    Call of Duty - Black Ops 2?

    From the zombies menu select public match/whatever, then, it'll give you a second option to select the 'world' before you then get to select the map itself. Nuketown's in the new world option.

    Clio 4RS guesstimate prices (almost) released...

    It won't. The weight savings are comparable if you look at a 5-door mk3 versus the 5-door mk4. The 200 is changing from a 3-door to 5-door though, so weight wise will be lighter from the technology, but heavier from the extra doors...so pretty much the same.

    I think the days of 'bespoke' for what is meant/needs to be a mainstream car have long gone Chris. As for the 'box...Renaultsport missed the boat with the current gen...a wheezy 2.0 NA when almost all others in its class are running forced induction. I think they're simply trying to predict...

    French Car Show 2013

    I want to plan my year. If I'm coming to this, I need to block those dates out. Where the venue is is key in my decision to go or not...as Chip says, it's a pain in the arse!!!!!!!!!!!! Where is it Mark?????

    Trackday Insurance

    Then that is the responsibility of the other vehicle owner to sort out. On track, you have no liability for damage to other people's cars, regardless of how it's caused. It's up to the individual to insure their own vehicle against unforeseen damage. The OP's excess will likely be more than his...

    Clio 4RS guesstimate prices (almost) released...

    Anyone have any idea of what the CO2 rating is for the RS? Would be interesting to see how it stacks up against the competition that run manual 'boxes to see if there's any benefit there.

    Passed My Test!

    ^^^ always be in the right gear at the right time. Also allows you to moderate your speed better using just the throttle as engine braking is more pronounced. Before I did the IAM I always used to go for the highest gear possible thinking it was the most economical...I was so far off the mark...

    Clio 4RS guesstimate prices (almost) released...

    Surely some of the reasoning behind it is to do with efficiency? Can't modern DSG 'boxes accelerate quicker than the equivalent manual and also return better MPG? If so, eventually ALL cars are likely to come with them, just the same as how turbo engines are now replacing NA.

    Passed My Test!

    A bullet leaving the barrel of a S&W M29 .44 magnum has 1,267 ft lbs of energy to do damage with. A 1,000 kg car traveling at 65 mph has 283,000 ft lbs of energy. Go careful.

    182 clio high revving, wont go past 40mph

    Could be the throttle body (or throttle pedal itself)...that's what my 172 Cup suffered from when it dropped into limp mode.

    Clio 4RS guesstimate prices (almost) released...

    Re: Clio 4RS prices released... Answered this myself - circa £1,500 including VAT. So take that away from £21k for a more comparable price to the outgoing model and/or its rivals.

    Re: Clio 4RS prices released... My thoughts exactly. As a comparison how much do VW charge for adding a DSG 'box to one of their cars over the manual version?

    My day with Clio 4

    No need though. They're functional and work well enough. If they had changed all those little items like everyone wants them to have done, it would probably add another £1k to the list price. Considering how irrelevant a door mirror switch is to the whole ownership and driving experience I'm...

    Never used that Euge one so can't comment but QuickBooks is worth a look.

    Bargain Lambo

    I think that's a pretty good attempt. I reckon 95% of people that drove past would think it's genuine...at least until it accelerated than the noise would give it away.

    CLIO IV RS - Trophy from page 111

    Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news I feel exactly the same. Sadly though, the manual gearbox just like the high-revving NA motor we all love, is destined to become obsolete. Isn't it?

    Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news Where's the Va Va Voom? No one knows until someone has driven it. Until then, how can you say it doesn't have any? How can you say it's safe and boring? It could be the edgiest FWD hatch out there regardless of the big headlights and 5 doors. If you don't...

    DS2500 & Brembo HC discs - Lack of bite ?

    I found when running these that they did lack as sharp an initial bite as standard pads would give you. Have you run the, through any heat cycles? Got any pad material on the disc surface?

    Yokohama AD08 vs Federal 595RS-R

    They're more road tyre than the likes of Toyo R888 or Yoko A048...have much more 'tread' for water dispersal, but are still a track tyre type of compound. best way to explain it is to say go and google image them, you'll see what I mean about the tread. can they be used on the road? I'm...

    Yokohama AD08 vs Federal 595RS-R

    I never had a problem either on my 172 Cup, would/could happily run all day long on a variety of road rubber. In the 200 though, the extra 300kgs seem to ask a bit too much of the rubber.

    Yokohama AD08 vs Federal 595RS-R

    No other reason than this. I do trackdays for fun, lap times are pointless, the less grip the better for learning the car. AD08s with their higher grip seem at odds with this, but both Continental Sportcontacts and Michelin PE2s pretty much evaporated/shed tread blocks when I ran them on track...

    Yokohama AD08 vs Federal 595RS-R

    Standard size, 215. 225 would give too much grip for me, 215 is just right.

    Yokohama AD08 vs Federal 595RS-R

    My AD08s only had 7.5mm tread when new. I've done a very hot day at Bedford GT followed by a monsoon day at Llandow on them. At Bedford they survived the temperatures without issue and are nice and progressive once they start moving. In the wet at Llandow I was very apprehensive as there's...
