    Ph2 172 cup project clean up

    It's a deep cycle cell battery. I only use the car at weekends so left all week and seams fine , have one in my m3 and starts it with ease. Weight is 6kg so quite light but has screw terminals so you have to change that about.

    Ph2 172 cup project clean up

    Hi Decided to fit a race battery I had sitting around for my m3 and thought it made sense to put it in the Clio. Standard battery isn't heavy but not 5kg like my race battery. Also I wanted the room so I could put my oil catch tank up front. As you can see it's very tight on space Induction kit...

    Ph2 172 cup project clean up

    Had a hour free today so carried on with a few jobs. Removed the flapping panel on the tailgate which was held on by one screw and got some clips. My brother left it like that for two years! Much better now and cost under £3

    Ph2 172 cup project clean up

    Hi Was trying to kill a bit of time at the inlaws so gave the car a quick wash in between the rain showers. Very much needed. Once I have time at home I will give it a proper wash, clay, polish and wax. Also got the rear diamond cover off but need some tools to prise the front one off

    The main issues are that everyone has f1 stickers and turinis I like turinis but there are lots of different options. I'm siding on some chunky 5 spokes in a grey colour

    172 steering wheel upgrade

    Hi guys I need some advise , my steering wheel is melting a bit and thumb grips are broken. Now I know I'm bloody ugly so I can't afford to loose anymore of my looks so is there a safe way of upgrading my steering wheel for a smaller and more sports oriented wheel without loosing the airbag?

    I was more thinking fun as the reason the m3 duties are now shared with the Clio is cost. I'm hoping I can still have a playful chassis with oversteer to enjoy

    Got the oil already! I noticed there is quite a bit of oil on top of the gearbox too! Any ideas where this might come from?
