Some of you may remember the mx5 I had a around a year ago. Unfortunately rust got the the better of it and somebody ended up buying it off me and taking it to France to restore it after it failed its MOT for it
Here are a couple pics of the old one, (sorry theyre huge):
Got the new one...
I know there are loads of these popping up on here, but thought I would stick up a project thread for my new mx5. After looking around for ages I managed to find a UK 1.8 with zero rust and 100k on the clock for under a grand. It has had a full respray fairly recently so the paintwork is all...
Started putting my clio back to standard to sell it, but Ive decided to keep it for another year or two until insurance goes down a bit.
So now its pretty standard apart from wheels, badges, bullets and splitter.
What do you lot reckon?
I miss the rear lights and roof tbh, but like...
Here are some of the pics my brother took at trax, some cars that havent been posted up yet etc.

I know a lot of you arent a fan of my car, but took some pics with my brothers punto and thought I would put some up.
Removed the sticker that I put on yesterday as it didnt look right, looks better now imo.
They looked ok on the little screen but have come pretty poorly. Next time we take...
Saw a low silver 172 with some stickers in the rear window the other day on the m6 into birmingham, I was in the silver non sport.
Also saw a 55 plate trophy but was hard to make out the reg as you went past because of the ridiculous rain!
Bought a down and out sticker from ebay a couple of days ago and changed it about a bit.
Now its on Im not sure I like it, but Ill leave it on for a week and then decide.
And so that you can see just how bad the stance situation is..
This is the sticker it replaced...
Know that many of you arent a fan of this show, but thought Id put some of the pics from today up.
Only went for the sunday but it was a good day out, had a really good time. Considered running the 1.2 up the strip, then decided it would be...
Red flamer that broke on the start line, is he on here? Black 172 wheels and badges.
Also a few others like cup with orange turinis, white 197, white 200.
My brother took some pics so Ill chuck them up in clio media in a bit
Finished painting my wheels/bullets. My cheapo camera is making the purple look different to how it looks in real life for some reason, so not many pics. I'll take some proper ones when the car is clean and the sun is out.
This is more how the colour looks is real life
I...
Just spent £40 the best part of two days refurbing my wheels and doing bullets to match.
Had finished all the primer + colour layers and had it all nice and smooth.
Started doing the clearcoat layer and it looked a bit grey, but I just assumed it was a bit cloudy (last time i refurbed them...
Currently refurbing my wheels as they have got into a bit of a state (mums + parking = :dapprove:)
Im getting a bit bored of black and so was thinking of a colour change.
Dont want anything too bright and in your face though.
Could one of the photoshop people on here please have a go at making...
Found a set of wheel that I like, for a decent price, but the centre bore is 57.1, too small for a clio.
Anyone know any places in north london/ hertfordshire that would be able to make the centre bore up to 60.1?
Also how much roughly would it cost me to do this?
Cheers
Me and my brother went up to this on the friday, heres some of the pics he took
We headed straight up to the rally stage which was prob my favourite bit of the day.
oops
Passenger rides in these looked fun.
Then we watched the hillclimb for a bit which was good fun...
Ok recently, every time the clutch is like half way down it starts making this wierd shaking/rattling noise. Even when the car is in neutral it does it, though not as obviously.
It makes it sound like your are not giving it enough gas every time you pull off, but once the clutch is past a...
Hi guys, dont know my arse from my elbow when it comes to wiring of a sub. My old sub was wired in when I had my headunit changed. That sub got stolen a few months ago and I have a CBR10 now.
The wiring is completely different (screws rather than proper connectors) and im unsure which wires go...
Gave my clio a wash today for the first time in eight weeks, so decided to take some proper pics of it.
A few in the driveway trying to show the shine (doesnt help being silver)
Then headed to the local industrial estate for some pics:
Once its...
Just a quick one, been having an electrical fault recently with my car which randomly happens when driving.
Had a mechanic come and look at it today and he says he needs to change the wiring loom.
How much should I expect to pay for an individual mechanic to source and fit a new wiring loom...
Ok over the last few months, every so often the electrical fault light will come on and while it is on the revs will just bounce and then stall.
It does it for a few minutes then suddenly stops and is fine for the rest of the journey.
While it is happening you can hear a wierd ticking noise...
Im condidering going to k-tec to have the 1*2 engine transplant. But im not sure if its actually worth doing or whether i would be better off just selling up for a sport.
Has anyone on here done the conversion? and if so do you regret it at all?
How long does it take them to do aswell?
thanks
As with basically much everything on my car its pretty marmite but used some left over vinyl to chequer my petrol flap this morning.
Its not quite finished, have to tidy up a few bits (around finger hole etc), but im happy with how its come out.
Also while following the satnav the other...
Who went from on here? Saw a few clios about, flamer with an exhaust, blue non sport with rs grille, black clio with orange chequered roof and a red clio with white badges to name a few.
I was the silver one parked behind the red euro corsa d.
