    Clio 182 revamp - initial thoughts

    This same thought has cropped up a few times over the years with regards to my 182. It's well into its twilight years now - and with regular posts of 1*2s being broken, scrapped or simply sold for peanuts - I've repeatedly thought about the revamp route. Why? Well I have a lot of personal...

    Ever expanding driveway

    I'm glad someone else agrees! I test drove an EP3 from Honda when they were currently available from the showroom. Apart from the great seating position, the one memory I hold in high regard was with that gearbox and gearchange. A superb piece of engineering - and like you said, pretty much...

    Twin engine R5 with F4R engines

    So pointless - that's its actually brilliant. Great work!

    Windscreen wipers out of sync.

    Yep - mine did this - I got distracted when my wiper mechanism was last out and only finger-tightened one of the bolts. Stopped sweeping while doing about 50mph on the carriageway in the rain.... Easy fix - also make sure that your mechanism slides onto the mounting peg at the back of the...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    I think the main issue with VR, is your clumsiness in the real world when using it. Sure, it's fine with a sit-down driving game behind a decent Logitech/Fanatec setup and chair in place. But that's about it. The illusion of being immersed into what you're viewing works when you can physically...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    I'm thinking of increasing my PC's storage. A couple of these will suffice.... :P https://www.scan.co.uk/products/1536tb-samsung-pm1633a-25-enterprise-ssd-sas-3-12gb-s-dp-mlc-3d-v-nand-1250mb-s-read-1250mb-s-write2

    Sold a car it broke buyer wants a refund

    Most disappointed that we're #70 posts into this thread, with no response from @Daniel yet.... ;)

    Creating a heat map

    Something like this, perhaps? https://mapline.com/features/create-a-map-from-excel-spreadsheet-data/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA_s7fBRDrARIsAGEvF8R6iZL_TsG79I6vUUbottA2idYNG1zAm9O4zNyB3iZw2ffmfRPiLSIaAr3vEALw_wcB

    60GB+ size, at a guess?

    Black Ops 4.

    Glad I read this. The only reason I buy COD games are for the campaigns. First one that I’ll be ignoring then....

    Was that the one mapped at Ade’s place?

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Seems like a good all-round spec, tbh. Wise move switching to the larger PSU - you can never really fail by getting a better power supply. The 1070 'should' be good enough for quite a while yet. As there's continually more interest in cross-platform games, the limiting factor holding back the...

    Excellent purchase Andy! I hope you dodge the overheating issues that a lot of 2080 owners are complaining about. Now what were you saying about that 1080Ti for sale? £50 delivered, you said? :P

    DiRT Rally 2.0

    I get that. I just want to put different rally cars through different stages and try to set a decent time. The rallycross section was ok, but the dune buggy thing was awful. If it reflects real life in anyway, those things must simply pirouette on a tenth of the throttle. Really liked the...

    LY FORGED MEGLIO R27

    One of my favourite parts on this and perhaps one of the least expensive are the mudflaps at the front. Should have come with these straight from the factory. Just wish that a pair would fit the 182 as good at those!

    Rear exhaust heat shield part numbers help

    Definitely - for a glorified piece of tin foil! :P Mine wore through on two of the washers years ago - but I just ended up putting larger ones on to trap it.

    [PC] Diablo 3

    Still not got through to the 'end' of this on the PC, though I did with the vanilla D3 on the X360. One of those on the forever longer list of stuff that needs to be completed!

    Eddie’s 172 Cup project

    Looks good - but Silverstone must be one of the boring of tracks we have in this country. I'm not even a fan of watching racing on TV around there. I've never driven on it myself, but with an elevation change of what appears to be 2ft - it pales compared to the great tracks of Oulton...

    Iphone Connection but no Aux ???

    I'm thinking that too. That's not like my unit at the minute - though unfortunately my cable will only connect to an iPod. I would have suggested speaking to Matt at MTAUDIO - but I don't think he's on here any more?

    MarkCup's BMW M140i

    Sounds like you landed well with that spec and circumstance, too? I'd find it difficult to let go of manual at the minute - I still like the mechanical involvement of it. Whenever I drive an auto/semi-auto - the novelty of stop & go is great initially. But I quickly get bored with it. For short...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Nothing wrong with that. I find that's normally the best way to play them. As games get forever more complex, invariably they still get released with a fair amount of glitches, lack of optimisation and little in the way of DLC. Buying GOTY Editions sometimes a year or two after the initial...

    [PC] Diablo 3

    Still plugging away with the necro when I play it. Seems a good support-type character, though dare I say it, a little over-powered? You can have a hordes of skeletons with you - summon a golem (of varying types) and some potent wraith-type geezer. All at the same time. Whilst you're attacking...
