    Oreca Steering wheels

    I had one in my 182, felt good quality, was very happy with it.

    PCD 4 X 100, Cbore OK, ET OK, why dont they fit?

    If you really like them you can get PCD and hub bore adaptors, H&R do them if you don't fancy a no-name one. Not the cheapest fix, but maybe you could get the seller to pay half or something rather than going for a refund.

    New New MacBook Pro

    Bit off-topic I know, but new work laptop has arrived and I'm really pleased with it. Unless OSX is a big driver for you definitely check out the Dell XPS 15, it's not quite as nice as the MBP in terms of that "quality feel" but it's very, very close and the screen is incredible - 4k touchscreen...

    2013 Fiesta ST vs Clio 200 Cup comparison

    They are so (relatively) cheap to get silly power out of. Other thing is they're pretty light which obviously helps the PWR along nicely. I'd have one. In fact, I may have one :D

    Watch Dogs 2 vs Dishonoured 2

    I'm playing D2 at the moment and loving it, was a big fan of the first one. What does bug me about both games (although I know it's part of their brilliance) is after a hard day at work I like to play them as a complete badass and just kill everything and anything that gets in my way. I know...

    How we used to buy games in the 90's...

    Silica.... Jesus I remember them! I was never very patient so I remember one day in my late teens a new Amiga pack had just launched, I think it was the A500+ with some games, and I actually got on a coach from Liverpool to Leeds to go and buy one because they had stock and back then shipping...

    WIFI Boosters?

    Again, depends on your circumstances. AC is overkill for a lot of people as their broadband connection won't even come close to saturating an N connection. Sure, if you're doing a lot of big file transfers etc the extra speed can be welcome and the extra range can be too. Horses for courses...

    WIFI Boosters?

    Powerline stuff is great if your home wiring is suitable, I used to swear by them but they're a bit slow in the current place because the wiring runs are much longer than in previous houses I've been in. They still work fine, there's just a significant performance drop off. I use a £15 Netgear...

    iPhone 5S just died.....

    £79 for a battery replacement at Apple https://support.apple.com/en-gb/iphone/repair/service/pricing CEX just sell used stuff like anywhere else, they do some basic checks so safer than eBay etc but still it's pot luck if you get a well looked after phone or something that's been trashed. If...

    AR1 Prices

    Not sure if this is the reason in the Clio sizes too but there were a lot of cheap ones around until recently, they changed the compound for 2017 and a lot of places were selling the 2016 compound off cheap - I got a set for the M3 for under £600 which was a blinding deal for those sizes.

    E91 Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo - A slight downgrade

    Centre cap rattles are a common issue on those, it's been a while but if I remember right they're supposed to have little pads on them to stop 'em rattling but they often get taken off when refurbed or just through wear and tear. There'll be a fix over on the Alpina Register forums I'm sure...

    Clio turbo

    Gotta admit, I did the detective work because I thought "Bugger me, that might be a bargain, could be worth snapping up" ;)

    Clio turbo

    I dunno, where it's been photographed suggests to me that the seller is in the trade or has connections to the trade, yet can't get the clutch changed? Even if not, how hard/time consuming is it to just dump it at a garage and say "change the clutch" if you're short of time? I get that if you're...

    New project. Megane engined RS200 road car.

    Nice job :) Ref the weight, my megg'd 200 was near as damn it 1300kg, but that had a full safety devices cage and some extra bracing bolted in. On the flip side it had ultralaggera wheels which are a fair chunk lighter than standard but overall I'd guess yours should be a bit lighter than that.

    Clio Billabong Problems .....

    If one injector is on the way out the others probably aren't that far behind, but it could just as easily be the coil or plugs

    Heater Matrix - Nissens OE replacement

    Not to a Clio but have used them in the past on other cars with no issues, well respected name. Just like anything else that's a decent brand make sure you're getting it from a reputable source, fakes are rife.

    New New MacBook Pro

    Yeah it would have been purely through the company, but the configs still max out at 16Gb anyway, so it's all moot. Ho hum. Tempted by the 10.5" iPad Pro as an upgrade to my three year old Air 2 mind you.

    hard drive data recovery experts!

    Depends, like Darren S said would really need to know the make and model to give accurate advice.

    New New MacBook Pro

    My work laptop is nearly coming up for replacement, currently my choice is going to be a nicely specced Dell XPS 15 or a MBP. I pretty much have to go for the Dell, because the Mac doesn't come with more than 16Gb of RAM and I need a loooot of RAM for some of the work I do. I am hoping and...

    British GT Sunday Service 11/06 @Silverstone with PistonHeads

    Got my name down, not sure if I can make it yet but the reserve list is always huge for the SSs so I'll cancel in good time if I can't make it.
