    Please help with Engine Issue - 182 2004

    Great pics - I love how the Nissan is left to look functional rather than concours condition. It all adds to the appeal of cars like this, imo. Btw - there's a strong JDM appreciation on CS - so I wouldn't be too surprised if a few questions or queries come your way! I went down the three...

    Please help with Engine Issue - 182 2004

    Would it be worth grinding/polishing the pistons too? No idea if there is any benefit in doing so - or if it's more hassle than it's worth! And besides - we need to see some pics of this drift Nissan of yours!

    Ian & Suzanne's Epic Black and White 200T's

    Nice pics! I'd love to hear that RX-7 above going at full chat!

    Evo 9 Clean (pic heavy)

    Mine was massively more capable than my meagre talents. I ran out of balls, loooooooong before the car said enough-was-enough!

    Please help with Engine Issue - 182 2004

    Stick with it Jontt. You've done approximately 682% more maintenance on your engine than the rest of CS put together! I'm no mechanic - but I would definitely be chucking new valves in, as per Dan. To get this far and rebuild it with 11-year-old components (weak ones at that) - simply doesn't...

    do clio sports always break??

    Don't forget - even if you bought one of the last 1*2's - they will be around a decade old now. That's 10 years of daily abuse, s**t on the roads, pot-holes, crap weather, etc. For what they go through, they are very reliable.

    GSync graphics cards and monitors

    Love the Noctua coolers - assuming I stay on air only (and as CPUs get quieter and less power hungry, why wouldn't you? :smile: ) - I'll get another for my next system. I think I'm just going to keep my setup for a while as I've already had my money's worth out of it, several times over! That...

    Moved to correct section. And bonus points for James to revive an 11-year-old thread!

    6 Hour Megane Detail (pic heavy)

    Great results! That Meggy doesn't look the most 'friendly' of body-shapes to polish either. Really need to do mine - and I simply have no excuses. Dry area, well illuminated. Access to water and a electric outlet. Extremely flat floor as well - I could even sit and wheel myself around the car...

    Abandoned/Damaged Artic Blue 182 - Plymouth

    Shithouses. Plymouth never seemed that bad when I was there. Why people would do that to someone else's car is beyond me. Even I wouldn't do that in a parking lot full of Audi TTs....

    Evo 9 Clean (pic heavy)

    Simply epic. For people who don't 'get' Evos or are mere badge-snob sheep - it's a shame they can't borrow a car like this for a day!

    GSync graphics cards and monitors

    I can't really get my head around why multi-GFX cards are an issue - especially when using two identical boards? Surely we've been using parallel processing and tasking for as long as we can remember - and simply splitting the load between two identical GPUs and reforming the image should be a...

    LY 182! (With a little bit of vee)

    A shame that - I wish an official OEM mud-flap kit existed on the RS Clios.

    GSync graphics cards and monitors

    It's definitely heading that way. I've not seen the actual results of a G-Sync'd monitor and card - but from the reviews I've read, it really is impressive. Btw - G-Sync is a technology that's proprietary to nVidia - you would have to check if your 290 is compatible with a monitor that supports...

    LY 182! (With a little bit of vee)

    It had mudflaps on when you bought it? Were they crappy ones made to fit, or something a bit better?

    Warm bonnet machine polishing? Over-cautious or genuine question?

    Cheers guys. I'll get the bonnet cooled down when washing it. Thanks again.

    Warm bonnet machine polishing? Over-cautious or genuine question?

    Chaps, I'm helping out a m8 who's bonnet has football scuff on it from kids playing near his car. He's about a 25 minute drive from me, but could I just make a start on the car straight away, when he gets to mine? Ironically, I removed three surface scratches from his passenger door about two...

    Headlight restoration - finally got there!

    I know what you're saying about a 'tad harsher'. The original 3M kit comes with 500 and 800 grit pads. I went straight in with the less course 800. When I redo them - I might get a slightly more abrasive pad before switching to the 800. Your results do look very good too though.

    Headlight restoration - finally got there!

    Well, after my thread a short while back..... http://www.cliosport.net/threads/headlight-restoration-kits-do-they-work.774357/ I decided to have another go last weekend. The fundamental issue I had previously was with the 3M kit itself. The circular attachment fitted to a drill, which is then...

    E3 Gaming Expo 2015 Thread

    About time that DOOM went back to its roots. Forget the crappy dark corridor set piece stuff. Hundreds of enemies with hundreds of clips of ammo to fire back at them. All it needs is a co-op mode too!

    You're meaning me there, aren't you? ;) Yes - I remember the Bards Tale series well - but preferred the Might & Magic series when New World Computing started those.

    Project cars

    Anyone tried the A-Class AMG yet? Good god - I hope those gear ratios aren't like that in real life! 1st - normal, 2nd quite long, 3rd normal, 4th - somewhere between 18th and 19th gear, imo. It's awful. If you change up anywhere below the redline in 3rd, it bogs down horribly. Good challenge...

    Steam - including latest offers

    Got the Homeworld Remastered collection for £10.19. I had such good memories of the initial releases - HW2 in particular.

    Project cars

    There was a pre-order promo for two DLCs through Steam on the PC. You got Limited Edition Upgrade and Modified Car Pack thrown in. Cleverly, they labelled them as DLC 001 and 002 - with the Racing Icons Pack (003) - being the first that I've had to pay for.
