    NW Rolling Road meet @ RS Tuning Sat 8th May 2010

    Too right! The thing is, what if the RR was really strict? By that, with most of the Reno's being down on power, does it mean that your increase over the expected bhp figure could actually be higher too? Who knows, you might actually be 240bhp+ :) D.

    Gone back to Ubuntu

    KDF will be along to propose to you shortly...... ;) Really wanted to get Ubuntu x64 working on my works' laptop. But it hated it royally. Extremely sluggish, almost like it was suffering from a series of multiple crashes. Tried the 32-bit version and it worked fine, but I'm a x64 wh0re. If the...

    Exhaust for the 182

    You might be best phoning K-Tec directly to make sure you get the right one? I guess my Janspeed does sound quiet after my previous Punto GT had a straight through pipe. Now that was loud, but tunnels and driving under fly-overs never sounded so good. Hard to believe that <1.4litre could sound...

    That figure looks Photoshopped to me as well...... (me-ow....... saucer of milk time!) ;) D.

    You don't count. Your car's not standard..... :rasp: :cool: D.

    NW Rolling Road meet @ RS Tuning Sat 8th May 2010

    I would have been pretty miffed at my graph in isolation. By that, if I'd gone on my own and got the 166.4 result, I would have been more than pissed. But given the figures being kicked out by all the other Clios - some modded, other not, I think mine was pretty much where I expected it to be...

    Atari Retro Weekender... (56k NOOO!)

    Bloody hell! Some of those take me back! :) I've still got mine at my parents house as well - I'll have to dig it out at some point. That joystick you had alongside the 2600 'Junior' I used on my C64 and Amiga for years afterwards. A good stick back then. Good to see some classics in there...

    172 Cup - on sliproad past Tescos, Haslingden

    Would have been about 7.30am this morning as I was filling up. Sounded good - not too braaapish. ;) D.

    Exhaust for the 182

    Mine's definitely louder. :) The 182 OEM exhaust is used it paediatric wards to help babies and young children get to sleep.... D.

    Exhaust for the 182

    You can get the silenced section on the Janspeed as well - maybe you've got the unsilenced section? Personally, I think the Janspeed is a perfect balance of noise and appearance. It's louder than normal, but not too boomy. I've got the one fitted with the unsilenced centre section and on my...

    Must admit - the Benetton Evo looked fapping amazing bearing down on me on the M62. :approve: Good power that too - given it's age and that it's not had a lot done to it, iirc? D.

    just didnt expect the 182 would cost so much...

    Man - that's so wrong! :rasp: The standard 182 exhaust sounds like an asthmatic, pathetic, weedy 1.0litre Micra engine being forced to worked 'slightly' hard. Not forgetting it weighs a ton. It's an embarassment to the sporting brand of RS by Reno. I was so glad when mine finally gave up after...

    NW Rolling Road meet @ RS Tuning Sat 8th May 2010

    I made 166.4bhp, which I didn't think was bad for a 99% standard 182 - shy of a panel filter and different exhaust. I still even have the standard cat and map. :) Paul suggested that a once-over on my cambelt timing might improve that a bit. Great day - thanks for organising it Da. Kudos...

    Street Fighter IV Collector's Edition (XBOX 360 & PS3) - £15.99 delivered

    Bought the standard Street Fighter 4 from Play this week - probably the best £13 I've spent in a LONG time! :) What I really, really like and appreciate about this game is that it clearly shows that the PC platform can eat and s**t anything like this that is deemed to be a 'console' title...

    Excellent. The Daddy of all Strategy is back. Looking forward to this! :) http://www.civilization5.com/ If you've not previously caught any of the previous games in this series, Steam are offering the complete set of Civ 4 games for a mere £6.25. Say bye-bye to a social life if you 'get it'. D.

    How to Respray Clio Bullets. Guide? Feedback Please.

    Great guide. :) That Halfords lacquer was the exact same one that I used but reacted badly with the background paint. :( A bit pissed off really as (for me anyway) I'd done a great job and not smudged or run the paint off the lettering anywhere. It was a specific gloss paint made for plastic as...

    Not a chance m8 - this thing is so bloody sensitive that I'll probably be 50ft away from the car. ;) When we did some recordings at work with it, it managed to pickup the landscaper's mower who was about 150yards up the road and we had the office windows shut! D.

    If they married the original game with the physics of GTR Evo - it would be pure win. :) D.

    GT5

    Ironically, I tried this about a month ago. I ramped up all the gfx options to the max and impressively, it ran fine on Windows 7 64-bit. If anything - it was a little too fast and certainly didn't have the 'feel' or feedback of the likes of GTR Evo. That said, Geoff Crammond is a god in my...

    GT5

    I wouldn't do that to my PC. It would be like dressing up an 8-year-old son in a sailors outfit and letting him go on an ocean voyage aboard HMS Gary Glitter. Could he/it ever forgive me afterwards? D.

    Games you can still play for hours.

    For me, there's quite a few. Mass Effect 2, Fallout 3, Oblivion GOTY Edition, the Silent Hunter series, Left 4 Dead 2, GTR Evo and of course, Battlefield 2142. My favourite bit about the BF2142 was finding out the 'weak point' on the opposing team. Normally, players would hang about for two or...

    Best bit for me (by far) was triggering a Police chase and weaving in and out of traffic in order to escape. :) D.

    Well, first off - it's only usable with the PC and PS3. There's no 360 support for some reason. I winced when I went to pay for it - thinking 'WTF am I doing' in paying around £140 for a wheel an pedals. However, when I got it home and fired up GTR2, it was immediately justified. Much, much...
