Top Gear was about the people, not the cars. When the people changed, it wasn't Top Gear any more.

They should have changed the name instead of leaving it tied like a dead albatross round the necks of the of the new presenters.

It's now a curse.

Top Gear is supposed to be a car show. Early Top Gear had genuine reviews on cars and was totally different to what it became, the presenters ego's made the show about themselves and less and less about cars. Hopefully it goes back to being a car show and Jeremy, Richard and James can do their own thing doing what they did which was entertaining none the less for the most part.

At least Chris Harris is getting more budget for his videos. Pretty much every aspect of the main show is sub par/boring/wasted potential, even down to Matt LeBlanc IMO. He seems to be reading some boring script. At least he's getting paid.

Oh well.

So, Chris Evans will not be returning for Season 2. 

I don't think many of the viewers will, either.

Top Gear USA starts again on Monday - That's better than the original Top Gear, seriously funny.

Top Gear USA has been dropped by the History channel in the USA, and apparently BBC is shopping it around for a new network so fingers crossed it get picked up by someone else.

Hopefully Top Gear UK improves from next season. Less advertising the cars and more driving and commenting on the good and bad bits. Still don't understand why Chris Harris was presented as a retard but things should change next year (if it gets another season).

Skimmed ep1, watched ep3 and part of ep4, thought chris harris was ok, everyone but chris evans and matt leblanc really. Segments themselves were good (though mainly saw car review type ones on those episodes, not the road trip etc) but i can see how a roadtrip segment with the before mentioned two would make for poor viewing. Biggest issue i saw was the in studio bits, you'd have a car segment then Matt talking to whoever the presenter was asking stupid questions which didn't really relate to the cars at all

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
