    Mitsubishi Evo 5 RS in the sun

    It did concern me a little when I had mine - especially when a meat-head asked me if the Evo was for sale at a petrol station when I'd not even had it 24 hours. Touch wood - it never attracted any bellendness in the 2.5 years that I had it. I'd like to think that the scroats of today simply...

    M-Sport service park - Welsh Rally 2017

    My bad - I did put the wrong picture up. It should have been the graveyard of knackered parts behind Ogier's trailer with the WRC 1 bumper at the front. Still, even R5 bumpers at £7k aren't exactly pennies! :smiley: Apparently such parts are classed as 'expendable'. Not on par with the insanity...

    M-Sport service park - Welsh Rally 2017

    Couple of Mikkelsen and co-driver rotating the tires..... Briefly chatted to the bloke who owned the GT3 RS, who was following Mikkelsen down the hill too. Stunning colour of Porsche - especially with the yellow calipers. Even with the mud and crap all over it, the photo really doesn't do...

    Uploads going weird - will try to finish off again tomorrow!

    Haha! I even said that I felt uncomfortable in a sea of people wearing blue! :smile:

    M-Sport service park - Welsh Rally 2017

    ...Instead, we backpedalled up the route and found a random lay-by to watch the rally cars traverse between the stages. Even though they weren't a full chat, they were still impressive to see and hear. The 182 was really well suited to these north Wales roads. :smile: Plenty of non-WRC 1 or...

    M-Sport service park - Welsh Rally 2017

    Managed to get a couple of passes into the M-Sport section at Deeside over the weekend - mainly to support my nephew in WRC2 (Gus Greensmith) and to get some idea of what goes on behind the scenes. Inside the hospitality place... Ogier's service bay... Much effort needed to transplant...

    Mine's Unzen. Again, I've just tried to search for yours online but with no success?

    Mitsubishi Evo 5 RS in the sun

    Clearly part of the reason why values of decent ones are just going up and up. I wonder why all that ‘edge’ and focus from the Jap manufacturers of the 90s and early 2000s simply died off?

    Wolfenstein 2 - The New Colossus

    FFS - lol, have they not done anything with that? It's fine when there's the occasional ammo pack, but if its anything like the previous game, you find rooms littered with the stuff. Running around aimlessly and pressing an action button to the background chimes of 'Dur. Dur. Dur' as you...

    Wolfenstein 2 - The New Colossus

    Downloaded it today - but haven't tried it yet. Tbf @charltjr - I don't even know why they offer a DVD version when that only contains about one-tenth of the games' content? I've seen a few like that - it doesn't seem to offer any benefits for anyone? Even if they sold it in mainstream shops -...

    Mitsubishi Evo 5 RS in the sun

    Ah - good stuff. Great colour that as well. Not a common choice for Evos of that vintage left on the roads. There’s a silver V near me at home. Left under a tree and full of leaves, bird s**t and all other crap. Would love to save the thing and have the money to get it back on the road....

    Epic work. Was that restoration done over at Gaz’s place near Macclesfield? The buildings look familiar.

    Sorry for the late response @Geddes - I was away in Scotland on Thursday & Friday and then at the Welsh Rally over the weekend. BF2142 won't come up on Steam as it's an EA/Origin title. It is still there to obtain on that, if you want to get it though? I'm not sure there will be many (if any?)...

    Great response - cheers! Of the ones I’ve seen on the road - the vast majority appear nice and squat - the wheels filling the arches nicely and not going too much on the lowz.... Do owners tend to leave the suspension stock for the most part - or update it as a priority? The comment about...

    Twang/Crack When Turning

    Thanks for that. Why is this one part of the Clios so vague in terms of manufacturers, part numbers and pricing? I would have thought an RS steering rack is exactly that - something identical across all Mk2 Clios - be they phase 1 or 2. I’d consider the EPAS conversion more perhaps, if I used...

    Twang/Crack When Turning

    I think I might just bite the bullet and get an aftermarket replacement rack. KTEC are quoting £255+VAT and while that's not particularly cheap - it's a hell of a sight cheaper than the ultra-elusive Renault branded item. If the rack wasn't so labour intensive to get to and replace - I think...

    FNG

    Welcome aboard! Love the FRS's. I would personally go for this model due to the looks and the combination of the brilliant exhaust note. Straight out of the box - are there any weak points on them? I'm assuming they will have a healthy appetite for front tyres and of course fuel. But for daily...

    Twang/Crack When Turning

    Cheers mate. A new rack (assuming I could even get hold of one!) comes out at £676. I'd rather fancy my chances on a couple of bolts being replaced first! :smiley:

    Twang/Crack When Turning

    @MrBlonde - did the tightened bolts still fix the issue? Even from Renault, I've been told that the bolts are a mere £1.71 each. As a replacement rack is on par with finding unicorn's testicles, I'm wondering if going with new bolts would be worth it first? Cheers, D.

    I'm already Gaming Master Race all the way - I'd be insulted to be called anything else... :tongueout: Of course companies want to (need to) make money. But in this arena, its just plain daft. Look at the below.... So we have the G920 that suits both XBox One and PC and retails at £330. We...

    Not at all. @Oggy172 sees the point I'm making below.... Exactly. Agree what is allowed and what will be transmitted in terms of data between the devices. But more importantly - whoever 'owns' the licence - do it at a sensible cost. Or even better - free. That was just an example that I was...

    [PS4 / Pro] Gran Turismo Sport

    Protecting their platform by antagonising the very customer base they are trying to extract money from? It’s entirely idiotic - like refusing the HDMI output to Panasonic TVs because Sony has had a spat with them, for example. Push that too far and people start to walk. What would appeal to...

    [PS4 / Pro] Gran Turismo Sport

    But it's not though, is it? Phones are a daily device - something that most people have within reach at all times. If I didn't like iOS so much, I'd join the Green Robot brigade - but at least there's an alternative for my phone needs. Texting, internet, calling - can all be done with other...

    [PC/XBone/PS4] Warframe

    The game definitely doesn't lend to 'helping' the players. Part of me actually thinks it was designed to be like that - a bit standoffish. When I first started, it was a little overwhelming and even now, I still have to Google/wiki articles to find out what I'm doing. Some missions still don't...

    Epic! Just over-run my lunch break by reading the entire thread through! The only change I'd make personally - would have to painted the engine bay completely as well. Although you never see it - taking it back to the shell and not respraying it would bug me too much! :smile:

    New Clio owner from Australia

    To be honest, unless its collecting a small pool of oil, I wouldn't worry too much. My undertray always has a coating of oil splatters and the engine 'uses' oil at a very slow rate. I've accepted it as part of the engine's design and just kept an eye on the dipstick level. Have fun with the...
