Oh ok, cool. You using normal tyres now? Or still relying on R888's to make you fast :rasp:

Essentially, the inlet manifold has little 'flaps' on it to control the length of the inlet tract on idle - for emissions purposes. Unfortunately, they have a nasty habit of breaking apart & getting eaten by the engine, resulting in terminal failure of well, pretty much everything :banghead...

Hour & a half last night. I hurt :o Booked for next week 9-10pm.

Not as far as im aware, just the 1st crazy owner spent an extra £1500 on the individual paint :S I remember you posting up your brothers one actually, & me mentioning swirl flaps lol ... I'm always looking at M3's ;) A 330cd Sport would have been perfect for me though tbh, although they...

Nah, facelift 320d :) http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?561238-Shock-Horror-Sir_Dave-buys-a-Diseaseal-...

Yup, i finally gave in. 1st name terms with the chap at Shell was daft really ... Its not that the 330ci was particularly bad on fuel (30mpg), but having to put £70 in it every 4 days was getting a little tiresome :eek: So, research into dervs followed, & having laughed at BMW's epic lack...

Well on Saturday, after 3 months & nearly 6k miles, the 330 was collected by its new owner .... Absolutely fantastic car that cost me nothing but petrol in the time i had it :D Unfortunately, due to my mileage going up yet again, derv was the only real way to go for its replacement...

Turning right at Snetterton, now that'll feel weird. Sure you can cope with that Ollie? ;)

Lovely car, the laguna splitter needs to go straight away though imho. The only Pugsport to buy is the 2" as well by the way, rasp FTW. Then Bilstein B8's (Grp N if your uprating the rear ARB), Faulkner 155lb springs, Raceland 4-2-1, Raceland induction, brakes wise 266mm will fit under...

I do 3k miles a month, so it makes sense to have two cars. But im old & insurance isnt so bad either.

See i disagree, i reckon if you're going to look like a tool driving a FRS, you might as well do it properly ;) I find blue is just a bit subtle lol

Green is the colour of Hero's on the FRS. Wheels look ace imho.

Get some Bimarco's, stick them on the floor - solves the awful driving position instantly!! Gearbox, well yeah, its not amazing lol, but not the worst in the world by far ... Re: the Trophy, pleasure use only these days :D

Pics required. Did the boost kick in mid-bend?

This. Its just a clio. Tbh, if you care what other people think of you, dont buy a cheapo french sh1tbox.

When cars get cheap, the poor buy them. Simple really.

Derv FTW? :o

Whereas an intelligent person (like myself), would simply ask my parents to start a new policy, using their no-claims, then put ME as the main driver, with them as 2nd/3rd drivers. Not fronting then.

Has he fitted hid's so oncomers get blinded before they see the front if it? Very kind tbh ;)

No problem buddy, glad to be of use :D By the way, not all your questions were daft!! just some of them ... ;) Car does indeed look awesome by the way :cool:

Pictures of your shed?

I love both these cars. Might have to take the grinder to the Trophy to achieve the same holey look ... either that or just nick the aerocatches off the black 182 ...

Just a reminder that football is on again tomorrow evening, from 9-10pm :)

Seriously Nick, if you keep this up you'll get a reputation ;) Like me Looks like a great buy, apparently your a homo if you dont remap it though ...

Wide trainers. Let side of the foot for brake, right side for blipping the throttle, easy ;)

Good point, ignore my last post non heel & toe-ers ;)

I think alot of people need to drive something powerful & RWD. Then barrel into a corner fast, change down without heel & toe/rev matching, and see what happens... Clue? Hedge. Backwards. This thread proves what i always say, clios are easy to drive fast ;)

Oh its great the 106 gti/saxo vts. In fact its difficult not to heal & toe lol ... Loved the pedal box in them, whilst everyone else moaned!!

Its soooooooo easy to heal & toe in a clio, if you cant do it, you need more practice. Simple.
