    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    So true. Chuck a load of additional items to fill those slots and you can compromise the availability and throughput of the lanes. If my SoundBlaster card didn't utterly trounce the onboard mobo audio - I'd remove that too and just have the graphics card solely occupying a slot.

    Epic looking RS Turbo there. Thankfully I'm old enough to remember when they were held in such regard. A family member had an XR3 from new back in the day - the first car I was ever in that passed an indicated 100mph. 🙂 I remember at the security office at Plymouth uni back in the mid 90s -...

    Another shout out for @NorthloopCup - assuming you haven't got your gearbox sorted yet? Did a superb job at sorting mine out after receiving some 'driveshaft-goes-BOOM' damage.

    RM04 MOR - Arctic Blue 182

    You did well in swapping that spoiler brake light out. I had to loosen my spoiler in order to give me enough cable slack to disconnect it.

    Supercharged M5

    Sod worrying about the price of fuel with that thing..... setup a healthy standing order for rear rubber instead.

    Haha! Nice setup! How long have you had that?

    Steering wheel not straight - alignment is fine

    I'd be suspicious of the track-rod ends as well, as above. Not that expensive either to swap-out and replace.

    Renault going all electric from 2025

    Probably not on its own. But a few years ago I was driving around a go-kart circuit near Praga, Portugal on a slightly knackered, single cylinder kart with a distinctive flat-spot around third way on the throttle. I had a lot of fun getting this old clunker of a kart around the track, all the...

    Renault going all electric from 2025

    Flaws often translate to quirks that themselves transform into admiration and genuine appreciation. Humans are strange like that - they want to exploit the trickiness - they like the challenge and more so when they get it right. I'd much rather tackle a decent A-road in a rev-happy Duratec'd...

    Renault going all electric from 2025

    I just f**king hate EVs. Simple as that. I hate what they represent and what ultimately they will take away from me. The requirement for the number of petrol stations will drop, favouring the b*****d charging points - so then you're travelling further to get to a place to fill up. As the...

    Hello - looking to join the clio RS gang and interested in your opinions please!

    Welcome aboard! I can't answer your questions specifically as I've only ever owned a 182 - but I'm sure you'll get plenty of feedback on here about them. The one thing I will say is that any 197 or 200 requires a boot spoiler. They look crap without them! :P

    4K monitor recommendations

    Depends really. I've got a 27" ROG for the majority of gaming - but for the racing setup, being sat a few feet from an 50" plasma is much more impressive. Would love to update it with a much newer 50" (or bigger) TV though!

    Well Duck…

    Main reason why I'll never learn to ride bikes - I genuinely don't think I could trust myself. Did some absolutely stupid things on my BMX as a kid - god knows what I'd potentially be like if I managed to acquire a circa 180mph bike.

    Well Duck…

    I think you have to be for the sake of their own development - and not wrap them up in cotton-wool away from the world and it's 'bad parts'. I've no kids myself, but their uptake and adaptability on new experiences is pretty amazing. I would have thought both listening to kids and being...

    Well Duck…

    Bad s**t - though glad to hear that all will 'hopefully' be fine. Indirectly, you've probably made the biker a much safer rider the next time he gets on a bike. Count it as your good deed for the day! :P

    182 Extremely rough running after engine start

    Have you got an audio clip of just how bad, 'bad' is?

    Caliper Refurb Specialists

    A friend of mine picked up his resprayed Porsche 911 alloys and brake the calipers to go with that for a similar price. That was just this weekend too. What you've been quoted does seem quite pricey, indeed.

    Bad luck - is the offending culprit repairable? Or is a new tyre job? Would be interested to know the cost of these tyres compared to more mainstream sizes?

    182 OEM knock sensor part number?

    Hi all, Could anyone confirm what the OEM knock sensor replacement is please? I got a cheap one from eBay and I still have the occasional pinking when picking up drive - especially on the initial uptake. Cheers, D.

    MarkCup's BMW i3S

    Hideous, hideous things! They just remind me of kids push-along car prams, but made for adults - literally no angle on them is appealing. Also, I still have that grizzled old view that any EV is the spawn of Satan, so it doesn't even redeem itself there either. BUT...... your review was great...

    Quietest exhaust for 182?

    To be fair - the OEM one in my mind had the aggressive engine note of a Nissan LEAF doing a drive-by. If you can cope with the pea-shooter tailpipes, accept the crazy weight of the damn thing, know that it will rust and hold water in time at all - maybe this is the backbox for you. Oh, and...

    Cummins 5.9 Engined Defender...

    Genuinely epic. I'd be soot-blasting EVs in the next lane to me with that thing.
