    The New Phone Thread

    Totally get that mate - I've no idea how people use them 'as is', straight out of the box. I've gone three layers of additional protection - a glass film for the front, a clear case for the surround and a clip-on protector for the lenses on the rear. The camera section alone really does...

    The New Phone Thread

    The 15 Pro arrived earlier. Just need to get that eSIM stuff sorted out with the provider in the morning. Apple being Apple, the setup of my account, transfer of data and setup of the phone was stupidly easy. I even received the freepost trade-in box a little later too, to send my standard 11...

    The New Phone Thread

    Have to agree really - I never had an issue using Lightning at all. That said, I can understand USB-C more now, given that it's own interface is finally universal - and not a one sided slot of previous USB standards.

    What to check first on a non-working cruise control (182)?

    Not got around to this yet - but its still on my list. Will try looking at the clutch switch first - arguably the easiest thing to check?

    AUX to Bluetooth transmitter

    I bought a recommended Pioneer head unit and adapter box a few years back for not a lot of money at all. Streams from my phone seamlessly. DAB radio, decent enough settings (for me anyway) and works completely with the integrated stalk controls. I'd personally go down that route - more so as a...

    Inferno track car - on a trailer A51

    Sure it wasn't heading towards you for a new gearbox? ;)

    Roof rail strips - how to remove?

    Thanks both - weather permitting at the weekend, I'll give that a go. (y)

    Roof rail strips - how to remove?

    Just want to clear out any crap from behind them on the roof of mine. Before I attempt it - what wise words of removal have people got? Is there a specific technique used in taking them off? I have got a set of trim removal tools if those help? Cheers, D.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Yellowstone as in the TV series? I was actually impressed by that - I didn't think it would have been as good as it was.

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    That sounds like they have tried to do way too much all at once? New ERP system. New website. New suppliers - to name but a few of things he mentioned? That's an insane amount of change to implement in a small timeframe.

    Such a shame that your delivery has gone to s**t. :(

    v6 bodykit

    I do wonder with highly specialised parts like these - as to what the non-OEM market could be like? Granted, the quantity of units sold would be extremely low. But as the front bumper is not structural, would it be little more than an injection moulding replica to be made, that could be sold...

    v6 bodykit

    Given that finding a set of headlights for a 1*2 is proving tricky - I think a weekend of utter debauchery with Salma Hayek, Liz Hurley and a dessert of a bit of Kate Beckinsale is more likely than locating a V6 front bumper. I take it that you've tried looking on v6clio.net?

    Forza Motorsport 8

    It does seem really weird how hardware that is way above spec is performing so badly. Surely there's a baseline to performance that with shear grunt of hardware alone, should allow it to run well enough? It seems a common vibe on the PC version - the scale of issues I've read about should be the...

    Forza Motorsport 8

    That's the thing though. You go back to the late 90s, early 2000s and the scale and scope of options was bewildering. I recall having no fewer than six different graphics options on start-up for some games back in the day. 3DFx, PowerVR, ViRGE, Matrox, D3D, OpenGL - probably a few more too! The...

    Forza Motorsport 8

    Going off some of the recent Steam reviews, it's mixed results at best. Poor optimisation appears to be the biggest culprit. I've never understood where the XBox console is really just a custom, focused PC with games written for it on the PC. Only for so many PC ports of these said games to end...

    Bumblebee 2 featuring LY R26

    A great thread this - just read it through from the start. Have to complement your attention to detail and commitment to it. When is it going to be up for sale? ;)

    New member looking considering a 1*2 as a daily

    First thing I bought for the Evo. Looked 1,000% with them on....... (I don't think it did anything to stop the car eating itself from the rear mind!)

    New member looking considering a 1*2 as a daily

    @Mr Underhill - it annoys the crap out out of me as to why Renault didn't offer an OEM fit mudflap for the 1*2. Wouldn't have taken much effort at all.

    New member looking considering a 1*2 as a daily

    I can only reiterate what other have said on here. Mine is my daily. Had it since new with circa 174k on it now (difficult to remember exactly as I had the instrument binnacle replaced by Renault with two days left on the warranty and it zeroized the odometer!) - but it's still a great car to...

    Toss new Clio ad

    "Yeah but jealous coz it wud beat yr car in a race"....... or some other form of utter drivel. We're in strange times - a state of flux so to speak between not fully moving on from the previous generations (thank you Hyundai and Mini as per @massiveCoRbyn ) - and being surrounded by utter tat...

    The New Phone Thread

    It's the best and the worst thing about Apple devices. Literally zero discount on anything. At least you can just focus on stock availability then, I guess? The 15 Pros aren't available anywhere at the minute - at least not within a reasonable distance to me.

    The New Phone Thread

    I have the same feeling but with Android. Hate it - almost like a college student has been asked to write a phone OS and that Android was their first attempt. Despise using my work's phone because of it - but I don't know if having two iPhones would make me look like a baller, or a complete and...

    Battlefield 2042

    If EA just did a BF2142 redux, I'd be more than happy! :) I think the most time spent for me on a BF title is a close run thing between BF2142 and BF:BC2. Though tbh, I bet the time I spent in the original BF1942 is pretty hefty too. I remember when the demo was released for that on the El...

    Battlefield 2042

    I've never rage quitted from a BF title before. Sure, I've sworn at the screen before now like a little kid and had a tantrum - but never actually shutdown the game in a fit of rage like with BF1. The atmosphere and feel within BF1 was epic on the campaign mode. Online - holy s**t, what an...

    Battlefield 2042

    In all fairness, I've not gone online with it yet. I've just been up against the bots so far, learning some of the maps and getting a feel for some of the mechanics of the game. It definitely has a proper BF vibe to it - way more than BF1 or BFV ever did. Somehow it also looks considerably more...

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    Will be selling a Logitech G920 setup soon, if anyone is interested? The wheel itself, pedals and shifter. Compatible with both PC and Xbox. Would rather sell it on here than get dicked on eBay.
