My thoughts: Option 1: One benefit you haven't mentioned is that this would enable you to charge your phone at the same time, ensuring you're never left without power. Now, granted that means you getting your phone out of your pocket to do so, but using it as a navigation device. If you have it mounted at the correct level, then you wouldn't need spoken directions (indeed, I find them irritating so always turn them off!). Data streaming maps would be a no-go, however you'd simply buy TomTom for iOS and use that instead for £35. I have the UK, Europe and US versions, and they're all superb. Pop a new head unit in and you've got your streaming as well, as you say. This has the added benefit that you always have your satnav with you, regardless of vehicle. Option 2: I don't see a massive benefit here over the above option. Sure, it will be a bigger screen, but it will also be further away than the iPhone so maybe negligible difference? That's where I had mine mounted when I had a Zed, and although it worked well it's not something I would use these days as satnav on phones is a much more realistic and usable proposition. Option 3: I personally wouldn't touch App Radio with a bargepole until a couple of generations down the line.

Indeed: With the days on the NIMBYs well and truly ahead of us, it's vital that we all make a hugely concerted effort to reduce all our exhaust noises when on track as much as possible. No point having a nice sounding car when a helmet drowns out the noise anyway, and no point chasing every last bhp when it's not a race Always sucks to see someone get booted from a track, but I would suggest that your setup is louder than you think if it breached the limits: I ran there with a K1 with bungs in and had no issues, and even with the bungs it's not particularly quiet...! 95dB is really quite loud fella, you should be looking to reduce that significantly. I'd be looking to replace the backbox with an OEM one for track use, as that would be the easiest thing to swap out on a driveway.

On the MPS3 it's not noticeable, so I maintain it's irrelevant Which tyres were those then? For the most part, it's quite difficult to tell the difference between regular and XL, so bravo on being able to do so, most folks can't!

He's a bit like watching wrestling. You know it's fake, but it's still entertaining.

So did you have them all running on low then? What gfx card you running again? AMD cards are significantly worse off with ACU.

XL = Extra Load, irrelevant if it does or doesn't have this for the Zed MO = Merc specific AO = Audi specific You can fit MO, AO, or any other specific tyres to any vehicle, but you'll pay a premium. With those, just buy the cheapest ones.

Aiming for 60fps won't be the issue, it'll be the graphics settings. There's loads in there: Environment/Shadow/Texture quality, occlusion, AA, bloom etc. Try turning those down, even on the lowest settings it should still look pretty.

How bad? What settings are you using? What FPS are you getting? I thought FPS didn't matter Just wondering how far below 30 you were dropping, and on what settings. It doesn't seem very scaleable on the PC at all.

Nothing

I'll be playing it tonight

Great news, job's a carrot

Who?

Interesting, I cannot see any mention of that now either. It's not impossible that they've changed things recently, but that certainly used to be the case. Give it a go then matey, nothing to lose really

That's different: You gave them a registration number to assign to it. I think AK350Z is trying to remove the original dated plate from the car (so AB55 CED), which the DVLA will no longer let you do.

Wait, so you want to transfer off the original plate and keep that? You can't do that, I'm afraid.

Yup, it's done automatically. You'll just get back the original plate 99/100.

DING DING Ah yes, that would make sense. If that's the case though, then surely the wheels will never fit? Unless you put the weights on the outside, old-skool...!

But how can it be catching only once every half a turn? With five spokes, it should happen every 5th of a turn at the very least, that's what I don't get.

So the wheel moves half a turn and then hits something? That sounds very odd to me: It should either not move at all (or at least be grinding on something constantly), or spin freely. What is it catching on?

Weird Al is awesome: I had his Off The Deep End album when I was younger, and it was superb

There's always one. And it's usually you.

Don't grip round the gaitor, lift the plastic up and grip the shaft directly.

Grip the shaft with some mole grips (protect the shaft with a tea towel or similar), then tighten the knob by hand first then try loosening it. As long as you're holding the shaft, you can be as aggressive as you want: You won't break anything.

AC:U is HUGE. I mean proper huge, the map takes an age to cross and there is a multitude of different things to do. It's so pretty as well, and the crowds are massive but never intrusive. Yes, the frame rate is crap, but if you can get past that then this is simply outstanding. I would dearly love them to do AC 1-Bro in this engine, I'd so pay for that again.
