    Gigi the Gordini’s thread

    You mean the lazy basterds didn't do a sim-opp template for the RHD market ? It originally signifies on race cars where the driver is, so in the event of an emergency the marshalls know which side of the car to aim for. Peel them off and stick them on the RHS :LOL:

    A big milestone

    That sitting funny ? Or you buying your coilovers a corner at a time.... Might just be the camber of the road :unsure:

    Key blade cutting

    I'd like to advice you that just calling you a fat cnut isn't advice. However, advicing you to not leave your keys in your car as you lock it, you fat cnut, is some great advise. HTH.

    Starting out on my own - cleaning cars for money !

    I've been out of work for about 18 months now, and nothing at all is making me want to get back into an office (if that's even a thing any more). Since I had my first Clio, some 12 years ago, I've been into cleaning it 'properly' - no yellow sponges, leathers, or sloshing buckets of dirty water...

    Car insurance question

    Phone your current insurer and ask them ? I'd rather have the 12 banked (with savings) and find an insurer that will multi-car it tbh.

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    Which area of London ? No good recommending someone in Hounslow if you live in Dagenham :ROFLMAO:

    Battery drain

    A few weeks ?! The alarm will be working.. might not be using much but multiply that over a months worth..... If it's dying in a week or less, I'd say it's worth investigating. 2/3/4 weeks ?! Trickle charger as above. I have a NoCo one.. does the job. Plenty to choose from - find one that...

    Dab home stereo options

    Maybe you've got sky or virgin ? I had 'internet radio' on my Denon AV amp.. Then they took it away and you have to pay for it. It was only 128kbs which sucked, so I listen to 6M via my Virgin cable TV box, with no TV on obvs, thru the amp. Everything goes thru the amp. It has a Spotify...

    Car Alarm Woes

    RTFM. On most cars since the 90s, there's a signal somewhere that tells you what triggered it rather than guessing. If the cars not done a lot for a few months, it's possible that it's main battery is on its way out. And then you've started it and stopped without any driving, so a chunk of...

    23k Clio 182 on eBay

    Thought this was a £23k Clio. Disappointed.

    What have you ordered? *Detailing*

    I have ordered a bunch of stuff. And then over edited the fook out the photo :ROFLMAO: Interested to try the SBSD and maybe a combo BSD/C2 as half of CS seem to get squiffy over it. Currently absolutely pouring out so won't be for a while.

    Air conditioning system - recommission

    Plenty of companies that come to you to test/fill/repair systems. For the sake of the £50 they charge to do it, it's not even worth worrying about trying to regas it yourself. These guys did mine last year.. Used to design full aftermarket systems, before it was mainstream in everyday days...

    Locking wheel nuts

    Look at the bottom of this page.. locking wheel nut help, stuck, removal, keys, blah blah.. Put them in the bin, replace with standard bolts.. You can buy removal tools from high street shops. If someone REALLY wants your wheels, they'll take them or the whole car.

    Shoudnt the 172 feel quicker than this?

    Yeah, as mentioned.. about 200Nm of torque :LOL: If you've just finished a Motorsport BEng you should know that torque wins races. I've driven plenty of Clios, and currently got a Mini with the same engine as your BMW, and 30-70, the Clio wouldn't stand a chance with that mid range / real...

    Can't believe he's messing you about on eBay as well as here, @Ben- :ROFLMAO:

    Jet wash where you don’t have 240v

    That's the weirdest ad.. Ford cmax ?! Alloy wheel protectors ? Question is.. what do you want to get wet, and why ?

    e-scooters

    Totally get why you won't take the risk.. Seems mad that I can go faster with two legs and no issues on my bike on the road !

    e-scooters

    6 points ? On your e-scooter license ? What if you don't have a driving license ? Do they call your parents ? Don't really get the hatred for these things.. I can do 20mph on my bike on the flat with no e-ssistance but that's ok ? I'm not riding on paths, I don't need a license. No one...

    TRACK DAY

    Full day at Bedford, I've driven there, 1/4 tank.. used about 1/2 or more before lunch, gone to the shell north on the A6 (about 10 mins from circuit) at lunch or just before as EVERYONE goes there, and done the pm session and got home before needing fuel. Depends how you drive, how much you...

    Bad roof wrap

    Something like Tardis to melt the glue perhaps ? Definitely wouldn't be "mopping" that... @gally .. ever come across this ?! So to speak.. :ROFLMAO:

    First track day in the Mk1 - video

    Clearly CGI. There is no Mk1, no one's ever seen it - plus does anyone believe he knows how to pedal a GoPro, let alone make a video and upload it to YouTube :ROFLMAO:

    Should I buy a trophy as an investment?

    Put the £5k, or whatever the going rate is today, into your mortgage overpayment. Will make you more and save more money (interest) in the next decade than a small red French car rotting in the garage will make you. If, however, as mentioned above.. you want a Trophy.. buy one and drive it...

    Impreza fans...what's this?

    Ooft. That's nice. Very nice. Prepare for some proper 90s Jap driving feelings .. in a very good way.

    Clio 2 RS SORN

    Why would the belts or fluids degrade less if it's started up once a month ?! Oil takes a good 15-20 mins of proper driving - not idling - to warm up. Idle revs won't really get it all where it needs to be either. Have heard of cars left in dealers workshops over weekends idling accidentally...

    Clio 2 RS SORN

    Literally the worst thing you could do to a car.
