    Noob with a Black Gold 182

    Hi Steve, Are you down in Plymouth by any chance? That backdrop looks familiar? Yeah, not a fan of the wheels myself, unfortunately - they 'cheapen' the look of it, if I can be so bold? Are they 15s as well as there appears to be a fair amount of arch gap - or is it not on the Cup Pack...

    Replacement CV boot

    Don't forget to de-grease the inside rim of your alloy too. If it's dumped the lot in a short space of time, the splatters on the inside will translate as vibration/slight woble through the steering wheel. I've cleaned mine over the years. Simple warm water, some Fairy liquid and a cheap sponge...

    Battlefield 1

    I used to have the opposite. The amount of times I'd spawn near one or two squad mates and as I'm selecting the ammo pouch, they've already ran off. I'm legging it after them down a hill or something, shouting at the screen for them to "f**king stop" and take the ammo. Inbreds. Reinstalled it...

    BG182 once over

    Now you're just giving me ideas...... :smile:

    BG182 once over

    That last point you said is making it more difficult for me to part with it. Especially from a financial perspective - it would be struggling to represent a deposit on a new car! But it's the fact I've been everywhere with it. Down to the south coast, the northern tip of Scotland, blats through...

    BG182 once over

    Still my daily driver too :smiley: Thanks for the kind words chaps - I do try to look after it. Anything it needs, it gets. I tend to go for earlier than planned maintenance schedules at Birchdown, as well. If something randomly failed catastrophically with it - then, meh, s**t happens. But...

    BG182 once over

    Had it since new mate - early December 2004. 140k+ on the clock now. :blush:

    BG182 once over

    Knowing that yesterday was overcast and warm, I thought it was a good opportunity to give the 182 some cleaning TLC. It hadn't seen the Porta Cable in probably a good 5+ years, so it was in desperate need of it. There are still some tar deposits on it - the clay bar ended up being disgusting...

    Cleaning an induction kit filter?

    Same here. But then I use the oil spray on it afterwards. Rather than get your hands coated in the stuff as well, I normally chuck the freshly cleaned filter into a carrier bag and spray into the bag. Then just keep squeezing and kneading it until it's properly covered.

    Nice one. :cool: It would just be nice to use it and team up with other CS members online...

    All, Just as a reminder that there is a Steam group setup for us, should you wish to pay a visit. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Cliosport Originating from 2009, there have been no discussions as yet - but 30 members are on the list. It would be good to be more involved online with players...

    Regular Car Reviews 182

    Bloody hell - 25 years? I thought 10 or 15 years was bad enough....

    Regular Car Reviews 182

    Same! We take the ageing small hatch for granted and often forget that such cars are simply a no-no in places like the USA. As expected - he knew next to nothing about it - only really having knowledge of a Honda Jazz/Fit for comparison. He also seemed genuinely interested in learning about it...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    There needs to be. I gave up on the original on the 360 as I couldn't aim for s**t using a pad. With K&M inputs however - now then......

    Destiny

    It doesn't have to be though. Sure, if you're going 4K with all the bells and whistles on - that isn't going to be cheap. But you're in control of that sliding scale on what you want to spend. You can also approach is piecemeal too. You've also got access to a library and back catalogue of...

    Destiny

    I'm thrilled with this current trend of mainstream games (Prey, et al) making much more use of the PC version - than the usual console-bound limitations that we have upon on release. Long may it continue! TMR!

    My Brother - Video Games Artist

    I guess there has to be an understanding and expectation that a lot of your work doing that, will simply be 'forgotten'? I know there are some games where you vividly remember a scene or a particular level - but how many rooms, corridors and environments do you pass through and not recall a jot...

    Good bargain that! Unfortunately I'll be sticking to my standard 1080 for a while.

    Creaking low speeds and after a drive

    Ball joints? Do you get a creak when simply moving the steering wheel side to side a little when stationary?

    The New Phone Thread

    How quick are they at fixing software on Android? TomTom is hardly an obscure developer - I could understand some indie dev having issues, but not something as mainstream as that. I have around 50 apps and games on my iPhone 7 and iPad. Apple issued the 64-bit only warning (finally! - welcome...

    MarkCup's 2017 Ford Focus RS

    Wha??? Are you sure they've taxed the correct EcoBoost lump? That's half what I pay on the 182.... :yum:

    Forza Horizon 3

    Personally I think DIRT Rally is a good one. Not sure how it performs on console, but on PC with a pad, it's really enjoyable. The fast, sweeping sections are genuinely sweat-palm inducing when the car gets a little air and is literally skimming the surface. It's great when you dab the handbrake...

    Yep - it's massive. I think it's the largest game install I've had to date.

    That why flaps help. Flaps always help!

    At first glance, I thought those were scratches above the front wheel arch!

    MarkCup's 2017 Ford Focus RS

    Once again, I see flappage. Protecting the paint - but also on a car like that, looking epic. :cool: Are they factory options or aftermarket ones?
