    The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy

    Yeah - you couldn't sell it now Andy. It's been with you through so much and for so long, it's now part of your DNA! :p

    Thoughts people...

    I have one question for this - what monitor are you running on? At standard 1080 res, just one 980Ti will piss it. They can happily run many games at 1440 and a select few at 4K. The big word of caution from the SLi perspective - is that it doesn't work well. Trust me, I have flogged my guts...

    How much do you pay for Sky/Virgin?

    If they are that close to your building already mate - good chance that they will be with your soon. How does the Virgin fibre stuff work? Is it still a copper wire to your own apartment? It's one of the things that I really liked about Hyperoptic, that the CAT5 ran into our apartment and...

    How much do you pay for Sky/Virgin?

    Yeah - it will just be another provider sat on someone else's platform. They seem to specialize in large concentration areas - such as apartment buildings and inner city developments. Had it for about four months so far and it's been great.

    How much do you pay for Sky/Virgin?

    We have Hyperoptic - providing access for Amazon Prime and Netflix. Currently on their 150MBPS package at £27.99, but pay the optional £5 on top per month for the static external IP. Stable, quick performance. Could go for the 1GBPS package - but its not worth it for my needs.

    The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

    The Ferrari is nice - but simply wouldn't compete if I could afford that GT2 RS above it. Brilliant colour combination too of complimentary colours - purple and yellow.

    Stellaris [PC/Console/Mac]

    Cheapest place at the minute for it appears to be on cdkeys - both Steam and Humble Bundle have the core game and the DLCs at pretty much full price.

    Stellaris [PC/Console/Mac]

    Yes - but not straight away. It's a bit of an oddball if you compare it to the likes of the Civilization series and many others of that type. You can't choose teams to begin with - you're completely ignorant of everyone else in the void of space. However, once you encounter each other - there...

    Hi from warrington! Need help please :)

    Surprisingly, they aren't too bad for rust generally - but it can be a bit of a lottery. Common areas are inside the petrol filler flap (mine has it there) and along the cills - especially if they have been roughly jacked up over time. Don't forget, even the youngest 182 will be in its 14th year...

    Hi from warrington! Need help please :)

    Welcome aboard :) Cambelts and the auxiliary belt kits are an essential check. Not only for being done, but also for being done right. Botched jobs can make engines self-munchy and clear evidence of the work needs to be looked into. Cheaper to do on the 172 Cup with the absence of the A/C, for...

    Stellaris [PC/Console/Mac]

    Things have come on in the last 300+ years of the Future U.N. Been absolutely rinsed by an overlord faction, who basically just wanted my subjugation. Since giving into them, nothing much has changed - aside from the fact I want to go to war with two other nations, but as they are vassals of...

    BMW 535d

    That might be the better option? If you're not giving it death everywhere and unlike @f0xy who uses his for towing - probably leaving it alone makes more sense.

    Bit excessive for a rear-mounted rad hanging down, isn't it Adam? ;)

    Lancer Evolution Appreciation Thread

    And you're right to. All rust can be cut out and repaired..... for a price. The biggest issue you'll have is that the protection measures used to guard them from rust, are often the very same methods used to hide the spreading evil underneath. After all, a freshly Waxoyl'd car beneath looks...

    BMW 535d

    Exactly - it seems such a paradox that a unit containing many, many moving parts - usually under significant loads, will not require maintenance at some point.

    Boot Lock Solenid

    Is this easy to access from within the car? My boot lock isn't 'flipping' with the central locking anymore - so its locked permanently.

    Across the line - 200k RB

    Yes, but... "It's French crap..... it will break" "It's French crap - the electronics don't work" "It's French crap - it's not German" etc.... Proof that when you look after them, the above is b****cks. Mine won't be far off 170k now and still a one owner car. Hopefully nothing will stop it...

    [Next Gen/PC] GTA V

    Wish they released additional content for the single player stuff in this. Really CBA'd with the online side of this game.

    Lancer Evolution Appreciation Thread

    As Adam says above, they 'expect' to be treated properly. The engine maybe bombproof (certainly in standard/mild tune) and assuming regular oil changes - but you'll still be paranoid with rust on these things. Don't forget, even that Evo 8 above is now 16 years old and made with crap metal to...

    Marc Smit south african tuner BEWARE!!!

    Probably the main reason why he's carried on for so long, doing what he's doing. It's the fear of feeling silly and embarrassed in front of friends and family and even total strangers on internet forums, that you've fallen foul of a scam.

    Prey - Mooncrash

    This is back on the cheap on Steam at £2.60 again, but also includes Typhon Hunter as an additional promo item. https://store.steampowered.com/sub/277639/?snr=1_4_4__139

    Clio 182 can’t remove windscreen wiper assembly. Help!

    @JJ55 - hope you lined up the peg at the rear of the bulkhead before you bolted it back in place? The mechanism makes a racket if not lined up properly and the sweeping motion is a bit out angle. Been there and missed that myself before.

    Think I've still got my Tuner List unit available for sale if you wanted me to check?

    BMW 535d

    Ade should sort you out alright - I still get email alerts of some of their remaps from T5 vans through to Focus ST's and those mad things like the Astras. He bought my Evo off me and tempted me for a long time about a remap before I sold it!

    My New VXR (Holden content)

    Epic purchase. I bet this is one of the few cars where adding a supercharger can't make you cry any worse over the shite MPGs that you're already getting. Bad fuel economy is just bad fuel economy!
