yea gtt. what my plan was to run a boost controller, have the max set to about 13psi and the bottom set to however low it goes.
is it safe to run it with the turbo basically turned off or does it not work like that?
k done a couple of bits today
few questions, is this the turbo? im pretty sure it is but ill check anyway
secondly im gonna be fitting an incar boost controller. from what ive read, i need to remove this actuator (think its called that), and extend the pipes to the inside of the car...
£500 quoted for respray :\ more than i was expecting tbh for a mask n blast.
gonna be cheaper for me to just buy a compressor (£250-£300), air lines n water traps n just paint it myself at home. ill build a little enclosure, watch this space ;)
take washer jets out
clean the bonnet so its immaculate, no dead flies on or anything or you'll get lumps.
dry it properly, then start work on it. id suggest using a hot air gun around any lines of the bonnet so it sinks into them.
for the washer holes, just do 2 cuts in an X shape and slot...
yea all sound mate, needs an oil n filter change and a couple of electrical niggles, but runs fine. needs rear drum changing aswell as wheel bolt wont tighten up
pic of the fucked matrix
the heaters on my car aint working. they have worked before, but now they dont. i turn it on and nothing happen. the block on the back doesnt have any burn marks or anything.
first thing to check fuses or something else it could be?

was supposed to be next weekend, but ive had a bit of a riff with my cousin so im gonna get my mate to paint it instead in a bodyshop, should hopefully do me a good quote.
probably best anyway, wasnt keen on painting it in my cousins garage, wasnt very big and the roof leaked, so less stress...
oh and the sunroofs still f**king leaking haha
ive found that its coming in at the actual glass, it dont sit flush with the rubber seal, theres a small gap and its running down to the inside. dunno what im gonna do yet
heater matrix came today, rapid delivery from GSF car parts and also the cheapest around!
dash out n pulled forward following the guide on williamsclio. never really done anything as extensive as this before, but i managed it. was a ballache to get it out, but it went back in nice n easy...
need to buy 5m of vacuum/boost pipe for the rtt, however it comes in 3 different sizes, 4mm, 5mm and 8mm.
anyone any idea what size i need for a boost gauge and in car controller? it would be the same size that goes onto the actuator?
i dont have the car at my house atm so cant go out and...
ok found these discs for £45 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-MK1-1-4-91-98-59KW-FRONT-BREMBO-GROOVED-BRAKE-DISCS-08-2958-75-/300664012652?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Cars+Year%3A1991|Model%3AClio&hash=item4600f8bf6c#vi-ilComp
will these simply fit straight to the standard...
Your home isn’t in a cable area That means we can’t give you fibre optic broadband, or TV.
But we’d love to give you great Virgin Broadband down your phone line (our National broadband). It’s available in most places in the UK.
-.- /closethread
keep getting letters from virgin asking me to switch to them, usually i throw them away but i read it today.
i can get broadband 30mb and landline for half the price i currently pay with BT (landline) and BE Broadband (broadband).
would you switch?
im really happy with BE, not had a single...
yea that was my first thought, but im guessing im gonna have to change the entire thing to fit 16v/172 stuff, bottom arms and all that jazz, anyone confirm?
yeah i just want that piece that goes in there, dont wanna put clocks in as i dont want to wire them all up, just want the oem piece. otherwise im gonna have to fabricate a piece of ally to go in there, could be new home for battery n boost guages i guess
pics or links or actual name of that part im after? few bits on ebay but i couldnt find anything. there was a coin holder but it wasnt that part, looked more like the ashtray
see yours is completely flat, the top dash is different on mine but ive been told it aint a valver/williams top dash, some models had a tray thing in there or something
this area above the hazard switch and heater vents
cheers dude. i just wanna see what it actually is thats there, like if its a removable shelf or a plastic tray that covers the loom. i need to fabricate something but i want it to look oem as possible, so need something to go off
haha nah, could you do me a huge favour. could you take a picture of your dashboard above where the heater controls are. on williams you got the 3 dials, but on rt i think you got a tray thing or a blank area? could you take a picture of it please
cheers dude!

my old ones i just wired straight up to the battery and put a toggle switch in. wouldnt wire them up to sidelights tbh. just have them on a switch so you can turn them on/off whenever you want
