    FreeFalcon is another one (flight sim) http://freefalcon.org/pages/downloads/ ​D.

    Best flight simulator for PC ?

    That's when a game was a true 'investment' in your time and skill though! :) Such games are so few are far between these days 1- and pretty much non-existent on the console. Sure you can fluke 8 headshots on the run in a COD game - but it takes true ability and skill to launch, fly, carry out...

    Best flight simulator for PC ?

    DCS World is free to play via Steam. Proper heavyweight game though - definitely not for beginners anyway! http://store.steampowered.com/app/223750/ ​D.

    172 cup rear brakes!

    This. I ordered one from G 172 along with the replacement discs (with bearings) - as my offside rear started to drone and got hot in a matter of days. When I stripped the droning side, the washer was the wrong way around (probably my fault from the previous swap over, tbh). The washer has two...

    This Should Be Fun....................

    Welcome - I dread to think of the insurance premium for a Skyline in Wythenshawe! A-U-L is bad enough - lol. :) ​D.

    New to CS, just bought 172 Cup

    Nice upgrades - certainly looks like a decent one! Don't forgot in this recent rainy weather, you don't have ABS. ;) ​D.

    Horrible shaking/vibrating steering wheel at speed.

    James - another thing to check that can add vibration up front, is if your CV boot-clips have come loose at some point? In doing so, it can splatter CV grease onto the inside of the rim in an uneven pattern and create 'vibration' as the wheel rotates. Over the weekend, I had all the wheels off...

    Dead Island

    I had very similar issues on the original game. I remember spending several hours one Saturday afternoon with two other players who were pretty good. The instant they left the game, the progressed we made hadn't been 'saved' and it was all virginal territory again. As I said before, Dead Island...

    Help required please guys - 182 rear discs & pads (inc. pics)

    It wasn't missing m8 - but it was the wrong way around - tapered-side out towards the disc. I binned the old one and swapped it for the new one you sent me - fitting it the right way around this time. I'm glad I ordered one now. :) The nearside rear was fine and pointing the correct way...

    Help required please guys - 182 rear discs & pads (inc. pics)

    I thought there was a space between the hub and the disc and then a washer between the disc and the nut? Cheers, ​D.

    Help required please guys - 182 rear discs & pads (inc. pics)

    Just fitting new rear pads and discs and for the life of me I cannot get the bolts to line up when the spacer between the disc and hub is in place. I believe that these spacers are vital for extending the life of bearings themselves. But if I left them off, the bolts would line up perfectly...

    Horrible shaking/vibrating steering wheel at speed.

    Probably is this m8. I had my wheels powder-coated recently and got the tyres refitted and balanced. Got on the motorway the following day and between 50-70mph was just horrible. If I pinched the steering wheel with my thumb and fore-finger, my other three fingers were vibrating like mad from...

    reasonable expectations for a sub 2k 182

    I don't see the issue. Have you seen how many standard hot hatches and performance hatches/saloons come with twin pipes, these days? The 182's were ahead of their game! :cool: D.

    My Lachssilber E30 325i Touring

    Any mods to the exhaust? I'm sure I'm hearing a rather loud straight-six on Richmond Street these days....? :) ​D.

    Chromebook, Tablet or Laptop?

    Until you said photo/video editing, I would have considered a tablet or Chromebook. In that case, I would still go for a full blown laptop - ideally nab one that has a Windows 7 downgrade path (while they are still available) as you WILL smash your new device to pieces in total frustration with...

    How's the MPGs compared to your Evo m8?? :) ​D.

    Best flight simulator for PC ?

    Good shout that. I've had the same issue before - along with Ubisoft and their uPlay front end. Uninstalling the game and manually installing the latest front-end seems to solve the issue(s). Shame that none of them are a patch on Steam however. ​D.

    Nice selection! Though I would have sacrificed one of the three in exchange for a drive of that VXR. D.

    Old alloys & tyres - what to do with them?

    Cheers m8. I've never actually got rid of alloys before, so I was unsure. :) ​D.

    Old alloys & tyres - what to do with them?

    Chaps, My girlfriend's Puma had an advisory of two dented alloys on her MOT this week. We picked up a full set off eBay (including pretty shot tyres) and basically got the best set out of the 8. What's the best thing to do with the other four now? Would scrappers want to buy them for a couple...

    Battlefield 4

    Cool to look at for about 10 secs. But what does it actually bring to the game itself? Having an iPad showing a real-time in-game map is probably the best thing in that clip - just something that you'd glance at every now and then. ​D.

    Blue smoke under heavy acceleration

    You mention some black spots - but is there a lot of residue around the tailpipes themselves? On the bumper too? ​D.

    Buying no cup packs.

    If you're planning to change bits, then it's definitely not an issue. The only issue I saw with the non-cupped 182 was that the profile view made it look like a 4x4. It was a no brainer when I was ticking the options list when I ordered the car. Iirc, it was something like a £250 option. Quite...

    PS1

    It was the upgrading of the cars that really gripped me first. I think you started with $10k and the Toyota Supra I always used to buy, took a big chunk of that. Good times back then :) ​D.

    PS1

    Got to be the original Gran Turismo. The sole reason why I originally bought the PS1! It was really impressive in the day.... D.
