Not driven in the rain? GHEY!! Thats when you have the most fun. But dont do what I did lol.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

You got that too cheap mate!! Thought I recognised the plate though.

My car always looks good after a hand polish/wax Heck I've even taken to using this stuff www.go-waterless.co.uk takes about 20 mins to do the whole car and leaves it utterly spotless. And NO it doesnt scratch the paint.

I doubt that a) any one makes a direct fit supercharger for a Clio, b) the standard fueling system wouldn't have a hope in hells chance of dealing with positive boost pressure, c) finding space to one would be an issue. PS those lecky S/C's actually caused a power loss when tested on an MR2...

Although I knew it wasnt a personal computer I always wondered what PC stood for. Now I know. Although what is a Porta Cable?

WTF would you use a PC to clean a car for? Do you go online and ask for tips or something?

£15k!!!!!! Sorry but no matter how much you love valvers thats just plain daft!!

I let it go cheap based on the fact it didnt start but it did and ran pretty much ok - whoops. Never mind - Mikes a mate and even though some late higher bids came in I kept to our agreement. I reckon a t-cut, refit the bump strips and new grill/boot strip and it'll look spotless again...

Motor factor shops nearly always offer exchange calipers. Some places even sell DIY caliper refurb kits.

Yeah I think it's the whole lot actually. Thought it was just a belt change. Andy - what would you charge? It's my old Valver!

Any one know any where in London (preferably north) that can do a cambelt change for a fair price. Asking for a mate who's been quoted £280 which I think is extortion.

Also an Rsport or group N ecu is car specific so at least it's built specifically for a certain make and model.

At least it's an actual ECU though and not something that plugs into the ecu and tampers with it (crudely and badly)

A chip cant control things like ignition timing or give you more fuel where you need it in the rev range at specific critical points. Finely mapping a car to get the best results is a car to car basis. You HAVE to have the car on the road or the rollers plugged into a computer to see exactly...
