    The 'I work in I.T' thread

    I don't think there is a thread for us nerds. Wondered if anyone fancied sharing anything they're doing/learning/found useful. Or just chatting about the I.T challenges they're facing, certifications, roles etc. I'm in networking. Have been for 20 years or so, cut my cloth in Windows 2000...

    Robocop - Rogue City

    I bought a gaming PC off here, last year. It was primarily for driving sim action. I still play PS3 and have nothing newer than that, console wise. I also still play football manager 2013. I'm tight also. I am obviously not the right person to review any game made in the last 10 years. I...

    Bolt help

    My mate in Portugal has asked if us 'Englez pigs' can get these: 7/16 bolt, 14 thread pitch per inch, 1" 5/16 (or 33mm?) long. Needs to have a head/washer type thing, as below. I don't know where to look online. Other than going to bapp for bolts or something in Donny. Anyone know if I can...

    Motornation game - set in 2000

    Anyone play this? Www.Motornation.net My mate sent me it. I've not got a great handle on what I am to do. But I bought a 1.1L fiesta MK2 and got a job as a takeaway driver at a Chinese. It's all set in 2000, so no modern stuff. I have thrown a performance air filter on + a bit of weight...

    Scunthorpe Cruise - 2002

    Absolute legendary scenes. I bet most of the sreb ends aren't even alive now, never mind the cars. Clio Williams in there though, to bring the respectability levels up. Enjoy

    Plastikote/dip spray paint stuff

    I have some exterior plastic trim parts that I fancy changing the colour of, but not permanently in case I sell it. Rather than messing up a wrap, what is this plastikote stuff like? Presuming it can protect the paint underneath and is pretty durable, like a wrapping? You don't have the key the...

    Sound bar recommendations

    Our TV sound is poo. Mrs has suggested getting a sound bar, rather than surround sound as she thinks it means string cables under the carpet. (Does it? It used to. But guessing wireless is a thing now). What you got?

    My Dad's - Alfa 156 - 2.5 v6

    My old man, has recommissioned the Alfa 156 that he's had. Think I put a thread on here about it. It's by no means a minter, but he's done it up, so it is usable. But doesn't use it. Lol. Neither of us were sure on the price, but hopefully someone finds it useful...

    New hobby : old build threads

    I've been on the Saxperience forum for many years, there is nobody there (at all, genuinely no one). I have even offered to pay the owner to keep the forum, even though it is dead. It's pretty tragic. Me, I mean. In lockdown, I started reading old build threads on there, as far back as the...

    Laptop recommendations

    I'm looking for a laptop, with enough grunt to run a couple of VM's and a screen size of 17" at a minimum. It's going to be the workhorse for study, home, bit of video editing etc. Any recommendations?

    My Impreza mistake

    I saw an Impreza on Ebay, whilst just browsing on Friday. Spoke to @leeds_182 about it (he recognised it and was interested pre-forester) and we went to view it yesterday..... .....and drove it home. I wasn't even wanting one, up until 24 hours before. Should really grow up. I don't...

    Former 182 demo car?

    Making a guess, this might have belonged to @riz once up on a time? or someone on here might have had it a few years ago. Another photo, shows the reg, which is the same as below. Been off the road a few years on the MOT search.

    Clio Turbos (the 172/182 kind)

    This week, I'll be mostly fancying a low boost turbo 172/182. I have a few questions. 1) Do you have one, is it for sale c) Did the clioturbo/greer versions all blow up, or does someone still have one. How do you tell these apart from the engine dynamics variants. 4) Approximate costs for...

    Flywheel refurb

    My flywheel is OEM had done about 80k road miles. (not a clio). I then doubled the horsepower with a turbo & threw a paddle clutch on there + matching pressure plate. The clutch was used, so it wasn't massively happy at the new power level & it's a 4 paddle so a bit heavy on the knees. I've...

    Mig welders

    I had a hand me down mig, which either overheated after 60 seconds or refused to spool. Not ideal for a beginner as it was just stop/start with problem after problem. Looking for a replacement. Uses are the odd bit of car body work 2mm stuff, making brackets and various small household...

    Exhaust wrap - smoke

    Evening, I've never used exhaust wrap before, but freshly wrapped a manifold (not particularly well) and started the car today. It smoked pretty constantly, which I expected a little. But it didn't stop. The first header, which is the shortest (right) is showing discolouration. I think a...

    Paint revival & Cleaning/detailing process advice

    Wondering if you can offer some guidance as to what I'd need and what I'd need to do. The mission is to clean & detail a silver car. Some parts have been freshly painted, but the parts that haven't - have been exposed to the elements and in my opinion, look a little yellowish. The front wing...

    106 turbo winter project

    The saxo turbo is laid up awaiting some expensive parts and whilst looking for second hand bits - I found this car for sale on facebook. It was local and I've not had a 106 before, but have experience with the sister cars. So have taken this one on as a winter project/xmas present. Advert...

    Stud extraction

    I've been checking the valve clearances on my bike and one of the valve cover bolts snapped. Typically it is the one most exposed to the front wheel and not even half a can of WD40 made any odds. I'm left with this: There's not a great deal of land, left on the thread of the bolt, but I...

    Lambda voltage / wiring / signal

    I'm thinking the Lambda setup is the same as on the Clio's. I run an Innovate LC-2 wideband on my project car. The stock ECU reads the narrowband o2 sensor using the generic '4 wire' lambda. White/White/Black/Grey wires. I know the signal wire is the black wire. What I don't know, is which...

    Chargecoolers

    I went to a car show recently and saw a 106 turbo with a charge cooler installed. Since then, I've been reading some threads and they are plenty used. I didn't think it was the 'done' thing. I've never considered it before, in my small boosted project. But I think manufacturers are using...

    Look at my shaft

    My daily hack/nail was making some cracking and clunking noises when turning, from the passenger side. I ordered a 'shaft' from Renparts. Thats the 'new' shaft on the left. The abs ring looks too small and so do the splines. I obviously couldn't check this until my shaft was off. True...
