Has anyone removed their wiper linkage and revamped it - including repainting it? After 18 years, mine's looking decidedly sun-bleached grey and with a little dribble of rust from under the central linkage. Ideally, I'd refurb it to all black - but is it a ballache does anyone know? Thanks, D.

I wouldn't mind one of these those... 4TB ideally... ;)

Exactly that - yep. Couldn't complain really for less than £80.

Just for reference if anyone was interested - a couple of NVMe M.2 benchmark comparisons. The first two drives are 1TB Gen3 and the last is a 2TB Gen4 that I picked up in last week's Amazon sale. Standard Samsung drive... Samsung 970 Evo... Corsair 2TB...

I've only recently come to terms with the fact that VR (and getting the most out of it) requires a lot of manual intervention. I naively thought that for 90% of it - it would simply be plug & go, but that's clearly not the case. As it stands, I can see no real discernable difference at all...

My windscreen is awful as it's the OEM piece of glass - many hairline scratches and tiny chips from road debris. But I'm loathe to swap it out due to this very reason. The windscreen on my previous car had been replaced at some point and was lovely and clear to look out from. But water was...

Is it simply called 'Clio boot organiser' or similar? I'll keep a lookout for one of those, thanks. :)

@Brigsy - liking that boot tray organiser! Where's that from?

I was going to say this. Mine was making a racket over small undulations on the road surface, coming from the offside front ARB bush. Got that sorted once we knew what it was and it's been fine ever since.

Probably trying to cover some of the cost of the respray. Liquid Yellow (done properly) is one hell of a job to get right. That said, nothing major on it's history that would sound too worrying? But for me, it's not a genuine LY from the get-go and for that alone (and the price!) I'd probably...

Cracking pictures all. As others, just so nice to see the cars actually being used, rather than being mothballed somewhere.

I'd like to see what drivers like Ash Sutton would think of being behind the wheel of a Super Tourer. 20+ years of tech difference is massive in motorsport, but I wonder if the older car(s) would feel more 'analogue' to a capable driver?

I assume that they will have checked the fuses? Hopefully it may have jus blown one of those? Whereabouts are you located? There maybe a specialist nearby that could shed some light on what's gone on?

When you say broken as in broke the engine, or fried the ECU? Is the car completely immobile right now?

Must admit - I know jack s**t about football, but have liked FM 2023 Touch on the iPad. I tried the free trial of FM 2023 on the PC through Steam and it appeared like I was controlling the Hadron Collider whilst learning Japanese and attempting to bungee jump at the same time. Way too much for me!

Apart from the p**n (!) I can't think of anything else that suits VR better than racing games, when setup correctly. The glance to the apex, the check to your side that you're far enough ahead of the car coming alongside you. The fact that you actually use your wing mirrors properly rather than...

No one dumped money onto a Simucube 2 Ultimate yet, then? ;) https://simucube.com/simucube-2-ultimate/?v=fa868488740a Not quite sure why anyone would require up to 32Nm of torque in a racing sim though?

Welcome back to the fold..... :)

Good stuff - excellent buy that as well for its age. Not even 1,600 miles per year, if you averaged it out. :)

Tried to follow the ideal racing line on Kyalami and it's interesting to see how on two corners, it's a bit alien to how I would have approached them. It clearly works - but feel like I'm fighting the car more to get it to stick to those lines. In the real world, I wonder if stepping off the...

I prefer the symmetry of the spokes on the new alloys - a nice swap.

Still can't believe that that game is still in early access.

Ah - now you're asking. I assumed that it was the full kit with the load cell - purely because the text refers to you moving the standard brake across and clipping it into the clutch socket on the pedal base. Given that a basic clutch pedal is less that £40 alone, that would leave an...

Not an expensive addition, if you really wanted it? https://fanatec.com/eu-en/accessories/pedal-accessories/csl-pedals-clutch-kit Failing that, move the existing brake pedal and shunt that over to the clutch position and get the upgraded load-cell brake pedal...

Managed to dip into the 1.48's with the 296 earlier at Kyalami - but it appears not to 'save' the time unless you get back to the pits. If you just quit, it doesn't save it. :( So, in terms of evidence - 1.49.950 will have to do. For now. Didn't adjust the car from standard and have no...

Like most mainstream Logitech wheels, the Driving Force GT had up to 2.5Nm of torque for force feedback. The Fanatec CSL DD is double that at 5Nm and can be upgraded to 8Nm with the beefier power supply. For mainstream use - I genuinely wouldn't be craving more. As an example, I went on Kyalami...

Threads like these just reinforce why I'm highly unlikely to ever sell mine! :)

100 Euros cheaper than when I bought mine. Worth it if you're remotely interested in sim racing. Be warned that you'll be paying about £70 tax on top though with it coming from Germany via UPS - but even then, I'd still recommend it.

Was expecting this post to appear in the 'You park like a c*nt' thread. Most disappointed in the sensiblity shown.

How long will it be before we have to explain why a small Ford at 23-years vintage and with only 155bhp on tap, requests a five-figure price? ;)
