The Bentley I found to be really controllable in ACC - sounds pretty good too. Iirc - some of my personal best times in game are still recorded against the Big B.

Potentially the hardware-killer crown has been transplanted to this. On Steam, they offer a free benchmarking tool and it seems pretty demanding - especially on the water sections. Here's my default benchmark running on a 3090. Apparently 4090's are heading towards 100fps - which would be...

Probably best ignoring launching the core AC game from Steam and downloading Content Manager instead. https://acstuff.ru/app/ There are two versions. A free version, but still with a lot more mods than comes with the standard AC. Or the subscribed version - for which I currently pay 1 Euro per...

Tyre shine across all the tread. Nice.

Put them in today. Interestingly, they were 7's that came out and have obviously had new 6's going in. Had a bit of spirited drive over here for about half-an-hour afterwards and it 'felt' smoother. Most likely a complete placebo effect or simply new plugs vs. four-year-old ones. But I'll see...

Standard 6's ordered - hopefully will be here to fit at the weekend, assuming the weather behaves!

@Lo7us111 - without wanting to blow further smoke up Northloopcup's arse, he is indeed the man to go to with these gearboxes. ;) Fully dismantled and refurbed mine after it suffered damage once a driveshaft went. Four years on, its still sweet as a nut. Got mine in for a service in two weeks...

So, it's my understanding that the spark plugs at heat range 6 are fine for a standard 182, range 7 for a modded/turbo or supercharged option and range 8 for a pure track car. As they all appear to be the same price anyway, are there any gains in terms of smoother idle, smoother response by...

Struggled to get drawn in by any of the AC series really. I still keep going back to Origins every now and then - just due to my interest in Ancient Egypt. But I'm still waiting for that 'pull'.

Having driven thousands of miles in Canada over the years in pretty mundane rental cars - having the keys pretty much to any car in this thread must be epic. Fair play to you @E11OOT - living the dream right there!

Does it have to be a laptop? There's a big compromise on options and capability of a laptop over a similar desktop. Most people think they need a laptop - and then proceed to never move it from their desk or table. In which case a desktop would have been far better. I have a laptop for work -...

What's the spec of the current laptop doing the editing?

Just for reference if anyone is interested, I received a price back from Renault in France this morning that the nearside rear panel costs £583.89+VAT with 7-10 working days for delivery. No word on their rarity or potential EOL status yet, but I might order one - just in case and find...

Welcome along. One of two things will happen. You will either... A) - sell your Clio this year and in 2038, be complaining that you should have never sold it. Or... B) - the year is 2038 and you still own the same Clio. ;)

The main reason I've always had my rad top-mounted. Would it fit in there with the rad and two fans attached to it, up top?

It's definitely one of those games that has a unique attraction to it. I bought the Sub-Zero follow-on game in one of the sales recently too, but still need to finish the initial game first. Not sure if it has much in the way of replay value - but in terms of a new experience like yourself...

£12,200 in 2004. :)

Not yet. Probably not this year now, but I will be at some point. If I had somewhere to store the nearside panel, I'd probably order it now as supplies won't be limitless.

True - they still look good now. Plus, I can't even recall in the last month or so of seeing a 1*2 on the road - so they are more rare too.

We use a fair few of the little Intel NUC boxes as mini DB servers at some depots. Work really well. Small, yet surprisingly powerful for their size, https://www.amazon.co.uk/intel-nuc/s?k=intel+nuc

Hi Gav, The bodyshop sourced it directly from Renault in France and had it shipped over.

Made the jump onto the Forza bandwagon last night with Horizon 4 in the current Steam Summer Sale. I like how I can detach my brain and literally just race about with different cars, without any of the seriousness and concentration required of the likes of ACC. Apparently it's being...

Lol - how come that got banned?

Ah, no worries - makes sense!

Would you get fairly high insurance hikes as well - 'modding' a dCi 65 to a 100 spec? Wouldn't it work out cheaper selling the 65 and be on the hunt for a replacement 100 outright?

Finally..... :) MR30 and the final achievement done.

Tried the aircon - fan immediately kicked in - and back off again once switched off. So that's clearly working. I believe there are two modes for the fan, is that true? Low and high speed? I've got some recent OBD logs - so I'll check out the temp on those as per @Brigsy 's suggestion too...

Thanks all - I'll have a further look into it. I suppose the easiest check is from @JamesBryan 's comment about coming on with the AC?

Bit of a random post, but in all the years of ownership, I don't think I've ever heard the radiator fan kick in? Even when I was sat in queuing traffic on the motorway years ago and it was low 30C weather outside. It did cross my mind that the fan could be broken perhaps? It does spin fine if I...

I feel like I've just been schooled.... 😁 Good post mate! I even followed the vast majority of it.
