Wow - the phoenix of a Clio rises again! Seriously - this car must be on the verge of becoming an urban legend with what its been through!

I ignore that - just yet more pressure to deal with. 🤣

It is - but from a strictly commercial perspective, that clearly doesn't work as well as an open ended/car collecting driving game. Fairplay to them to push the hardcore sim route as personally, I find it much more rewarding to play. It would just never sell as well as the likes of Forza and...

Some of my half-arsed attempts from earlier as I was trying to show others about ACC. Lovely grind-down of the quality through YouTube again. ;)

I just think its too focused. And while anyone interested in cars or racing would 'get it' as a game - it just doesn't have the garage and car ownership appeal of the likes of Forza and many others.

I guess there is little choice other than diesel for huge torque, decent enough economy - and importantly, continuous reliability. Imagine battery packs trying to provide the above running 12 hours a day for months on end!

What's Cummins's view on the impending doom of fossil fuels? Are they going all hybrid or looking into hydrogen cell technology, etc?

Keep stalling the b******s pulling away from the pits... 🤣

Makes me laugh at how many studios out there are bouncing ideas around, desperately trying to come up with something that will sell well. Yet Valve have sat on their arse with this since HL2 : Episode 2, back in 2007. Not only that, but the potential for L4D3. Both games would sell by the...

Sounds like some fetish search on Pornhub...

With my new-found liking for racing sims recently, I decided to opt for Assetto Corsa Competizione on the PC. As you'd expect, its from the same team that brought out Assetto Corsa, but focuses solely on the Blancpain GT series. https://www.assettocorsa.net/competizione/ That in itself is a...

I'll take that - close enough! :P

Yep - definitely had it that! I think iirc, you need a 17mm socket for that bolt. Could be wrong be I recall it being a weird size when I did mine a good number of years back.

As per @DrR above - very easy to replace yourself with a socket set and a jack. MUCH easier than the fronts anyway.

Meh - my replacement A50 PU rod idea didn't exactly go according to plan. Stripped the brake pedal setup again last night to insert the new load cell. Typically, the cable on the new load cell itself was about an inch too short, we then required drilling a feeder hole through the base plate...

🤣

Sat about 5ft across the desk at work from me... 🤣

Nice! I found the throttle quite subtle in difference - but the brake was night & day difference. Iirc, the cylinders that the spring fall into are all the same diameter. There would be nothing stopping you in putting the stiffer spring into the throttle, I guess?

I remember when I first got into IT in the late 90s and the media costs of those dye sub printers was eye-watering. No doubt the print quality and end results are second-to-none - but so expensive.

My 182 was £12.2k through Lloyds-TSB Car Finance. Picked it up from Renault Manchester. Renault Manchester had the same car themselves for sale at £16k. Lol.

I think back-dating them makes the cost seem very prohibitive! I didn't get the first edition so can't comment on that - but the other two have been really worth it. One of those Sunday afternoon things to flick through and read if you've got a bit of time to kill. I was a little concerned that...

Same here. I strangely find that my mind wanders when reading stuff in electronic form. I noticed this first when I got a Kindle - on which I've never finished a book, yet could easily read through a printed equivalent. The last printed car magazine I've bought has been two editions of The Road...

Hated the pointless number chasing of weapons in the first game. Number chasing existed in the second title, but not as obvious as in the first game, I found. As with the first game, by far and away the most enjoyable part of it was the first 15-20 minutes. Still seems a silly...

Lol - the first question that came to mind for me as well! Cracking photos - nice mash-up of cars there. Australia is big on the rotary market from what I gather?

Looks like the brake pedal has gone back to being a lottery when you need it. Nothing, nothing, 40% - wham 100%. Or worse - downshifting to a corner and just nothing coming back from the middle pedal. Hello Mr. Barrier. So.... took a punt on a replacement load cell through eBay (less than a...

For a company the size of Microsoft - it is shockingly bad. That said, I always thought that the PlayStation UI pissed all over the XBox one as well.

Old thread bump - but adding my comment here for reference. Mine did exactly the same as the above - both the OPs comments and those of Whetty above. Literally pulling out of a junction in 1st when it went - was the driver's side driveshaft that munched itself.

They are known as a weaker point on the RS's - but my 182 gearbox has only started sounding noisy after 165k miles. A lot will come down to how it has been driven in the past and of course, maintenance.

Have you got the gteye mod yet for the springs? Well worth it, imo.
