Flaws often translate to quirks that themselves transform into admiration and genuine appreciation. Humans are strange like that - they want to exploit the trickiness - they like the challenge and more so when they get it right. I'd much rather tackle a decent A-road in a rev-happy Duratec'd...

I just f**king hate EVs. Simple as that. I hate what they represent and what ultimately they will take away from me. The requirement for the number of petrol stations will drop, favouring the b*****d charging points - so then you're travelling further to get to a place to fill up. As the...

Welcome aboard! I can't answer your questions specifically as I've only ever owned a 182 - but I'm sure you'll get plenty of feedback on here about them. The one thing I will say is that any 197 or 200 requires a boot spoiler. They look crap without them! :P

Depends really. I've got a 27" ROG for the majority of gaming - but for the racing setup, being sat a few feet from an 50" plasma is much more impressive. Would love to update it with a much newer 50" (or bigger) TV though!

Main reason why I'll never learn to ride bikes - I genuinely don't think I could trust myself. Did some absolutely stupid things on my BMX as a kid - god knows what I'd potentially be like if I managed to acquire a circa 180mph bike.

I think you have to be for the sake of their own development - and not wrap them up in cotton-wool away from the world and it's 'bad parts'. I've no kids myself, but their uptake and adaptability on new experiences is pretty amazing. I would have thought both listening to kids and being...

Bad s**t - though glad to hear that all will 'hopefully' be fine. Indirectly, you've probably made the biker a much safer rider the next time he gets on a bike. Count it as your good deed for the day! :P

Have you got an audio clip of just how bad, 'bad' is?

A friend of mine picked up his resprayed Porsche 911 alloys and brake the calipers to go with that for a similar price. That was just this weekend too. What you've been quoted does seem quite pricey, indeed.

Bad luck - is the offending culprit repairable? Or is a new tyre job? Would be interested to know the cost of these tyres compared to more mainstream sizes?

Poor 'ol Fisher-Price Missile :(

Thanks mate - that does look like the one. (y)

Hi all, Could anyone confirm what the OEM knock sensor replacement is please? I got a cheap one from eBay and I still have the occasional pinking when picking up drive - especially on the initial uptake. Cheers, D.

Nice - are you there with work, or holidays?

Managed to Perfect it last night on Steam. :)

Hideous, hideous things! They just remind me of kids push-along car prams, but made for adults - literally no angle on them is appealing. Also, I still have that grizzled old view that any EV is the spawn of Satan, so it doesn't even redeem itself there either. BUT...... your review was great...

To be fair - the OEM one in my mind had the aggressive engine note of a Nissan LEAF doing a drive-by. If you can cope with the pea-shooter tailpipes, accept the crazy weight of the damn thing, know that it will rust and hold water in time at all - maybe this is the backbox for you. Oh, and...

The Tesla might still win, tbf - assuming he could see through the smokescreen. :P

Genuinely epic. I'd be soot-blasting EVs in the next lane to me with that thing.

In all fairness, those figures look a tad high especially the torque, given that I had the following work done on mine:- Complete strip down of the engine 197 pistons Catcam 438s cams Supertech valves Remap at Engine Dynamics - including a specific 98RON map From that, I was a midge's dick...

I'd say that it's unlikely you've done any damage there. The thermal shutdown process sounded like it was doing its job.

Yeah - likewise on CE...

Make sure you press the Tab key as it switches the graphics between ‘original’ and enhanced. Strangely however, when you look to the sky in CE are see the internal arc of Halo itself, it’s very bland on the enhanced version.

What's with the side vents though? Not like its going to use them to cool a proper engine?

Probably will get to Halo Infinite at some point, having recently started my way through the Master Chief Collection on the PC. Finished Reach and now onto CE, which (unless I'm being a moron) has no option for sprinting. In an FPS. Erm, wut? So some of these big-ass areas where you see a...

Got to admit - I'm really enjoying the multiplayer aspect to this. I'm going on daily just to have a round or two - but it works so well because you're supposed to crash. I doubt I could cope with the toxic responses of overcooking a corner too much and taking out another player in a standard...

It's pretty much lived off a diet of the good stuff - but more so now as a necessity with it mapped to run on super unleaded. Giving it 95 now would appear like an act of vehicular cruelty. Like promising Fat Dave in the office something good when you've nipped out on dinner and bring him back...

Pretty cheap on the PC platform now too, through cdkeys...

Reached a bit of a Steam achievement benchmark this week.... ;)

I bet that was strangely satisfying to do!
