Doing well Karlos- looks loadsa work. Good luck.
prefer a tinker than an overhaul myslef
Mine on the rollers at Surrey Rolling road meet 4th March, then will see what they say i should do for performance
you should come if u r up and running
Looking at my first throttle body and trying to identify the problem, I can see that when you turn the black wheel to open the butterfly, the black wheel moves from spindle end to spindle end by a couple mm at least
Looking closely, it looks like the return spring has movement on it causing...
Thread resurrection. Is there a guide about?
I can actually move the butterfly flaps in the throttle body side to side, from spindle ends? How i stop that movement, and how do you take the spindle out to clean it.
They r fun these throttle bodies arent they :mask: lol.
Any of you with a cable operated throttle body on a clio 172 will know that when it starts sticking, or yo yoing, its a PITA.
So, having changed the throttle cable albeit aftermarket, and noticing the revs went both up and down, so prob not a sticky throttle cable, the throttle body was...
Using my spare atm (sodding clout nails) and have replaced the original punctured tyre with Ad08- r.
So thats in the boot
When late April hits, will get 3 more, and put the full set on for summer. T1Rs can either go on my powder coated 2nd set of wheels, or sell.
Just had a flat, so getting the flat fitted on saturday with an ad08 for £77 via black circles, and will use it as a spare till summer, when will get the other 3 donespare fitted
Decided to stay with new tyres too
In same position. Going for Yoko ad08 r's after reading up on here
Got a spare set of rims so may put some PS3s on, but as theclio is a second car, just not use it in the cold n wet too much
Put a window through for (Mine) a £20 cheapo camera. Methinks not, maybe a pricey mobile phone
Incriminating yourself is a fair point- they never noticed mine after a collision, ive still got the footage. But the Old Bill, are the Old Bill, and if the situation is serious enough, they will find...
Binned? Depends if you dont mind when you get an oil leak, which then drips onto this drip tray, then goes through the whole and makes a mess of your drive. Probably best replace IMO
Nice one.
Personally I like the upfront approach
Clio has one in full view forward facing
Golf has one forward, one rear facing, with stickers front and back stating "Dashcam recording"
Chavs whizz up behind me, then back off to 30 foot or so immediately.
Just the job
^ ^ ^
Sounds woth a try if its just the drone u r after. For me, i like it pointing to the ground as reckon that makes it less noisy for track running noise. Is there a packing that can be added to the backbox... thought i read up a while back saying there was.
I put a Bastuck Turboback on my...
Theres a BTB stealth on mine, and dont really get too much of a droning. Yet to get under and give it a good check over, but think (What i though was a mid res) theres just a Cat converter (newish) at the base of the downpipe from the manifold (4 TO 1) and straight through to the back box
My...
cant you take it back to the tyre place that did them up so tight
That spray stuff you put in a tyre to seal a leak
Keep air in the tyre for 1 minutes- or as a pancak? Maybe lift and tow? just an idea
No good at facebook myself, but found a photo of ADO8Rs with a Ben Patey at Bracknell (Cant see where they are being sold) but they are 16s anyway. After 15s me, but in no hurry. Late April will do unkless i can find a deal
Ha- Queens Head...no. Plenty of others trade can be plied in.But wife wouldnt be too happy
Think the conservatory due later this year will have to be put off for a year, just something less for Putin to Nuke anyway
Get that Clio obn the track for summer :-)
Sounds interesting. 15s for me, prob195s but mever done facebook myself either. Wouldnt know where to start tbh. Good ole ebay for me.
Ed: wife loves facebook
Right. What shall i flog to pay for new tyres... pedal box from the GOlf... No, maybe just massage the expense claim... doubtful... got it- car boot late April before Lydden :-) and cancel the Jan weekend away and do Ramsgate instead
Happy days
