Fancy bumping a thread by 3 years and not including an ebay link. For shame.

Those are Evo numbers!

I was brought up on these things, Mum had two (I think) MK2 GTEs, Dad had a few MK1 GTEs, then a GSI3000 Carlton all before I'd turned 5. One of the MK2's was a very very late 16V, but I can't find any details on it. It had a slightly updated interior, and a softer looking front end. Going...

I've got a lot of love and time for a red top. Thought it's worthy of a thread, for anything red-top, be it Vauxhall, Kit Car, shoved in a Lotus, whatever....

Barely anything in it then. Would definitely rather have a charged K20 than a turbo F4R.

What does an F4R+box weigh compared to a K20+box?

Have you only ever been running it with something plugged into the OBD port? I tried an OBD dash display once, and it killed the rev counter whenever it was plugged in.

Renault Clio 172 Cup by Adam Lister, on Flickr (y)

I had B14 on my Cup, it was excellent on the road. Much more comfortable and planted than standard.

You could probably make an alright one out of both. But not worth it at 3k for the pair!

I tried installing the other day, and the installer simply spat at my 1080ti. Haven't looked up any work arounds as yet.

Which bit of the south east? I've had a set of Turinis and TE37's done by these guys: http://www.wheelrefurbishing.co.uk/?doing_wp_cron=1587038438.5320930480957031250000 Decent, not too expensive.

Had a lovely job removing the rear window tints on Sunday, then rolled it around the cul-de-sac.

On that, I've got a 970 EVO 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD that's an open box, unused, that I can do for £100.

In a 172 Cup? Ban. :ROFLMAO:

The one thing I'm struggling to click with, is the lack of sensation when the grip is almost lost. Opposite lock / maintaining a slide is something I'm very good at IRL. Jealous of those shift lights!

I sold my old Evo weekend before last, and that's the last human interaction I've had that hasn't been my wife/kids. Did it with gloves on, no hand shakes, etc etc. Looking back, it probably wasn't worth the risk. But, on the other hand I'm grateful to have the cash.

Nope, all good.

My first track-day was in 1999 aged 14, with the old man at an LTR/MLR day at Cadwell and I had many a Spa trip with them in the mid 2000's. Great times. But, times change.

Your point being?

It began with Darin, who founded the Lancer Turbo Register, which catered for the Lancer 2000 Turbo long before the Evo's were on the scene. He ran it for years and years through its boom and bust, then eventually sold it a couple of years back to VS as @R3k1355 said. I’ve known Darin since...

2003 here, when the old man had his ones. It was insanely busy back then.

Had a bit of play with XBOX/PC2 last night, did the first couple of career races in the Ginetta G40, what a fun distraction this is going to be! The wet is a real struggle because you use the seat, G, and your bum to sense grip, and that's completely missing. It's very different to any driving...

How does a car end up missing its seat runners?!

You've got a lot less 'toddler crap' in your office though, fancy chair or not. :) Looks great though, I've never really been a fan of F1 games. Prefer road-car types, but then I've only ever been using a game pad until (later) today. First thing I'm going to do is take an Evo 6 round...

Does work! Looking forward to a proper go tonight.

Getting there, just waiting for the wheel to show up tomorrow! Glad I took the seat out the car, the bloody thing is cracked so it’s written off and confined to being a play seat forever more now.

Don't make me quote myself, massivewonger. :D
