  1. Fairy muff PMu pads and discs?
  2. Hmm, that's a shame then, as that really spoils the look IMHO (which otherwise is fine). Would you look to weld the tips on instead?
  3. You got baffled inserts in those exhaust tips?
  4. Trouble is that it comes out a week or so after CoD, which means that much like the first one that no f*cker is going to be playing it and the servers will be as dead as a room full of young padawans after Anakin's paid them a visit. They really need to be moving the release date to another time if they want people to carry on playing it, even if that means sacrificing Xmas time profit.
  5. Controls on a touchscreen is a sh*t idea full stop. Worst design idea ever, and I include that for every manufacturer that does it. Give me a button that I can grab and operate by feel alone so I can keep my eyes on the road, not a screen I've got to plough through menu after menu to get anywhere.
  6. Even better it was 220 delivered out of 260 made, so nearly 20% being rectified Quality control may need some serious work more than anything else. Still, he’s off to Mars in a few years, so who cares?
  7. Perhaps, but it's unlikely anyone choosing bigger wheels would want more arch gap
  8. How so? Rolling radius is the same regardless of 17", 18" or 19" wheels assuming you stick to OEM tolerances. In the case of the OP, the car is already 10mm lower due to the chosen tyres.
  9. So what did he do to stop it?
  10. Some pics might help here. And welcome

    Tyre stretched

    The MPSS does indeed have more rim protection on it than a Pirelli, so normal. However, please do not drive that car until you've changed the rear tyres so they match. I mean, you can drive at real low speed to the tyre place to get them changed, but don't carry on driving as usual: Having mixed tyres across an axle is seriously dangerous. And those P Zeroes are garbage, the MPSS is a MUCh better tyre all round.
  12. Depends on what you're playing, and what you hope to get out of it. Purely from a power POV, I'm guessing that a 1070 (I run a 1080) can do High/Very High settings at 1080p at 60fps in most modern games. If you jump to 4K and keep those settings, I reckon you might only see 30fps which for me wouldn't be acceptable and misses the point of PC gaming really. To get the 60fps you'll prob have to drop down to Med settings, so things won't look as pretty in terms of effects. You will, of course, have more pixels so it'll look sharper. As games get more fancy, you'll likely be dropping that setting down even further to maintain 4K/60, which means that to keep things looking nice you'll need to upgrade your gfx card earlier than expected. 1440p is a good middle ground, so I'd say that's worth looking into. Personally I run 1080p/60 and keep everything on Ultra. I have no desire for more pixels as I'd rather see the fancy shadows, lighting and textures that the top option brings than more pixels right now. That's not to say I wouldn't like 4K but I'm not prepared to sacrifice framerate or prettyness right now, and nor am I interested in spending another £400 on SLi to stay where I am. I've looked at buying a new monitor in recent months, and if I was going to I'd be looking a G-SYNC monitor first and foremost. Sure, it's be 1080p still, but oh dear god is the refresh rates on those something to behold! For me they look much more visually impressive than anything in 4K. Sorry to throw another option onto the table I want quality over screen size these days.
  13. You're going so far out of spec, profiles are irrelevant at this point. I also don't see any benefit in putting narrower tyres than stock on the front, unless you love understeer. 245 minimum, if you want the stretch then go for wider wheels and wide arches. Although tbh this isn't my 'scene' at all, so I'll let someone else give you the exacting details on what you're after.
  14. That's because the suspension is utterly dire on the F80. Horrible, horrible cars. I wouldn't drive one again if you paid me, they remain the only road car I've ever driven that I felt like I had zero control over what was actually happening.
  15. Def worth more than a standard one, but I can't see them ever being uber-collective.

    Stickers

    That'd be classed as stickerbombing these days
  17. I wouldn't be paying £7K for an '04, full stop. The '07 would seem to be an easier car to shift, however confirm it's an HR first.

    Stickers

    Stickers externally I'm a fan of, but engine bay ones? Not for me I'm afraid. I've yet to see a bay done that doesn't look like it's been stickered up by 8 year old me who has finished his Panini World Cup book and is now plastering his room with spare swapsies.
  19. Project Cars 2 is ace, in case anyone cares. On PC anyway, where the FFB is finally fixed (courtesy of Jack Spade, grab his FFB files from the official forums) and the graphics are simply beautiful during the more challenging weather conditions. Hell, I even love the RX which is something I really don't care for in real life! I do think that PC2 is definitely a game where you need a wheel though, despite the controller setup allegedly being much-improved: I know that StevoD is struggling with his Xbox version massively. But yeah, if you have a PC and a wheel and like racing games then go do a buy. Multi-class racing is amazing!
  20. Just because the CPS choose not to prosecute, doesn't mean a crime hasn't been committed.
  21. True, but then that's their fault. MPS4s are the plural of MPS4 and nothing to do with MPS4S I'll edit it for clarity though, thanks.
  22. I’d prefer to look at them both as equally stupid sentencing decisions. I doubt the judge in the case you’re referring to will have much of a career left now after that balls up.
  23. I'm not sure 10mths was enough tbh, it's a school and you've got kids floating around that time in the morning like the two on bikes you mention. Given his view was clearly obscured by Knob 2, that could've been really nasty.
  24. No probs at all. 70L tank at say 18mpg avg is 270 miles on the nose. You can always use the torque to accelerate rather than the revs if you start getting too low, or grabbing a high gear early on the boring stuff.
