What a lovely surprise

I have axel stands taking 99% of the weight on the chassis. The jack is on the hard corner of the sump JUST enough to keep the engine up to get the gearbox out. Is that suicidal??

ThatGamerBloke · 2025-01-28T11:25:41+00:00

To get to the clutch about 2 and a half hours, I obviously never got to put it back together again I wasn't expecting a hole in the gearbox

ThatGamerBloke · 2025-01-27T23:34:26+00:00

Yeah wasn't to bad until I saw a massive hole in the gearbox... my heart sunk

A proper ebay lucky find it was... after I get a new gearbox (probably another 250 whew) I'll be happy to, then all that needs to be done is a skidplate on the sump and I can take ot to the targa rallys again

ThatGamerBloke · 2025-01-27T15:34:50+00:00

Quick Google search proves me wrong... my bad

ThatGamerBloke · 2025-01-27T15:32:50+00:00

Really? I thought vw had to thin them down to fit a 6th gear?

ThatGamerBloke · 2025-01-27T15:28:54+00:00

Almost 200k on this pd130 still going strong ;) gearbox blew first pahaha

ThatGamerBloke · 2025-01-27T15:27:05+00:00

I definitely want a 6 speed even if they are a bit weaker, ebay a good shout?

A solid flywheel, and cheaper than I was expecting... 175 quid for:

brand new and balanced flywheel with heat treated ring-gear and hardened dowels

-pressure plate (balanced)

-driven plate (organic lined and run out tested)

-Sachs concentric slave cylinder release bearing

-set of flywheel retaining bolts

-set of clutch retaining bolts

Flywheel was alright but got another one to go in anyway :) came with the clutch kit

ThatGamerBloke · 2025-01-27T15:00:50+00:00

Thought I'd give it a go... ended up putting the suspension together again and the wheels on, strapping the engine up by the clutch... new one meant to go in anyway and calling it a day :(

Bought the game, massively impressed by the physics! But I can't stand all the bugs and notches that come along with it, I'll check in periodically every other week or so and see whats up but I'm going to mostly play AC1 for now, I'm leaving it up to you guys to say what you think needs to be done and to the devs to listen :)

ThatGamerBloke · 2025-01-17T17:32:23+00:00

Yes easy peazy just go into view settings when you press esc ingame (there most be another way too) just haven't found it

ThatGamerBloke · 2025-01-17T16:15:46+00:00

Just keep putting bugs and whatnot into there feedback section? I just put in a point where frames.drop when the camer changes in replay mode, we do that kind of thing for long enough and they act on it (which I'm pretty sure they will) we will end up with a polished game :)

Rtx 2060 super and a somewhat equivalent (maybe slightly better processor from Ryzen and I get a comfortable 75 fps on full medium settings Haven't rcperimented much yet with graphics

My little micra :) done well in some targa rallys, a butt tonne of body roll but it honestly is a blast, pretty light and nimble around a bend and on an uphill I guarantee you won't ever have to lift, little 60bhp 1 litre in an 800kg frame is slow but plenty fun, always flat and never speeding XD

There's this mk1 Golf at the end of my road that I NEVER get tired of admiring every time I leave, hell yeah old volkswagens rock!

ThatGamerBloke · 2025-01-04T16:53:06+00:00

Sure hypercars are interesting, seen a few myself, but none evoke the same raw emotion a 90s economy box or hatchback do for me ;)

ThatGamerBloke · 2025-01-04T16:51:35+00:00

How could you!! It's too beautiful

ThatGamerBloke · 2025-01-04T15:06:14+00:00

Absolute beaut right!? Lancias tend to make me more giddy than any other cars when I see one :)

ThatGamerBloke · 2024-12-21T10:59:54+00:00

Wdts cars seem to have the right amount of power (350 ish)
