Right, time to get into all this detailing lark since those 2 weeks of summer and probably going to appear and I want to be ready ;)
I have read posts on here and briefly read the guide on detailingworld and felt that the best combination is probably Sonus pads with Menzerna polish, so with...
This might sound like a strange question, because this should be easy to find, but I've got a snapped battery terminal clamp bolt. Can anyone suggest where I can buy a new one? I've googled everything I can think of, and come up with nothing!
^^^ This is what I need!
Thanks.
Hi all,
I've got myself a car which, while only 3 years old, has suffered from a previous owner who clearly used dirty car washes and brushed past his car with zip pockets. The result is almost all panels apart from the roof have annoying, but very shallow surface scratches.
The car is...
This is for all those who secretly like 350z's and Tom16v in particular (for confirming that it needed lowering :clown: ) Was always going to happen, very pleased with the drop.
Ben, the old rears are still on it, and I do plan to pop over soon!
Here's a (sort of) comparison...
I got this stone chip the other day, and had a quote from the local ChipsAway rep - possibly £140 to repair this. Does this sound about right? I have some money on credit with ChipsAway at the moment which is why I will be using them, but I still refuse to be charged over the odds - after all, I...
Why is it that BHP/ton is quoted in the motor industry and not NM/ton? Does torque not have a direct relation to the weight of a car like the power does? As diesels become more powerful, I'd have thought this figure might be more telling....?
*awaits a geeky answer*
...and it was racing my Scenic through Milton Keynes, lmao.
It's almost like a driving tale: I was four up in my rocket of a minivan, the Clio took the advantage, but only just....blah w*nk blah :dead: :rasp:
There were a couple of ladies in the back of my car who thought they went to...
Ye olde number plates....the white (or silver) text on a black backing.
Has anyone on here got these style plates on their car? Do you get pulled over frequently for a full-on cavity search, or have the (hang on, try not to laugh) police got better things to do.
Also, do the 3/4 sized...
Where is the cheapest place to buy brake discs for the V6? Renault mark the price up a lot, and I believe they're around £300 a disc.
Perhaps we could have some prices for OEM discs from GDI, Yozza, etc.?
Cheers,
Mike
As per the title - I'm looking for the best (although pref. cheap!) ADSL wireless router.
It will be hard-wired to 2 hosts (server & x360) and wireless for 2 laptops (802.11G), so nothing major.
Any links to cheapest sites for recommendations would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Mike :)
p.s...
What are people's thoughts on these?
(Pref. from people that have used them before ;))
Any good on track, or more a road tyre?
What downsides?
Cheers. :cheers:
The pics below are close-ups of my Rota Slipstream wheels. They've been used for only 2 months from brand-new, they've been cleaned every week without fail and only driven shortish journeys in that time.
The near-side rear wheel is far worse than the other 3, but they are all showing signs of...
Right, this tyre has been mentioned quite a lot on the forum, so hopefully we can collect some throughts on this tyre:
How does it compare to other tyres you've used on your Clio / non-Clio?
Do they wear any quicker? Road / Track environment?
Are they noiser / quieter?
How are they...
1) What is Renault's figure for toe-in/out on the 182 cup?
2) What are people's prefered toe-in/out figures and why?
3) What is the stock camber?
4) Again, what do you guys run and how is it?
Not as important, and more out of interest, do those with coilovers run their front dampers...
I need camber bolts for my coilovers on the 182 - where is the cheapest place to buy them? Do Demon Tweeks do them? What size do I need?
Also, these rear 'shims' that can change rear camber, how much and where from? (how much adjustment do these allow?)
Cheers!
Big thanks to Loony for his top quality skills installing these last weekend :) Now got the rear seats back in (mainly for sound-deadening, I'm not willing to put up with 90db of road noise just to save 20kg's ;) it also looks good, and keeps my sound system sounding great). Loony, had to raise...
Please could someone tell me what additional bolts, etc. I need to fit the sliders (which I have) to my cobra seats / subframes?
Any tips on fitting them would be top banana as well.
Thanks,
Mike
I have fitted Gaz coilovers to my otherwise (almost) standard 182. When they were first on, the ride was hard, but the handling balance was still the same, and the front tyres still dug in hard. Life was good.
In the last couple of weeks something has changed. As soon as I turn-in now, the...
I have a set of Gaz coilovers installed on my 182, and I'd like to know what settings people are running (Gaz or otherwise):
Also, the springs on the rear are harder than the front, does this mean that the dampers are designed in the same way (i.e. on the hardest setting all-round, the rear...
What size are the standard Clio (mk2) wheel bolts (e.g. M12 x 1.5)?
Can anyone suggest some good locking wheel nuts that will fit in a smallish hole? McGard are too lardy.
Thanks.
