    Rally Ireland Super Special

    Great pics, m8! Jain's over there on a corporate jolly with Easynet. Wish I was there too! :) D.

    Stop trying to steal my Asda Stalker Crown, Lee! :rasp: D.

    PC Components ordered!

    Here, here! :) And that old PC still has some use. I've got a similar spec one at home - AMD3200+, 9800 Pro, 1GB PC3200, etc. I use it for all the trivial crap that I don't want on my main PC - like connecting the printer to it, iTunes, Nero, torrents, etc. Works perfectly for all those little...

    Back in the Renault Sport family....

    Liquid seems to have much more presence on a Vee, than a 182. A great colour on either car, but a 182 is 'wow!' whereas a V6 in that colour is 'WOW!' :) D.

    scared of pc-ing my black car

    Trust me - I'm the Lord of Fecking Things Up when it comes to cleaning cars - my own black gold included! My own limited knowledge and complete newbie approach to it, left horrendous marks in my bonnet. Scarily bad ones - I'm sure you'll be able to dig up a few pictures on this forum of my...

    Video capture software for XP64 or Vista 64?

    That's what I was hoping for - but it doesn't. I'm wondering if Canon are talking crap and that this camcorder is of such low spec, that it can't transfer video? It comes bunbled with allsorts of useless sh1te like Windows Messenger plug-ins but nothing of substance like a video editing suite. D.

    psp's are they worth it ?

    If you over-write them with hacked firmware - then yes, most definitely they are worth it. We can't talk about such things like that on here, though. ;) D.

    Video capture software for XP64 or Vista 64?

    I'm really new to any of this, but have borrowed a Canon MV630i analogue camcorder and want to offload the video to my PC. I've connected a 4 to 6 pin Firewire-400 cable to it and tried allsorts of options on the camera - but the PC just doesn't pickup on the feed coming to it. I've tried the...

    Just washed the car!

    Looks great in those pics - the alloys complement the colour of the car perfectly. Me likey :) D.

    ITG panel filter - more fuel efficient than standard filter?

    It's got me thinking this. I've made no change to where (or how) I drive in the past month, but I changed the ITG filter back to a virtually new filter the other week. Typical MPG now has dropped from a midge's under 35 to 33.4. Tiny numbers in their own right, but I fill up once and week and...

    black 182 bury

    Did it have heavy tints on the windows? Think I've seen this one a few times in Bury. The reg certainly seems to ring a bell. D.

    Good pics there lads! Nice spread of colours too. :) D.

    Blipping on Downshifts

    I've been blipping the throttle for years - ever since my dad went on the IAM course and mentioned it to me. I don't think I was old enough to even drive back then, but I started to practice it early on. IMO, there's nothing better on sweeping roads that to go from 4th to 3rd and with a quick...

    Servicing your Clio

    Well recommended, Si. I had my 36k service done there the other month and with you being in West Yorkshire, they are even closer to you. I've always changed the oil and filter at 6k mile intervals on my car since new. However, for the main service intervals, I've always taken it to a...

    Freshly PC'd

    Looks the nutts - well done there, Jamie! Reno definitely missed a trick there in not making white an official 172 and 182 colour... D.

    Worried about getting stolen....

    Me personally, m8 - I would never put something like that in my car. It's just too damn tempting for the scroats out there. What came with the Clio is good enough for me. I've learnt from sh1theads in the past of the price you pay for having decent kit fitted in your dash. Knackered door...

    Whose was this vee ?? (mk1 with trophy spoiler)

    I love spoilers on the butts of cars. The Evo and Scooby ones look superb. The one on the Escort Cossie gave me the horn. But the Trophy spoiler on a Vee just looks bloody stupid. It looks like a Halfords reject, put on badly and then allowed to slip and set at a daft angle. Truly awful. D.

    Private plates - Your opinions?

    Aye. There was one near where we used to live. Had a big zorst on it and sounded almost 911-like when the owner booted it! :cool: D.

    No idea m8 - but have you got more pics of the car in your avatar?! :cool: D.

    Extra bit on accelerator?

    LOL - I'll sure be giving this a go! Tbh, I've never used the speed limiter in the three years I've had the car. Sometimes the cruise control - like on the trip down to RenTech and never the climate control. Car toys do nothing for me... Going off the responses here, I'm struggling to...

    Car detailing - first attempt with a porter cable (UDM)

    Great job on that - especially if its your first attempt with a PC! Saxo itself looks good too - nice and subtle with a good colour combo of the paint and alloys. Looking good! D.

    Extra bit on accelerator?

    I know exactly what you mean! Only seems to be noticable if you're giving the car some beans? Hopefully someone has an answer. My m8 Steve almost has an obsession to find out what's causing it? ;) D.

    Just joined today at 60!

    Muchos respect if got the 182 for driving - and not using it as a shopping trolley! My dad lost his interest in cars years ago. At 59, his current Berlingo 'does it' for him. Maybe he'll surprise me and rush out to buy a 197 on his 60th? Then again..... ;) D.

    little pikey t**ts keyed my car

    I think it should be made an Act of Parliament:- Scroats who are caught keying cars are forced to pay the going-rate at the manufacturers' RRP pricing - to have the respray done. Doubled. Also, ten kicks to the b****cks are compulsory. If the car owner is male - steel toe-capped boots should...

    Private plates - Your opinions?

    I did see "E6 DPS" up for sale for £500, not long back. As I want an Evo VI next, maybe I should bite the bullet and spend the cash? ;) D.
