Cheers! I didn't knwo that was the general term for them, thought it was the design of them However, standard missleading eBay ad - after part PX1486 like the title says, but it is described as PX1593 :-/ great. Hopefully it is a good seller and they get back to my question!!

My point precisely! I have an exhaust system for noise. Plus if I wanted an open filter for the noise I would get a nice induction kit/cold air feed. When people say pannel filters I got confused, as arn't the filters on a Ph1 cylindrical? Thats what shape my air box is? I wouldnt describe...

Need to get a new air filter for the Ph1 172, best one and best place to get it, any of the traders on here? I did a service on the car recently and didnt change the air filter so need to do it. If its worth up-grading then I may consider, but maybe just a better quality "performance" one to go...

Just came back from a weekend in Chester. Thought I would go for a little drive around North Wales seeing as I dont go up there often. Did the A525 between Ruthin and Llandegla, Horseshoe Pass and the Evo triangle. Took about three hours, and very little traffic despite being good weather on a...

Its just me then! Good!! Its just that I have never noticed it get hot this fast before. yes, a new temperature sensor is on the list for things to buy next month! I wish it was hot, its been proper cold in Reading this past week.

Not noticed this before, but how quick on average should my engine increase engine temp from cold? I noticed it was a bit quick this morning and then after work I timed it, just sat in the car for about 3mins and it was already on the 2nd spot on the dial. Maybe me being paranoid but I have...

The tyre painting is well cool. I like it a lot, shame my tyres dont have a nice logo/writting on as I want to do it as well. :(

Thanks, but I have one being made up so its ok. Thanks for the offer though!!

Ford Focus ST orange....yes I am :D I just need to wait for some good weather in order to start getting them primed and coloured. Have to do it one wheel at a time as well so for a period I will be having some serious odd colours on the go as the spare wheel is still the original silver!!

Another week and another few jobs done. First was the tyres, got a new front pair fitted. Handles loads better, I now dont wheel spin when gently pulling away in damp conditions. Fitted my ClioSport.net tax disc holder Slowly building up a good layer of wax and it being clean. Beading has...

Wasn't really sure how much they are worh so I whacked them on eBay. http://http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271465643828

I presume this works best with Halfords paint for the top coat/colour?

Going to paint my engine cover to match theaccent colour I am going for. Was going to paint wheels and mirror covers orange in the Plasti-kote stuff as I have heard good things about it. Was wondering if anyone has doen the same with their engine covers? If so, undercaot it or not? As I was...

Built a Triumph 2000 with my Step Dad and brother as a track car years ago, put a 2.5ltr BMW engine in it. It did get loads of attention. Came for sale on eBay over the summer with no interest and left unsold. And for the cheek of it the guy said the paint had been rollered on :O how dare he...

Mine sometimes goes off when I am driving it, looks like I have stolen the car!! It is as if the alarm arms itself as soon as it un-arms. And if that Imprezza who parks by me at home drives up to my car and gives it a bit of throttle to set my alarm off again I am going to scream at him!!!

managed to get out and do some things on the car this weekend. First was to fit my new filler flap Thought it was a bit of fun really!! Next I fitted my new steering wheel. This is the very nice and tidy job I did to fix the air bag light its just a fused resistor bought from eBay, the guy...

I had a similar problem, like mine would come on when I turned the ignition on. WOuldnt turn off by the button but then did when the key was taken out. Happened when I was pulling up at the security gates at work and the guards all took a step back going "whuuuuut" thinking I was up to no good!

Apart from a good wash and wax today, managed to get the final colour on my fuel filler flap Just need to sort the back out as its just primer with over spray, tempted to just paint it black to tidy it up, and the fact I already have a tin. Then a few coats of laquer to finish it off. Got...

What about solder and heat shrink it in? Surely that will give a better connection

I know the same issue was had on my car when my brother and step dad put the new seats in. But They put a resistor in and the light doesnt show up and the MOT was passed. I am about to change my steering wheel for a racing style deep dished suede one and will encounter the same problem. But a...

Mine has 143k which is about 10k/year which really isn't that bad. Despite being a track toy for a bit it has been looked after and it is only going to be looked after with regular services and that. Still feels like it can go on for another 140k!!

The engine cover is really nice. What paint did you use? High heat paint or just normal spray? Was thinking about doing mine to tidy it up.

Its already stripped out as much as it can be without being rediculous! Although tempted to run no fron carpets.... A nice set of coil overs would be nice, however they are a bit expensive so may have to wait!.

Private plates now on! Had to have them towards the top of the recess to cover some damage that is behind them. Feels like the car is mine now!

I would go back and and get them to check it out to make sure.

Black stripes are nice, suits the blue well!! Something a little difference. Feels wrong not having stripes on my car as I have put them on every car I have owned :P

I had a whine on mine, security gaurds at work knew it was me before they saw me! It went when the cam and aux belts were changed. Could be another belt on it and not the cam belt, so you may want to check again to see if the tension is a bit wrong on the others.

You knw the rule....if it can't be duct'd then it's fu***d

After getting mine done at a specialist I would say it was well worth the £500. At home we have done everything to cars (built them, put totally different engines in, repair) and pretty much any job that needs doing, but having a look under the Clio's bonnet there really isnt much space to...

Thought about doing this since I joined the other week, but not really done much in that week on the car! But thought I would just say what the plans are. So the car has been owned since October 2012 as a replacement track day car for my step dad, brother and myself. This is it on the first...
