    Does anyone like loud exhausts?? Help??

    I have the KTR backbox and unsilenced centre section on my 182 - I've had it on for years. Personally, I don't mind it one bit - but I don't know if the 182 backbox is quieter than the 172 version?

    Battlefield 4

    I only just found out today that they pulled the BF4 Commander app on tablets and mobiles, last year! A shame that - it worked really well when I tried it on the iPad - both the gameplay and platform worked together flawlessly. Seems strange why they canned it...

    Undertrays, TADTS?

    Personally - it makes my piss boil to not have an under-tray fitted to a car. They are there for a reason. I get the whole track-car cooling and passive effects on the engine bay at speed. But on a day-to-day basis - there is so much s**t that gets thrown up in there - it's good to protect it as...

    Wasteland 2

    Well, well. After delay upon delay on starting this - through other games popping up, but mainly due to the constant big updates that this game received; I caved in last weekend. Having been completely revamped on the new Unity 5 engine with the Director's Cut edition - along with the DLCs...

    The Gaming Thread (General Gaming Jibba Jabba)

    Currently going back to 2008 and playing 1942:First Strike on the PS3. Absolutely love the whole genre of sideways/vertical shooters. A good test of reactions - even at the ripe age of 41.. :wink:

    Giving it away free on Origin at the minute. Not sure if that's exclusive to the PC platform or not?

    Game you're most eagerly anticipating in 2016

    I personally thought the Mass Effect games did a good attempt at this. And although ME3 was a good way to round up the trilogy - I thought ME2 had the edge over it.

    We should setup a 98T challenge on here - all assists off - and see what we end up with!

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    The only change I'd make to that m8, would be to ditch the flexible SLi bridge and get a fixed one. I had issues with a couple of flexible bridges back in my GTX460 days. Blue-screening, sometimes saying that SLi was disabled when I'd only just put it on, etc. Switching to a rigid one fixed it...

    Love the 98T. Like I said before - if that's any resemblance to the crazy turbo-lag in reality - those drivers of it back in the day - were Gods....

    Help !Car been sat for 4 weeks now won't start

    So the engine did crank over? You mention a new battery, but even new from a shop - it could have been sat on the shelf for a good while. Mine did exactly the same and a battery swap fixed the issue. The fact that the engine cranked over proves that there's enough juice (initially at least) to...

    Battlefield 4

    That map is a great one......unless the opposing team is a bit talented with a helo. I've seen it time and time again on that map where a skilled chopper pilot simply rinses the opposition. Hovering high between the skyscrapers and beyond the vertical axis limit of most of the vehicles' guns -...

    R34 GT-R V-Spec II

    Utter b******s. I wouldn't be surprised if that actually heads back to Japan - given the potential value over there, like you mentioned.

    Your 2015 Game of the Year

    Haha! I will try it at some point! Something rated that highly simply has to be good. Two work colleagues bought it and think W3 is brilliant - one definitely says it's his game of year too. I get distracted by other stuff too much though and others I just want to get better at - like Company of...

    Your 2015 Game of the Year

    I don't know what it is with the Witcher series. I bought the Enhanced 1st Edition and put about an hour into it. Then I bought the 2nd game and literally did little else than a few arena battles. Then I bought the third game and I've literally walked across the room and admired the view from...

    182 vapour from exhaust at high revs!!

    Haha! Yep, they aren't the cheapest of cars to run, but not that crazy to be honest. Tyres and fuel were the biggest consumables - and driven sensibly, it could definitely be used as a daily. I managed to get it from Scotland down to the east side of Manchester on a full tank - and then some. Of...

    182 vapour from exhaust at high revs!!

    No worries - don't think of it as a mid-life crisis concern about the exhaust. I'm 41 and sold my Evo VI at 39. Now that was loud..... ;)

    182 vapour from exhaust at high revs!!

    Mine is a KTR/Janspeed cat-back system with unsilenced centre section. Pretty much perfect for me - not too boomy, but a million miles from the muted peashooters that come as standard. It's been on for another 80k as well without issue, so it's definitely a better item than OEM too. My fiancee...

    182 vapour from exhaust at high revs!!

    Has your 182 got the standard exhaust? As Dave said, they retain water if not hot and tend to rust quite badly. Somehow, some way, I managed to get to 60k mileage on mine before it finally needed replacing. They are expensive (for what they are), heavy, too quiet and not well built. An...

    Driveshafts

    Don't forget with the official Renault ones, you get credit back for returning your old driveshafts back to them. They are still expensive items in their own right - but speaking to the parts desk at the dealership near here, you have 7 working days to return the old items and get a partial...

    Game you're most eagerly anticipating in 2016

    The main reason why I took a punt on the Total War game. It appears that the Vampire Counts are a faction to play in it. If the engine is sound in design and stability - there's no reason at all why it can't be transferred to the WH40K setting.

    Hankook v12 Evo 2

    It's all lies - they don't exist. The closest I ever got to any decent Hankook tyre was a single unit at Demon Tweeks. Every time I've come to replace the rubber on the Clio, the world has appeared to buy all the supply the week before. Currently on Eagle F1's on the front at the minute. Got to...

    Game you're most eagerly anticipating in 2016

    Pre-ordered Total War : Warhammer last night. Due at the end of April. I hope the Creative Assembly do the licence justice? It could be the starting point of a limitless genre for them - especially if they have got the official Games Workshop approval.

    2016 Audi RS3

    The looking daft part in the company car park wouldn't bother me one bit - especially if it was focused to do a specific job. I'd be the type of person who would drive a Caterham R500 to work and park it up. If it rained - meh. It will be dry tomorrow..... ;) Yeah - I noticed some of those...

    2016 Audi RS3

    Well well. My default anti-Audi troll/dislike stance has actually been put on hold. From the pictures you've posted, I do actually like that. Is there the slightest hint that they are looking more lairy too? If so, that's a good thing! Even more - you've recognised it for what it is - a very...
