    Imported 172’s - Quick Question

    Piss poor playback quality - but I remember watching this the first time around on TV. My wife had a 1.7 Puma and loved the thing. Despite it having the usual rusty arches and an engine that liked to be on form approximately 3.6 times per week (don't ever stall it when it was warm!) - she...

    Imported 172’s - Quick Question

    OK, own up. Who's got the one and only 10-litre RS Clio? :LOL:

    Imported 172’s - Quick Question

    If those figures are indeed correct - that's even more motivation for me to keep mine on the road! 😁 Not even 1,500 licenced for the 182 currently.

    Imported 172’s - Quick Question

    I find stuff like that quite surprising. Surely from a production plant perspective - it would be cheaper just to include all three items on every car made - regardless of destination? I do get the JDM stuff though, where the UK spec cars had to retrospectively get undersealed and with a rear...

    Sins of a Solar Empire II

    Been waiting a long time for the follow-up and managed to nab it today from cdkeys. Certainly looks pretty and making my way through the tutorials at the minute. Hopefully it will appeal just as much as the original title did.

    Black Myth - Wukong benchmark

    Good stuff - but you need to update your graphics card driver mate - it's quite a way out of date!

    Black Myth - Wukong benchmark

    New nVidia driver out today - including a profile for Wukong. Would be interesting to see if there are any performance gains from it?

    New Hyundai Ioniq 5 N video review

    Would love to have go in one, but just couldn't sign up to own one. I'd prefer to pay half as much, have less than half the power and get an i30N Performance instead. Complete with none of the six fakes mentioned at the start. I don't know why manufacturers cannot simply accept an EV for what...

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    Awww. Not over-shooting your braking zone then, and rear-ending the car in front? :P

    Black Myth - Wukong benchmark

    Tasty! I'm surprised at the fairly small VRAM increase when your resolution is at 3440 - I thought it would consume more than that?

    Assetto Corsa.... Where the hell are you guys, you're missing out!

    The Bentley I found to be really controllable in ACC - sounds pretty good too. Iirc - some of my personal best times in game are still recorded against the Big B.

    Black Myth - Wukong benchmark

    Potentially the hardware-killer crown has been transplanted to this. On Steam, they offer a free benchmarking tool and it seems pretty demanding - especially on the water sections. Here's my default benchmark running on a 3090. Apparently 4090's are heading towards 100fps - which would be...

    Assetto Corsa.... Where the hell are you guys, you're missing out!

    Probably best ignoring launching the core AC game from Steam and downloading Content Manager instead. https://acstuff.ru/app/ There are two versions. A free version, but still with a lot more mods than comes with the standard AC. Or the subscribed version - for which I currently pay 1 Euro per...

    Anyone for a £25k corsa ?

    Tyre shine across all the tread. Nice.

    NGK spark plugs - heat range consideration?

    Put them in today. Interestingly, they were 7's that came out and have obviously had new 6's going in. Had a bit of spirited drive over here for about half-an-hour afterwards and it 'felt' smoother. Most likely a complete placebo effect or simply new plugs vs. four-year-old ones. But I'll see...

    NGK spark plugs - heat range consideration?

    Standard 6's ordered - hopefully will be here to fit at the weekend, assuming the weather behaves!

    Clio 182 Gearbox options

    @Lo7us111 - without wanting to blow further smoke up Northloopcup's arse, he is indeed the man to go to with these gearboxes. ;) Fully dismantled and refurbed mine after it suffered damage once a driveshaft went. Four years on, its still sweet as a nut. Got mine in for a service in two weeks...

    NGK spark plugs - heat range consideration?

    So, it's my understanding that the spark plugs at heat range 6 are fine for a standard 182, range 7 for a modded/turbo or supercharged option and range 8 for a pure track car. As they all appear to be the same price anyway, are there any gains in terms of smoother idle, smoother response by...

    Assassin's Creed Mirage

    Struggled to get drawn in by any of the AC series really. I still keep going back to Origins every now and then - just due to my interest in Ancient Egypt. But I'm still waiting for that 'pull'.

    JDM Imports - Canada

    Having driven thousands of miles in Canada over the years in pretty mundane rental cars - having the keys pretty much to any car in this thread must be epic. Fair play to you @E11OOT - living the dream right there!

    PC for Video Editing Help

    Does it have to be a laptop? There's a big compromise on options and capability of a laptop over a similar desktop. Most people think they need a laptop - and then proceed to never move it from their desk or table. In which case a desktop would have been far better. I have a laptop for work -...

    182 rear quarter panel replacement - Part 1

    Just for reference if anyone is interested, I received a price back from Renault in France this morning that the nearside rear panel costs £583.89+VAT with 7-10 working days for delivery. No word on their rarity or potential EOL status yet, but I might order one - just in case and find...

    New To The Forum

    Welcome along. One of two things will happen. You will either... A) - sell your Clio this year and in 2038, be complaining that you should have never sold it. Or... B) - the year is 2038 and you still own the same Clio. ;)

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    The main reason I've always had my rad top-mounted. Would it fit in there with the rad and two fans attached to it, up top?

    Subnautica

    It's definitely one of those games that has a unique attraction to it. I bought the Sub-Zero follow-on game in one of the sales recently too, but still need to finish the initial game first. Not sure if it has much in the way of replay value - but in terms of a new experience like yourself...

    182 rear quarter panel replacement - Part 1

    Not yet. Probably not this year now, but I will be at some point. If I had somewhere to store the nearside panel, I'd probably order it now as supplies won't be limitless.

    182 rear quarter panel replacement - Part 1

    True - they still look good now. Plus, I can't even recall in the last month or so of seeing a 1*2 on the road - so they are more rare too.
