    Upgrade for future proofing 1080p gaming - from i5 2500k

    I've had my eye on the 3600 but the price doesn't seem to be coming down? 220? Yeah it’s old, I was very surprised it ran bfv after not gaming for a few years. I'm running 4.6ghz, anything higher was unstable. Have been from day one. It is a great chip and has lasted 8/9 years, hence i'm...

    Hi, Been wrestling my brain on this for a while. Looking to upgrade my 9 year old PC consisting of a i5 2500k, 8gb RAM DDR4 and a GTX 970. Thinking CPU, MOBO and RAM to start. I mainly play battlefield v. Occasionally stroll into GTAV. Manage 60fps on low settings. I have the occasional lag...

    What's the go-to 2k clear coat for paint repairs these days?

    most auto body shops should be able to do you a spray can that's better than halfords stuff. you cant do 2k in a spray can though. the idea is you mix two things together then spray through a compressor, and the hardener acts and the solvents flash off, drying the paint. There are two...

    Go Kart / ATV / Stuff built in your garage Thread

    Have a play with this: https://www.bmikarts.com/Go-Kart-Gear-Ratio-Speed-Calculator. Not sure on low powered 4 strokes as we run 2 stoke rotax's. Given where you want to use it I'd focus on acceleration. Rear sprockets are cheap anyway so if its really struggling try going bigger again. Just...

    Sim racers - what are you running?

    Hi All. Looking at getting a wheel to pass time during this lock down and I can't see any real life racing happening anytime soon. I doubt I'll have much time once back to normal so not looking to spend a lot. Been thinking about a T300 so I can use it on my PS4 and PC (once I get it brought...

    Upgrade for Fallout 4 and GTA V

    Cheers. Looks like the 380 could be the ticket. But the 390 looks much faster according to the stats, would I notice the difference though considering my i5 2500 and 1080 set up? Also only have a 500w PSU so things are starting to add up quickly.

    Interesting TT-RS Build

    More interesting TT build on PH. 3.2 turbo...? Mapping a car isnt hard work. Putting a turbo on something that wasnt meant to have a turbo is interesting. This isnt interesting. Fairly standard.

    Might go for this Alfa....

    facelift alfa then it would be the 20v 2.4. pre face lift was the 10v which has just over 30 bhp less.

    Might go for this Alfa....

    I have the 156 face lift with the 2.4 20v. I get around 45mpg although no DPF. Dont know if this helps. Brilliant engine. Bags of torque. Im waiting for the 159s to drop in price. I fancy a Ti.

    My daily. 2.4 JTD 20v diesel. pretty pokey for a diesel with 175bhp! Seems to be in the 40s for MPG too. My golf Gti. Had it 7 years! Engine came out today. Chosen to replace it with a 1.8t lump. Should have nearly 300 bhp when done :s Fun!
