    Expensive Volvo 340 Day

    What figures did these run as standard? Great purchase btw - totally bonkers and a very rare sight. Nice to see something unusual being tinkered with.

    [PC] Forza Motorsport 6

    Good find - might buy that if I get bored of DiRT Rally?

    JDM Imports - Canada

    A great place - I'd definitely recommend it!

    Clio 182 with a squeaking noise that isn't any of the belts?

    Exactly the same noise I had - and like you, just when the car was idling. A new gasket kit sorts it out. :)

    Clio R.S.16 Christmas Present

    I never, ever understand creations like this from car manufacturers. Those silly solar powered, 3,000mpg technical showcases are one thing - as are concept cars. Purely the minds of engineers and designers allowed to run riot. But when they clearly release a car that is SO close to viable...

    Let out by Leeshez

    @Leeshez Yesterday, cheers! :) The Beemer was looking all clean!

    Expensive Volvo 340 Day

    Didn't these have the gearbox right in front of the rear axle, iirc?

    Good find mate. Stuck them on my uPlay account now. :up:

    4K gaming monitors

    Even my ROG PG278Q is over £100 more expensive than last year. Glad i got it when I did!

    I'M BACK!!! With this beauty (dimma content)

    Dimma kits just make me shudder. Each to their own and that, but christ they are fugly to look at. The just look cheap and nasty - almost the epitome of what BarryBoydom is all about. I don't give a flying monkeys what people see me driving in. I'd happily pull up to work in a window-shaking...

    DiRT Rally

    I agree - that's at the very core of this game, I think. In Project Cars for example, you're focused on not upsetting the balance of the car. Usually everything is that stiff that any heavy-handedness results in a slide or spin onto the trackside. With Rally - you have to grab the car by the...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Picked one of these up on the way home last night. Hybrid cooler for the 1080 FTW. Looks to be a good piece of kit, though I'll reserve full judgement until I fit it! Got that, the EVGA PowerLink and a reseat of the CPU to do soon. That said, I'm assuming the PowerLink will fit at the end of...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Picked up one of these this week. Not cheap, but it works brilliantly. Stick on the Steam Link, wi-fi this across to the PC and it's RTS win on the main TV. :) http://www.razerzone.com/gb-en/gaming-controllers/razer-turret

    4K gaming monitors

    Four 1080s wouldn't do you much cop as nVidia has thrown in the quad-SLi towel. Unless however, you were an API hack/rewrite genius and wanted to force the cards to work together. Probably not worth all that outlay though!

    4K gaming monitors

    Totally agree with Mike's comments (@Silent_Scone) about gaming with 4K currently being a bit of a stretch. I have a 27" Asus G-Sync monitor that has a default resolution of 2160x1440 - a step down from 4K. With the GTX1080 onboard, there are a couple of games that get giddy through GeForce...

    Not sure I recall that one? I'll have a dabble to find out tonight, though. ;)

    DiRT Rally

    Yep - my mistake - it is the 60s Class, doh! :blush: I'll definitely have a dabble at that weekly event - see how good/bad I can do with it! Below was my first attempt at Monte Carlo in the Alpine. I almost got away without issue until near the end. Typical.

    DiRT Rally

    That's all I've used so far - in particular the Renault Alpine (what else? :wink:). Last night I bought the Mini and the other car in the '70s class - along with the Mk2 Escort as if money was no object. Not tried any of these new cars yet as I'm still liking the under-powered, tail-happiness of...

    225 engine Clio 200 not boosting fully?

    Are you using a garage local to Heywood? Just curious as to who that would be.

    My New VXR8

    I would. But that said, I have a similar dislike to the Audi range - it would take something monumental for me to even walk into a showroom - let alone be interested in buying something made by them.

    DiRT Rally

    Yeah - proper slow-down - however it has helped to 'correct' my car when I've gone a bit too quick at times! Thanks for the tip @Steve_RS2250 - I'll look into that. Seems a strange place to put the option of manual gears?

    DiRT Rally

    Loving this - but it certainly takes no prisoners! Hated the Welsh rally bit - it really confuses the car in how to behave. I do like the water splashes though - very neat effect. I actually find it easier to drive on snow than on the gravel and dirt of Wales. How things have improved in Rally...

    Cossie Clio

    I would say that my tastes in the appearance of cars, definitely swing towards the chav-end of the barometer. However - Dimma. Good God. If there's ever a kit to utterly ruin any car on this planet of ours - that is guaranteed to do the job. Truly hideous - even beyond the realms of an...

    DiRT Rally

    This is actually really enjoyable just with a pad. Granted it lacks the feedback of a wheel - as a rumbling controller can only do so much. I don't get that same sense of control with a pad in the likes of Project Cars. Currently second in the championship, just a mere two seconds behind the...

    New BG 182 FF owner

    I still really like mine, twelve years on! They do so many things so well for their price.

    Things you didnt know about your clio

    No idea tbh. It's just a plastic flap that unclips that allows easy access to that section behind the bulkhead. I remember when I first want to go down the aux cable & iPod combo and thinking how best to run the cabling. When I saw this access hatch, the answer was so obvious. :)

    Things you didnt know about your clio

    Used that every time over the last 12 years - something simple yet really useful. For me - the small flap at the back of the 182's glove-box. It's on a small clip to remove and makes the fitment of iPods and the like in there so much easier by feeding the cables through this opening. Out of...

    Battlefield 1

    What's that twin-SMG type thing that rips through both clips in no time? Only used it on the SP campaign, but that needs nerfing. Apart from the fact it takes an ice age to reload, the rate of fire just rips apart targets in front of you. Whether or not its as effective online, I don't know.

    Graphics card for video editing

    When you say a Core 2 CPU, are you referring to a Core 2 Duo? That won't be up to much at all and 4GB of memory is a bit short for Windows 10. A dedicated graphics card would be good - if you're budgeting around the £200 mark, I'd suggest the AMD RX 470 cards - ideally the one with 8GB onboard...
