Managed to now get the Clio booked in for the 5th May. A bit longer wait than I was hoping for, but at least it will be all good come summer. :)

Thanks for that - learn something new! I take it that there are pros & cons for both?

In all honesty - I have no idea! Visually, the OEM speakers were different spec and had a different part number:- Front - Renault part number 8200069123 Rear - Renault part number 8200108290 They do look a fair bit different - front on the left, rear on the right.

Nice one. :) The difference I've noticed, is subtle but clearly there. Short of spending £££ on a stereo upgrade that I've no real interest in, these have just added a bit more to what I've already got. If anything, I might need to reduce the bass setting a little on my head unit!

Hi mate, The Renault wiring terminated in a white connector (seen in that 2nd pic above) that was incompatible as a direct fit into both sets of Alpine speakers. The link below shows one pack that contains two adapters for £4.99 - so you'll need two packs, if you upgrade all four speakers...

Not yet mate - it did cross my mind if I took the dash out, later in the year.

Updated the OEM speakers today with some Alpine units and adapter cables. Definitely happy with the mild upgrade - just makes the audio sound a bit fuller and richer without sounding like a Max Power t**t from 2002. Big thanks again to @Daz... for cabling advice and assistance, too.

I had very similar on the driver's side at the rear. Leaking in, ever so slightly when there was driving rain - collecting in and around where the jack is usually stored at the back corner. Like yourself, took loads of trim out, silicone'd areas - but it still came in. Turned out that there...

I think for me with racing games such as these, you really do need the gamepad to play them. As you say, wheels just feel like an afterthought and completely disconnected in every sense of expectation between you and the game. Games like Forza, Wreckfest and DiRT Rally 2.0 - I've always used...

I simply don't go on anything that's effectively PvP any more. The toxicity is off the charts. It used to be all a bit tongue-in-cheek with the occasional rimjob shouting their mouths off - but nothing like it is today. PvE with randomers is about as close as I get these days.

GENERAL: - added Fuji Speedway - added Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo II - added Lamborghini Huracan STO - added new special events - updated roadmap UI/GAMEPLAY: - fixed thumbnail generation on exit - optimized VRAM use of thumbnail generation - fixed chase cam losing rotation lag after...

I'm like that with Suzuka. On paper, it looks great - but I've tried it in various racing games and just cannot like it for some reason.

20 years worth of crap, dust and broken fixings behind each. Glad I’m changing them tbh. 😄

Legend mate - thanks for that. Just ordered now. 👍🏻

Went to swap out my OEM door speakers in the 182 to a pair of Alpine SXE-1325S. Appears to be two minutes of job, but the pin-outs are in the wrong direction - as seen below. Is there and adapter block or something similar that I can buy to make them align? I know absolutely nothing about car...

Good stuff - you finally got there! Isn't the blade on the left quite short though? I have a much larger clearing sweep than that.

Holy thread revamp - but worthy of mention here, via Epic Games.

I think you've answered your own question there. ;) "Best car I have owned - handled superbly on B roads." As for footwell water - most likely to be one (or more) of the scuttle drains being blocked. Mine had it coming into the drivers footwell last year after the centre one was blocked. Easy...

Probably my favourite of the 'serious' cars is the Mercedes GT2 at Mount Panorama. Just epic.

Are these trims RS specific? Or just any Mk2 Clio?

Yep - another shout out for Alex here.

I remember buying that for the PC and then returning it (to Woolworths!) as not long after, they did a specific version that supported the Matrox graphics cards, that I had at the time. Installed that and it look so much better and significantly smoother too. The first Wreckfest is only one of...

The ones I got off eBay were these, but it doesn't appear that they are listed anymore? These are the sellers contact details though - might be worth seeing if he has the same item recoded to something else, or a close alternative?

Still see-sawing between 20.6 something and 20.7 something on that first RS3 test. 20.651 is my current best. I either get the thing to understeer like an ocean liner in the hairpin, the arse-end comes around, or 2nd gear gets bogged down. Anyone else managed the 20.4 three star pass? The...

Clearly a lot to be ironed out yet - but I do like the constant trickle of updates coming through. I can't even begin to imagine the complexity and levels of coding required to get something like this running well. It's not exactly like you can download a full audio catalogue for the rev-range...

Yeah - still bugs aplenty. I saw a few last night when doing some of the academy licences stuff. Got stuck in a loop once, when I tried to return to the main menu. I had a data error message appear at the end of most runs, but I could at least retry without fuss. The Escort Cosworth had a...

I really do dislike that Alpine so much.... :LOL:

Dipped into the 1.42's at dinner. The 'revelation' that I had and will work on, is using both the brake and accelerator on the section after the Corkscrew. It seems a little counter-intuitive to load up the front even more and make the rear even lighter, but I presume the covering of the...

I think for me - the Andretti Hairpin at the end of the main straight is difficult in order not to out-brake yourself. Then there's the question of a low 3rd gear or high 2nd going through it. I know I've got potential to make up time immediately after the corkscrew and totally agree - the...

Cracking time that, Andy. Which bits to you find the most difficult?
