    Basildon - centre of the 197 universe??

    Drove through there yesterday and in less than 10mins, spotted four different 197s? Shortly after, a silver Ph.2 172 and a 172 Man's Cup. D.

    L999 Man's Cup - Asda, Blackburn just now

    The blue of the 172 Cup stands out a mile off. Looked rather clean given the amount of rain/slush/salt/crap on the roads at the minute. D.

    Battery terminals - general question?

    Chaps, is it worth coating the terminals on the car battery and/or connectors with some form of grease? Or would you generally just leave them attached to each other 'dry'? Electrics are an arcane form of witchcraft to me, so any suggestions would be more than welcome. Cheers, D.

    Oxygen sensor / MAF sensor - one and the same thing?

    Had the orange engine light appear on the lower right of the dash on Friday night - and stay on. It was there Saturday and also this morning on the way in to work. The car behaves fine, no other issues at all. I booked it in at the local Renault dealership just to check and typically on the way...

    Over 10 years in waiting...... and my day finally arrives

    Some may recall reading Calum's thread from late December.... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?616106-Mitsubishi-Evo-VI-GSR-%28UK-Ralliart-No.-289%29-%A37800 Well, she's finally landed into my mitts. :clap: Everything happened really quickly. Perusing CS one day, I noticed a VI...

    Were they even playing the same game?

    I don't think I've ever come across such a set of opposing views on one game before. Between the game sites/media and joe public players....:S http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/out-of-the-park-baseball-2007 D.

    Watercooling - a realistic price?

    Chaps (Scone, Gareth, Munson, in particular) - what would I be looking at in terms of expense switching from air to water for cooling? I've got an i7 (LGA1366) sat on an Asus Rampage III Extreme, which iirc, is the same board that Gareth uses? I'm currently running two GTX460s as well and would...

    172 Cup at Snipe Retail Park, A-U-L

    Earlier on today on my way to the Trafford Centre. Remarkably clean for the salt-laden roads - unlike mine! Nice to get the acknowledgement back. :) D.

    SNMP supported - rackmounted temp. sensor?

    Morning chaps, Has anyone got a recommendation for a rackmountable temp. sensor - similar to the one below.... http://www.blackbox.co.uk/product/rkttemp/3/3/5/Miscellaneous/Cabinet-Accessories/Cabinets/ The one above doesn't support SNMP, but is sensibly priced. Some are ludicrous (like...

    182 horn problem - grrr

    The horn on my 182 doesn't work and clearly is a legal requirement for the MOT! Arse. So far, I've used a multimeter on the horn fuse connector and a healthy 12v is coming through when the steering wheel button is pressed. I've tried the multimeter on the single white wire that comes down to...

    Logitech G13. Anyone got one/used one?

    These intrigue me. I did have a Belkin Nostromo n50 years back and to be fair, didn't use it that much. I'm just wondering if a G13 has moved the device on somewhat - or if it's still a gimick more than anything? http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/keyboards/keyboard/devices/5123 Anyone used one...

    System builders help required... SLi connector

    Chaps, I've had some tearing in onscreen graphics with the two GTX460's - but only in a few games. Of the ones I've played over the last fews days since getting the SLi bridge, just Skyrim and Company of Heroes of shown tearing. BF3, Shogun 2 and everything else have been fine. My gfx card...

    Weapon....

    Should be installing this over the weekend at some point. Unfortunately, not into my PC however.... :( Being connected to three 27" Iiyama screens too, so hopefully it will look pretty impressive! Never really understood the need for semi-naked people/slightly homo-erotic pictures on gfx...

    SLi + Physx + i7 CPU?

    Chaps - what's the consensus regarding the Physx settings within the nVidia control panel when using SLi? It appears that you can set the Physx primarily to either nVidia card in the SLi setup. Or, leave it solely in the possession of the CPU to handle. Are there any pros/cons of a particular...

    PowerMac G5 optical drive replacement?

    Chaps, Can a replacement be pretty much any standard optical drive? Or does it have to be a specific one? The one at work has finally decided to say F.O to any disc you wish to insert. Cheers, D.
