I've stopped playing Pcars too. It was fine and i could largely live with the issues, but for some odd reason, all of a sudden my steering wheel became extremely stiff and near impossible to turn. After about an hour of messing with all the settings i found the value causing the problem, and it had decided to default itself to +100 instead of +10 that it should have been. Annoyingly this is one of the settings that needs to be changed per-car, and when i switch the console off and on again the default value of +100 returns. There's probably a way to fix this but i cant be bothered... it's been relegated to the bottom of the pile.

Welcome Dan.

Where was your car? Was it in one of the official car parks? I always park in Jet Park 3...

I've just received my invite to the closed beta for this. Game is downloading now... will report back with feedback

Just because i'm not 'friends' with someone on social media doesn't mean i dont have a right to be interested in why they've disappeared. And anyway, this forum is social media anyway.

Brilliant. I've just spent 5 minutes looking for an inoffensive 'Gestapo' meme but all the ones i found would have no doubt got me banned, but i didnt want to risk people not knowing why im not on here anymore.

Ok, I killed Smudgeon aka Jordan - but I did apologize Wouldn't have got banned for that So how about it Mr Mod Could we get a statement if people are banned, nothing detailed, just to what end they got banned/suspended for? The forum provides a description of what is acceptable conduct. People who go over that line are informed by the team. Decision made regarding warnings and bans are discussed and agreed by the whole team in the interest of the forum. The result of any decision is communicated to the member / members involved and no one else. There is no need to publicly announce any bans or provide any more detailed information on a ban regardless of how interested other parties are. It is between the team and the individual. Put simply there is no cloak or dagger agendas, the information is not for public consumption. You just have to trust the team. As Graham mentioned however we are currently discussing the issue but i see no reason to change the policy we currently have I'm glad it's being discussed Will, as imho i think this is long overdue. I have 100% trust that there is nothing cloak and dagger going on. I'd consider most if not all of the mods on here my friends having met the majority of you many times over the years. Wanting to know has nothing to do with dredging up debate or pointing the finger at anyone. It would just be nice to know. ...I think this is the only place I've encountered where someone can be 'disappeared' without any explanation. If you're at work and one of your colleagues doesnt show up, who you've seen everyday for 6 years, the boss is going to tell you why.

Man i hate not knowing why people get banned! Really winds me up!! I dont live on here as much as I used to so not up to speed with all the subtelties and cliques anymore, but still have an interest in the community. When someone gets banned i then go off searching old threads for an hour to build a timeline of events to figure out what happened, but i rarely find the answer.

Yes its definitely easier if you remove the wheel first. Just phillips screws as far as i can remember to remove the arch liner.

Ha ha, cheers Andy!

I should also add... my local kebab man came to my wedding (we became friends over the years!). When i was chatting with my mates that i used to go out with they were like 'Is that the guy from cheshire fast food? Why's he at your wedding?' Good guy. He also does a wicked tandoori doner meat... but only for mates.

Also i meant to say... on my first overnight trip away from home with work i had a food budget of £25 - so i literally spent all £25 in a kebab shop in Reading and was in there for over 2 hours eating kebabs/chips/burgers and drinking cans of Fanta and Dr Pepper etc. It was amazing, but the next day onsite with my customer was painful!!

Now we're talking. Literally my favorite food group. First kebab - Donner kebab, aged 14 Toppings - Chilli Sauce and Mayo Fillings - Only onion, nothing else Bread - prefer Naan or a wrap but often i'll just order donner meat in a tray to cut down on carbs Best Kebab - I've spent about a month in Athens on business and the best kebabs i've ever had by a country mile were from Thanasis Kebab in Monastiraki. Recently i've just moved towards stoke on trent and they have quite a few new kebab shops to try! My new favourite is a Chicken Shwarma on a Samoon - a lovely, odd shaped soft bread. Only £2.50 too! They sell mini donner kebab machines for home use, i've been meaning to get one for years!

If you can find one, what about a V8 Toyota Aristo or Lexus GS430?

... but doesnt an Uprev cost about £400, versus about £100 for the HKS SLD?

Or you need to buy an HKS Speed Limit Defencer. Much cheaper than an uprev, but fairly hard to find i think?

Ibherdesign kit. Not to everyone's tastes.

Lovely Supra.

Ah sorry dude, that probably came across as really patronising then Erm, didn't mean that, I genuinely thought that someone who was massively into his retro stuff would know more than I did. So yeah, apologies and things. It's ridiculous, I have a 50" LCD hung up on the wall for the 360/Wii/PS2, then a poxy 32" CRT which is about a billion times the depth for playing sodding Mario Kart on! No worries man. I've literally never purchased a CRT anything (monitor or TV). i always had hand me downs, and then when i became old enough to buy my own TV they were all flat screens, so never had to consider any of the specs.

Dislike! I enjoy your posts Gangzoom. I've never driven an EV but i get the appeal. I appreciate driving all types of cars, it doesnt have to be a V6 or V8 monster for me to enjoy it.

Now i did NOT know that. Cheers Dan. Yeah it's such a drag playing on these small screens. I've no idea how i managed as a teenager with just a 24" telly.

Yep I intend to get a CRT TV at some point. Mainly so i can play light gun games. I fancy a bit of Virtua Cop on the Saturn when i get one! Cheers. I built the cabinet myself from scratch. It's got a PC with mainly console game roms in it, but some really nice front end software that means everything is controlled/selected via the arcade sticks, so you cant really tell its a PC.

Sh!t the bed mate! That's a proper off!! Was it insured??

Okay so another busy weekend in the new pad. After quite a bit of searching i found some shelves that would be perfect for my retro games lounge... put them together and then drilled a few holes with some core bits for the cables and bobs your uncle. Just one minor problem - i picked up a Megadrive 1 since buying the shelves, and it's too wide!!!! Damnit!! I'll have to swap it for a Megadrive 2 which has smaller dimensions.

Zed gearboxes are very quirky to say the least. I always struggled with 2nd to 3rd. As SMD says above, get some Molyslip added and do a gearbox fluid change. May or may not improve things (didnt for me, but when i dropped the gearbox oil it looked like new anyway so the previous owner to me had obviously done it recently). In the end I settled on double de-clutching on every 2nd>3rd gear change. i.e. Clutch in 2nd>neutral Clutch out Clutch in Neutral>3rd Clutch out The eliminates any notchy/clunkyness. Annoying at first, but now, 4 years on, muscle memory causes me to still do this in most other cars i've drive.
