Just a quick one,driving down to Cornwall next fri from Essex,what would anyone recommend for tyre pressures in this heat with camping gear and two people in the clio.
Ive read some say higher some lower pressure,at the moment its 33psi Front & 30 rear with yoko s-drives.
Just a heads up lads on this months issue of Modern Classics magazine.On sale from today,Looks a good one!
Now ive just got to find a shop that sells it.
Had the orange eml light pop on the other day.Car runs drives fine,mpg is all good to.
I borrowed a code reader off of @Dr Jekyll and this is what it read
I also erased the code and it hasn't come back on since.
But is this most likely just to be the knock sensor?
Looking good mate and ive been looking at them car mats to,been trying to find nice ones with blue piping to match the cup but no luck,oh i have black xenons on my cup?
Also i will Hopefully moving to dunmow soon,so be easier to pop over if need bite doing etc.
You could spray some silicone spray onto the belt then see if the squeak goes away or changes to defo rule out the belt,i did this and the noise stopped when i sprayed the belt.
It was just the belt in the end mate,i fitted one from ecp a couple of years ago and was ok,then replaced with a new one from ecp again then 6 months down the line kept having to adjust it as was squeaking.I actually replaced it today with an original belt and got to say the oe belt seems so...
Just done them,not the best job as calipers were still in place,but still looks good.will do a proper job soon.But first impressions it looks so much better and almost a freshen up!.will post a photo tomorrow once dry.
Dont worry mate the wheels are staying a bright silver!,@Chris_Beer
Im thinking a bright metallic silver to match the wheels at the moment @imprezaworks
Ha i know,to be honest i think they all look pretty good and it was just to show people and anyone else in future who is looking to paint there calipers.
So thanks to @mintno1 that has Photo shopped a few photos of different colours.
The are photos are not of my wheels but give you an idea.
Red
Yellow
Silver
Gold
So next thing is to freshen up the calipers with a coat of fresh paint.There black at the moment and im thinking going to a bright silver?
Calipers how they are now,Black.
I was looking at that last night mate,trying to find a local place.
I put the metal pipe back on last night and liked we thought,thats what makes it louder!,now it roars again and pulls better i think??
Exactly what i was thinking to mate about the silicone absorbing the sound.Ideally a nice S shape stainless pipe from the throttle body to the filter would be great @haimsey
Yeah defo mate,i thought that was a good price he gave and thats inc postage.
Still think to put a new metal pipe on instead as im sure it sounds better and flows better or 45 degree silicone bend.
So on the way to work this morning i gave it a bit of beans to see if any difference.To be honest theres not much difference,if anything i think its louder rasper with the metal pipe on,i was half asleep tho.So will test again on the way home,any how looks much better and a new filter rather...
