    That in itself is more than enough reason to get a G-Sync monitor. It really is one of those situations within an FPS where the output more than justifies the outlay.

    Be a little open minded when it comes to G-Sync. You're still at the mercy of how well devs actually create the game that's in front of you. I've had occasional games that play a lot more smoothly with G-Sync switched off and a manual V-Sync applied. Although rare, it does happen. That said...

    With regards to the sound issue, it could simply be driver related - though that's never always fixed issues completely. Having had various Creative Labs cards going way back to the SoundBlaster 16 ASP, I did experience a lot of clipping with a card years ago. As a temporary measure, I switched...

    Audible 'rotational' clunk from the rear under light braking

    Any thoughts in general about a noise I can hear on my car, guys? Unless it's one of those weird travelling-noise issues, I am 99% convinced that the noise is coming from the rear of the car, when I'm driving it. Under gradual, slow braking - say coming up to a set of red lights, I can hear an...

    T9 ECF - M60 Ashton Under Lyne

    Used to know the lad who's family had the farm on the corner of Lumb Lane - that backs onto the old Littlemoss High School/now academy. David Cook was his name - was i my class at school. One of my other classmates moved onto Woodleigh Drive too, which could be the same street you're mentioning?

    Just make sure you've got the right power feed for it. I would have thought a 1060 would be 1x 6-pin?

    You've a whole batch of issues going on there - lol. The clipping noise will likely be down to the bus getting saturated with data - there are too many resources/devices trying to buy time from the system (CPU & memory) and the whole thing simply isn't coping. What mode do you currently have...

    A good card for all round uses - especially if you're at standard 1080 resolutions. More so if you've got it for peanuts.

    I know Littlemoss - I was originally penned to go to Littlemoss High School back in '86 when I was leaving primary school, though ended up going to Stamford High School. Both have been demolished now from what I can gather? I was in Crowhill, near where the current Curzon Ashton football club...
