    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Read some article last night about some 'spy shots' of a 3080. Not sure how real/likely those are though.

    That does look cool - never heard of that before?

    Project Cars 3

    You're right. As much as I really like Assetto Corsa Competizione - it's a niche game. And niche games don't rake in the same amount of money. I've been trying to get a couple of races setup as a regular Thursday evening thing. I've no problems at all drumming up interest for PC2, but hardly...

    Wifi over the plug sockets?

    All about the ping life... :LOL:

    Wifi over the plug sockets?

    As with all powerline adapters - make sure you don't have them plugged into trailing sockets as many have surge filters that can affect the transfer of data. If you can - I'm a massive advocate of running cables. It can be a pain - but sometimes it can be very straight-forward. I'd certainly...

    .....I'd be telling that "Perfect Corners" message to f**k right off as well.

    Project Cars 3

    WTF is with all the Mario Kart pickups on the circuit? Very early days - but I highly doubt I'd be keen for PC3 based on the above. I think I'll stick with ACC.

    Greetings from Switzerland!

    Those running costs are similar to here, depending upon the insurance part. New drivers or those with convictions will likely to pay a lot more. Mine for argument's sake (and the fact that I'm 45 - lol) is almost a 50/50 split. The road duty (tax) for a 172 or 182 is currently £305 - around CHF...

    Greetings from Switzerland!

    I agree. Drove back from Venice a few years back and went through Switzerland. Some of my best memories were seeing the location of various houses way up on hillsides - thinking 'how the hell have they built that up there?'. And of course, being overtaken in the several tunnels we drove through...

    Seen it advertised, but not tried it. Is it purely PvP and not PvE?

    Catalytic converter prices

    Same view as me to be honest - it really would have to get silly expensive before I'd give it up. The most likely issue we'll face with the internal combustion engine - is the reduction with the petrol station network. The large corporations that deliver and provide these fuels, usually within...

    Subnautica

    This popped up on the Steam Spring Cleaning list for me. Yep - guess what doesn't use Steam Cloud for saves.... or at least it didn't back then. That said, I am tempted to go back into it. Such a great experience and I think I'll appreciate it more this time around, rather than the fumbling...

    Catalytic converter prices

    It wouldn't shock me if the Govt. effectively bumped up the road duty to cover this as yet another measure of reducing ICE cars on the road. Drive an ICE car? See your road duty bumped up by a further £100 (minimum) as we have to pay for the install of a CCTV network across the MOT...

    Vapour blasting

    I guess there isn't really. Would have been nice if they could have somehow had a few more bolt fixing areas to keep them straighter. I can imagine the left side would be tricky though.

    Vapour blasting

    The painting is great - but it bugs me how these covers 'banana' in the middle. Mine is exactly the same as yours - lifting up at each edge, but nice and inline mid-way.

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Should be entirely fixable that. I got ham-fisted on a motherboard swap that I did a while back - bent about four pins and thought I'd knackered it. Bent them back to where I thought they should be and re-sat the CPU. It still didn't progress past the BIOS POST. Took it out again and checked...

    Any idea what this noise could be?

    Does it do that noise at random times? As in you can be accelerating or coasting along and even when braking? Sounds driveshaft related to me - though I'm sure more knowledgeable people will respond soon.

    I think they look really smart with them on..... should have been a standard fitment!

    Recovering lost data

    That's worth noting. If 'officially' there's no need for it to think that any data left over is useful - it could be getting overwritten literally sat quiet on the desktop. Files and folders are stored randomly across the drive (assuming its a mechanical one?) - meaning there's no control over...

    Recovering lost data

    Not sure if this is of any use? How do I unlock my encrypted Mac hard drive without password? See this post for details. Boot your Mac and hold down ⌘-R (Command –R) to boot from the Mac's Recovery HD partition. ... Open Disk Utility. Select your locked hard drive. Under the File menu, select...

    Sits well - though I really dislike the profile and rear views of the 197s without a spoiler. They somehow look incomplete?

    Jenvey Throttle bodies expected BHP?

    I've still got my print-out from the day - but I think it's in a folder at work and I'm working from home currently. If I remember when I finally get back in - I'll scan it and send it to you for comparison!

    Jenvey Throttle bodies expected BHP?

    Iirc - one Ph.2 172 was waaaay down on power - circa 129bhp I think??

    Jenvey Throttle bodies expected BHP?

    Not having a blatant dig at RS Tuning here - but on a CS rolling road day years back, not one 182 got anywhere near their 'book' power. Mine I think recorded 164bhp and one ex-member on here who had spent a lot with different cams and head work, barely managed 190bhp. Maybe their setup is...

    Blackberry Volvo 940

    Does look a great purchase - came up tidy as well when you cleaned. The only thing that pushes my buttons is that shitty piece of twisted pipe that these all seemed to have, as an exhaust tip. I'd have to lop that last section off if I was keeping it.
