G 172

excellent tyres are the AD08R's. can't recommend them enough. the grip they provide in the dry is ridiculous for the cost of the tyres, and in the wet they are very predictable but i always treat standing water with respect. I have only done one trackday with the AD08R's in my twingo and they...

i'd ignore the folk who tell you to forget about your coilovers ; save the cash for a 182. that's like going to a 182 owner and saying forget your coilovers ; buy a jaguar f type. so let's ignore those sorts of replies and lets actually discuss what you asked dude :) what kind of driving do you...

i'd go with dan! well, if he replies ;) which i see he has. drum roll ... :rasp:

honestly, don't even toy with the notion of the job not being done properly when it comes to dan or fred :) renaultsport specialists in every sense of the word. they've handled a whole load of cars on cliosport.net and you'll find that folk who live 100+ miles away and more, will always travel...

Dan @ SJM somerset which isn't a huge treck from you i hope? or there is FRED @ BTM in birmingham. I'm sure all of the other guys will second me on saying that their work is absolutely flawless and worth the commute through :)

i'm just waiting on the correct people to see it! i was thinking that myself with the wheels, there isn't much 'badboy' about this other than the tampon that will be left on the seat that's fell out of the male owners skirt :P

do you tell clio 1*2 boys to buy a faster car when they turbo their clios or cam them? ridiculous thing to say.

was good watching you all show those peugeots and citroens who's boss. sorry i don't know who everyone is lol, but the blue 172 with pink wheels was such a laugh i absolutely loved that one as well as watching the (trophy?) clio chase down the white corsa b all day long but they were just...

very easy. you don't use any grease or oil on the re threading as this makes the swarf very sticky. set the cylinder to top dead centre, and then blow the swarf out using an air line :) tried and tested method we use for this kind of job, very common practice on bike engines also. best to use a...

i just re read that and seen it says HT leads, my bad mate sorry about that one. and no, recently they've went up to 90 pence for a can of super! time to stop, it's turning me blind haha

those are not the correct spark plugs for the engine by the sounds of the price, although i haven't checked but i do know the usual price for ngk plugs for this engine are much more expensive than that. only use the correct NGK plugs and nothing else

fair enough :) it's axle though.

yeah same things, some say minge others say hole! :P what do you mean with regards to the MOT? i'm completely lost, MOT involves no road test. you are only using the rubber glove and mole grips to stop the shaft from spinning and preventing damage from the mole grips whilst you tighten the top...

you could get a disposable rubber glove cut it up and wrap it around the shaft and then clamp mole grips onto it so it's clamped on safely and securely. as you turn it, the mole grips should be clamped tight enough and will come into contact with the body / arch and will hold the strut shaft...

2% difference in aspect ratio is what this refers to. so as the example i gave shows, the difference is 0.34 % therefore a pass :)

why don't you use a non nyloc nut? it's what i use on my rears, i know the pain you're going through mate hence why i said sod it and went with the non nyloc nut. loved how it just spun down the thread with ease. it'll be an M10 x 1.25 (or is it a 1.5?) i can't remember from the top of my head...

http://www.etyres.co.uk/tyre-size-calculator you can use this for now squidge to calculate the difference quickly, if it falls under 2% then you'll be fine for using the spare to get through the MOT!

http://www.motuk.co.uk/manual_410.htm as long as the sidewall height (aspect ratio in this instance) is approximately the same and results in an identical rolling circumference, it will pass an MOT. for example my twingo comes from factory with 185/55/15's but the spare is 175/65/14. this...

that's not true :) you could have a 13'' rim on one side of the same axle and a 15 on the other side, so long as the rolling circumference is the same. although that's only to be used to emergency situations, it won't be deemed an MOT fail under current rules. i'm not so sure about the kerbing...

no. so long as the rolling circumference is the same. most spares nowadays come with a smaller rim size but the tyre side wall height is increase to compensate

shifting spanner on the top of the strut itself to hold the shaft with a swan neck spanner underneath it to turn the nut ; do not clamp onto the shaft of the 'strut where it retracts into the damper, you'll damage it majorly!

I'm going to import some in a Z192 size (Clio Williams / Peugeot / Twingo GT) size for my Twingo. Bit bored of the DS2500's, CL's are a bit over kill so i want to try the Project Mu Racing N+ pads. Same sort of idea as DS2500's but a little better. They seem to get rave reviews from japanese...

well a decent paint job's going to cost you 1,500-2,000. tally that onto your 1k you've already spent and you're in a hole. as soon as you change the colour, it's going to substantially effect the resale value so you'll loose a fair bit of money there as well

if you weren't yourself, you'd now be the subject of death threats and ridicule by the cs.net Illuminati ! :P

anything's possible when it comes to exhaust tunning. it will require a remap for the over run to get the pops that you want. i hope this is the reply you wanted. it's a shame that nobody else could answer your question bar one or two :)

the new clio IV renaultsport uses a chain yeah, the majority of nissans use chains
