So... I've moved house and I've sold my gaming pc. It was a alien ware but sold as I didn't have the time to use it and was devaluating day by day. So my question is I'm wanting somthing portable but that can also play the likes of CS:GO (CountrtStrike) with around 300fps. I'm used to a 144hz...

So I've broke my Clio as many of you may know. Currently waiting for my gearbox build back from northernloop. (Great guy) I've bought a 1.1 106 cheap and its brilliant. And I mean cheap. Scrap value 44k on the clock. Put it through a MOT with no advisorys. My question is what's the best...

Okay so I've been getting the timing belt and dephaser done on my 182, and noticed that the manifold flange where the cat gets bolted on has one side Spring and bolt missing, looks like the hole is none existing. (Corroded) I guess the only fix is to replace the Manifold, what's my best options...

I've just been looking at the engine, and seen this which I believe to be a breather pipe. Correct me if I'm wrong. I can't seem to see where this goes too. Apart from behind the bulk head. Has this been bodged and will it cause lack of power if not air tight? Thanks. -Arron

Wonder if anyone can help me, I've got a smell of coolant coming through the dash only when I've had the car at high RPM. I've noticed no leaks, no white smoke or no loss of anti-freeze. Is this normal when the car is getting drove hard. I don't get the smell when driving normally.. Any help...

I've just purchased a none touched 182. It's not a cup so has standard struts I'm waiting to lower it about 40mm onto 16s ideal? But I'm thinking what shocks and springs should I go for? Cheers in advance. P.S I can't seem to use the items for sale section is that due to not being a member...
