Hi All,
I remember a fair few of you have great knowledge of the PC gaming world.
I sold my Gaming tower for a PS4 so I could continue to play Assetto Corsa after I moved in with the Mrs.. The Ps4 is not really providing the same kind of experience my PC was.
I'm looking to build a console...
Hi,
I've been debating this in my head for a while and I can't decide whats right. My car came with 25mm spacers fitted. I'm about to run a trackday at Spa, my first time on track with the 197.
The Spacers are h&r bolt to hub type, 25mm. The car trams a lot on the road. But I'm not bothered by...
Hi,
I'm ordering some suspension for the R27.
Just wondering what you guys think I should go for in terms of spring rates.
AST 5100 with Coilover rear.
They recommend 60N f / 40N rear or for something a little stiffer 80N F / 80N F
Car is not stripped out, will not do many miles, some road...
So, some of you know I just bought a lovely RB R27. When i purchased it the steering wheel was a little off to the right and so I agreed to knock off a little money to have it aligned.
Took it for the alignment today and the right hand rear wheel is toeing out by 30 minutes. There is a small...
Hi,
As some of you may have seen I have just got myself a nice little 197.
I am not making the same mistake that I made with the Ph1, in that I am not going to throw parts at it until I am happy with it... As.. you are never happy with it.
i am limiting myself to a few simple mods to make it...
Hi all,
after much deliberation (seriously a lot) I have decided the next car will be another RS, however it will be a much newer, lower mileage version.
Netherlands prices of cars is off the charts, but I have to buy here as buying abroad incurs massive tax and import charges.
I cant...
Hi all,
I am looking for some help. My gearbox/diff bearings have gone and so I expect it to fail any time soon. I have stopped using the car and now it sits rusting away in the carpark.
Does anyone know someone who can supply and fit a second hand gearbox in the Amsterdam/Noord Holland area...
Hi,
I'm looking to book the Ph1 in for a new box as the diff bearings went in mine. The garage I have asked for a quote with mentioned a different gearbox with bigger stronger diff bearings.
Anyone know what he's talking about? Were the later boxes updated? I'm curious.
If you do...
Soooo....
Dirt Rally, can't post any links in work as "gaming"is blocked.
But I came across this game this morning. Apparently its a rally sim by Codies.
I believe there are a few Codemasters employees on here. Can anyone shed some light as to how it came about and what its future is. Seems...
Hi,
Hope you can hear the noise clear enough (le clio is just a collection of different noises).
I'm looking to get an idea of what is wrong. Curiosity more than anything. I feel like its the diff, but that's just my gut feel. Part of me thinks it could even be lack of oil, but that was...
The box on my ph1 has sounded like a straight cut on coasting for a while now. Its the original gearbox and has 240,000km on it.
I noticed last night that the whine has gone. Its now been replaced with a dull clicking, knocking, clunking noise on coast. If I leave it in 5th gear, very low revs...
I am sure in the past I have seen things you can shove in the exhaust (with plates in it) to reduce the DB at the cost of flow. I need something like this for the road.
I can't for the life of me seem to find anything.
Anyone know of such a product?
One of my top mounts looks wrong and the car is lower on that side. This is a pic of the topmount. What's happened? It looks like its collapsed or something.
I have purchased a second hand exhaust today. I don't know what make it is, and would like some help narrowing it down. (my standard system was mostly rust)
Right, to look at its very similar to the scorpion exhaust, however, the middle silencer is not the same as the one on the scorpion one...
I have debated long and hard over what to do with my Clio. I have spent so much time and money on it that I decided now that there is no going back. I can't sell it, I would loose too much money, and if I am honest, I cant bear to sell it, I love it.
So, with my new job paying reasonable money...
Been playing a lot of assetto corsa (400+ hours now). I can't seem to get the graphics to look good. So... This is what my pc currently looks like...
CPU: Intel i5 2400 3.1ghz (Socket 1155)
Motherboard: Asus p8268-MPro
GPU: Saphire HD7970 3 GB (gddr5) boost.
Ram: Corsair Vengence 16GB (4x4)...
What is the part number for the bottom ball joint? If I recall correctly its actually stocked as a Megane part ( or some other Renault) part.
Also, do you think i should replace the whole bottom arm? These are less than a year old yet one of the ball joints has play.
Thanks
I'm currently running 45 profile t1R's. I have killed the fronts now so am looking at getting some new. I notice a lot of people run the 50 profile.
Is there a huge difference? Should I be going 50?

Hi all,
I know a few of you are using Assetto Corsa. I joined a group of guys from the UK last night. They are running two mini championships with Assetto Corsa.
Great bunch of lads, quite quick (mixed abilities) and good banter. They run races on wednesday (BMW GT2) and Sunday (Formula...
Decided I want to change my subframe. Perhaps I may be able to track down my knock and wandering suspension.
How hard would a full Sub-frame swap be on the drive way with very limited tools (sockets and spanners)?
Whats the best way to go about it? What will be the most difficult part?
As I have said in other threads the knocking my car makes seems to be impossible to find.
Its now started becoming louder and more frequent, this may (hopefully) help you guys diagnose it?
It now makes the loud clang/clunk sound when I go through a chicane (i know its not a race track, but...
Came on here to get some others opinions.
For some reason I am scared of taking my Clio around the Ring. Mostly for fear of binning it or the engine/box going bang.
I think its on about 240,000 KM at the moment. Engine seems ok. Gearbox crunches in 4th, perhaps 1 shift in every 30 will...
Long left hand corner, sweeping high speed corner.
Come into the corner at around 110-120kph.
I turn in slowly and smoothly, car turns nice, then suddenly its as if the rear starts steering on its own making the arc of the car tighter, feels like the back steps out for a small moment...
Firstly, i know my car is a rusty old bucket... I feel bad showing my rusty under bits when I know how clean people on here keep their Clios... Mine is a tool, it goes around track as fast as my limited bag of tallent can take it, she don't need to be pretty..
Now, to my question. Is it me or...
I am still getting my clonk. from under the car. It only really happens now when I go over a speed bump at an angle, so as one side of the suspension is loaded up I get a clunk from under the car...
So far have replaced
Full/vibra engine mounts with powerflex dog bone
wishbones
pure motorsport...
So, fitted the KTR engine mounts this weekend. Been having a squeaky AUX belt for a while, so yesterday I decided to spray the belt with this anti squeak stuff. Got to work this morning and I noticed my engine was making a horrible sound like bits falling off it. Popped the bonnet open and there...
