    Speeeeeeed!

    torque? clio? not really. Clio is a revving car without that much torque. Still its not bad, but it's designed to be revved (above 5k) to get the best out of the engine. If you want torque, get a diesel Golf or Ibiza!

    The Mind Boggles.. (Clio 197)

    mate that doesn't include speedo inaccuracies. Places like parkers and whatcar measure top speed with GPS gear, speedos don't mean s**t :D I can get 135mph on the clock out of my VTS but i know realistically thats about 127mph.

    The Mind Boggles.. (Clio 197)

    Can someone help me out here? Just been looking at the specs of the Clio 197/New CTR/Corsa VXR compared with the old 182/CTR and one thing jumps out at me which seems odd. Looking at the specs, see if any of you lot something looks weird? Clio 182 BHP 180 Weight 1090kg 0-60 6.9 Top Speed...

    Battery randomly gone flat, twice in 1 day :(

    got it tested and everything is fine, just the battery was fucked. It was the original and its an 02 reg so not too bad i guess! It was just wierd how it seemed to deteriorate so quickly!

    Battery randomly gone flat, twice in 1 day :(

    Hey guys, drove about 15miles yesterday and left the clio for about 1.5 hours, got back to it and it wouldn't start, infact it wouldn't even turn over, there was just nothing there. So we got some bloke to jump us off, then drove home, kept it running for an hour, then drove about 5miles before...

    just how fast are 172's

    I agree on the comparison to VTS/Gtis in a straight, line, my Mrs mk2 172 can pull away from my VTS a few car lengths on long straights, but i reckon mine will turn slightly quicker. Although it wouldn't be enough to keep up round the track, the clio is still a decent cornering machine. Imo...

    Help, PS3 HDMI connection

    i think its to do with the size of tv and whether it supports 1080p. iirc, when u plug the HDMI in, it automatically sends a 1080p signal, which a 32" (for example) samsung won't accecpt, it will only take 720p or 1080i. This may be why some tvs work automatically and some don't maybe? Someone...

    ps3 launch in paris crashed by xbox 360 :)

    with regards to the GT Demo. Yes, all GT HD was ever going to be was a tarted up version of GT4 in HD. So i expect there to be boring trees and boring landscapes. Thats why they scrapped the idea and decided to go ahead with GT5. Which is exactly why i love the demo, cos it just makes u drool at...

    ps3 launch in paris crashed by xbox 360 :)

    the demo of GT HD is pretty cool, but GT5 will be much better graphics. The nice thing about GT HD is the improved sound as well as imrpoved graphics to the GT4. Oh and the fact that they finally have ferraris! the 599 Scaglietti sounds immense!! /me wanks

    ps3 launch in paris crashed by xbox 360 :)

    oh and i forgot to add something! Sony will be fuckin laughing there heads off because this has given them soo much publicity. Even if many are slating them, every forum i go on is talking about it, this is the best PR stunt they have ever pulled, and it is working a treat!

    ps3 launch in paris crashed by xbox 360 :)

    the ps3 is that good, it will not fail despite the catastrophies with delayed release, its just too amazing. Especially once GT5 comes out next year. My best mate has both a 360 (with 10 games) and a ps3 (with 1 game) and i have to say im totally jealous of the ps3, but not the 360, even tho...

    197 cup spoiler?

    well according to renault the whole point of the splitter was so that they could do away with the spoiler cos it caused more drag. So i heard

    mk3 Turbo on the cards?

    maybe it will be the 2 litre strapped in the back with a turbo :D so it handles and peforms similar to the V6, but it less expensive to mass produce and much lighter. Hmmmmm

    Std 182 v Remapped 182

    Hate to open a can of worms but everyone disagreed with me when i said about changing at the highest revs possible to be further in the power band in the next gear, i agree with you! But anyway, none of that matters. I also agree that a remap will more than likely just affect your day to day...

    Can a Wireless Router connect to another wireless network?

    ok i agree with the part about the car, i would be a c**t if i stole stuff. but still im only using a bit of bandwidth when they probably wont be, and as i said, im only doing it while im just waiting for mine to be switched over to BB. :D

    Can a Wireless Router connect to another wireless network?

    Hmmm, well its a Safecom Router, which, even though is a s**t brand name, is actually a surprisingly good router! Although i can't find anything to do with a "repeater" or anything which stumps me. DrRollo: connecting them wirelessly WAN < 1st Wireless Router << 2nd Wireless Router < computers...
