    Petrol blue for sale on Facebook (if anyone is looking for one) NOT Mine

    Should be clanging away like Big Ben as a warning sign to any potential buyer.... So you want the buyer to pay top dollar for the car that you are selling. Yet conversely, you're happy to admit that you cut corners at every stage possible? Either sell it for the mediocre value that it's...

    Shoudnt the 172 feel quicker than this?

    I had a large amount of work done to mine recently and across the board, I can feel a change in the available torque. Not a neck-snapping change, but one where simply pulling out of junction and mildly accelerating when you pickup 2nd and then 3rd gear - it's certainly there. However, as...

    My New Forester Sti

    Not really relevant to the car. A bit like being judgmental to a p**n star because she doesn't have a Ph.D in applied mechanics.

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Still appreciate the consistency of our 150MBPS Hyperoptic package. Not ground-breaking by any stretch but works well for online gaming and downloads in general.

    Clio 182 Suggestions?

    Any evidence of the gearbox oil being dropped and changed in its history?

    Assetto Corsa modding (PC)

    That roundabout and road section is exactly the kind of terrain that we need to see more of in racing games!

    Are expensive waxes a waste of money?

    Have to say to the OP that that’s a nice looking Punto. Not a common sight on the roads at all and clearly looking tidy! (y)

    Vodafone Gigafast fibre

    I wonder how many people get 900MBPS broadband and still continue to use 150-200MBPS powerline adapters inside the house? ;)

    Clio Turbos (the 172/182 kind)

    I can imagine that it's shocked a fair few other cars on the road in its time!

    Clio 182 xenon lights

    Sorry both - I'll get some pictures up later today. Just haven't had the chance this week. Going to number each on the rear to make it easier to ask questions about specific units.

    Clio 182 xenon lights

    I should be over the next few days. Going to get some pictures taken and an assessment of the condition of each headlamp unit. I’ve got the pair of grey ones off mine and a spare driver’s side ‘black’ one.

    My BG182 Clio Revamp

    Absolutely great - I'm even getting used to the lumpy idle when cold! I park it in the underground, backed up to the wall usually and it's pretty loud, but in a good way. It's going for it's first oil and filter change on Saturday since the rebuild. Treating it to a replacement of Millers...

    GPU upgrade - 2060 super vs 2070??

    Might not be 'that' obvious in the difference if you're running at 1080 resolution. What should be noticeable as a big improvement will be things like draw distance, extra particle effects, lighting and definitely shadows. @SharkyUK might have some suggestions of certain game options that will...

    Misfiring 182

    Same that happened to me. I bought a new injector just to get the car up and running and when that proved to fix the issue, I bought another three and got the remaining ones swapped out.

    GPU upgrade - 2060 super vs 2070??

    Bought the full version in the Ubisoft sale last week, which should have been £17 and then chucked some of those Ubi Points that I never use towards it. Cost me about £12 in the end - though I've not yet tried it! ☺

    GPU upgrade - 2060 super vs 2070??

    Probably the 4GB memory (or actually 3GB real-world memory) capacity that that card has was the issue. At 1080, it's got the hardware to piss it - but with the likes of ACC using nearly 6GB alone at 1440, the actual physical memory is the limiting factor. Most modern games exceed 3GB VRAM...

    Clio 182 xenon lights

    They can be tricky to see the difference in some forms of light. Only in bright light are the differences clearly obvious. When I was trying to find a set for mine, even the sellers sometimes were unsure as to which ones they had. It’s a subtle difference, but a big improvement for me. I...

    Assetto Corsa Competizione

    Stumbled across this Google docs link for ACC. Some useful features in it - I didn’t know about the extended input option on the controls so that you can assign two controls to one input. One action for click, another for holding it down...

    My BG182 Clio Revamp

    My wife kindly added a finishing touch to my comment about the inlet. I think it breaks up the silver a bit.... :)

    Painting 182 interior door handles?

    I used the following three products. Got the primer and paint from Amazon and the acrylic from The Range as an afterthought. Plasti-kote 25001 400ml Primer - Black Plasti-kote 23101 400ml Premium Spray Paint - Matt Black Plasti-kote 24002 400ml Premium Spray Paint - Matt Clear Acrylic In...

    Painting 182 interior door handles?

    Fitted them in earlier. A big improvement, but not flawless by my (lack of) spraying skills! They started to get some dust on them within seconds it seemed, but at least they can be wiped with a cloth easily now. And yep - I'll activate the passenger air-bag again when I next get back in it. :)

    The £295k Impreza....

    It's a very weird predicament to be in with that. Even with money to burn - £300k for a car that although extremely nice, was simply a special model Scooby is a bit insane. And if you had £300k to blow on a car - would you really be looking at a rally-inspired 4-door saloon car? Surely for...

    172 / 182 oil pump mod worthwhileness & bleeding

    Have you had the sump off at all? My oil pickup was clogged with silicone when it had the engine rebuild recently. How/why/when that happened is anyone's guess - but in the past it looks like an oil seep has been plugged using silicone and that over time has been ingested by the pickup. How...

    Assetto Corsa Competizione

    I'll say again with ACC - the game itself is very impressive, but the audio I just don't know how they have got it so good. Watched a bit of the replay of that Alpine earlier and the tonal changes in the engine and small backfires and the over-run - just so realistic and not out of place. I...

    Petrol blue for sale on Facebook (if anyone is looking for one) NOT Mine

    Nearly ordered Petrol Blue on mine. But at a £1,200 option when the car itself only cost £12,200 - I stuck with the common Black Gold! :LOL:

    Assetto Corsa Competizione

    Bought the GT4 DLC last night but have only managed to have a quick practice this morning so far. Being the GT4 class, the whole sense of speed and acceleration has shifted down slightly and is far less frantic. Picked the Alpine of course and headed of around the full Brands Circuit. Looking...
