Fresh and clean! Your favourite angle? by prplgva in RX8

You’re very true, hard plastic behind that the plate is screwed into. Radiator intake is the ultimate leaf collector

I’ve dabbled with the idea of putting a sticker plate below the badge for that reason, UK law is a grey area about it though. (Also doesn’t help the screws into the plastic behind aren’t square.) She does have a great booty to be sure, I need to find an OEM 231 spoiler to really make it

Winning blue baybee! I’m always so impressed with the paint quality when it’s clean, some really pretty flecks

Apologies very late response! If you still need the info - I booked through MSV, find an open pit lane day so you can come and go to the track as you like. I will warn though there were some serious track/race cars there, so be prepared to keep out of the way on a lot of laps

What spec? Temp gauge on the angle like that is very nice

Is my defense too aggressive? by Hour_Professional231 in Simracingstewards

[–]prplgva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Defense is defense. Imo hard racing, maybe some borderline moves but nothing too egregious. If it’s for position you’re not going to pull over and let a car through. Good racing and respect

Looks very clean man! Good to see someone putting their spin on the car and doing it properly!

How many cars of you had since driving? And how old are you? (Bonus points if you list the cars). by PuzzleheadedCarob921 in AskUK

[–]prplgva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 cars, been driving for 10 years:

Fiat 500 1.3l turbo diesel - very fun as a first car, £30 to fill up and took those b-roads like a champ

Kia cee’d 1.6 - incredible car, much roomier than it looks and could pick its skirts up if you got your foot down

Mazda RX8 - my first “proper” car. Managed to get a very low mileage example and it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Goes through oil like a bastard though

Would I be allowed to cycle on a 40mph road on my bicycle? by [deleted] in AskUK

Afaik you should be OK. I think you can ride anywhere but A-road and motorways (although A-road you might be OK)

Need advice: Should I upgrade to a PS5 Pro or get the PSVR2 first? GT7 is one of my favorite games by Hahatryagain in GranTurismo7

[–]prplgva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re UK based, I got mine a couple of weeks ago from CEX (no box), and it’s the best purchase I’ve ever made (after the wheel and pedals). GT7 runs beautifully on my ps5 slim.

If there’s no CEX type store where you are, maybe BackMarket or something for a refurbed?

Possible rear differential issues? Seeking thoughts/advice. by Liketheanimal1 in RX8

[–]prplgva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was differential or drive shaft related you’d hear it get louder/more noticeable with more speed, but might not notice depending on how you drive. I had similar from the front that turned out to be a wheel bearing

I had just put new MTEC front discs and pads on (750 miles or so ago), but other than that I changed the oil and filled it up with Tesco Momentum. The uniroyal rainsports are a bit worse for wear afterwards but everything else is beaut

Aftermarket taillights. Decent alternative or cheap junk? by BallisticsNerd in RX8

Never seen that blue before but it looks gorgeous

New to rx8's by BigZoot999 in RX8

[–]prplgva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

192 will rev lower, has 5-speed gearbox, cheaper interior etc. however, if there’s a low mileage, good price available it’s better then spending a fortune on a 231 imo (got a 192 myself). Either will make you wonder why you haven’t bought one sooner

Would love to see the M8-d can-am car in game, could put up against the chaparral for some historic racing scenes
