My vibe active sub is really good, but even at only 10 inch, it takes up a fair amount of room and is bloody heavy. Before that, I had a tiny 100w amp screwed to the back of a small box with a 10inch pioneer sub and it was perfect! Another option could be some 6x9's on a stealth shelf...

Tell your girlfriends dad to keep his Ill informed opinions to himself as he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. I personally don't bother with cat c/cat d cars as I always want to be able to sell them quickly. But bought correctly (as you have, tidy and just £600) you'll never lose...

Why would you not want breakfast?!

Yes.

I'll check the calendar when I get home. Going to be very near the birth of the new sprog so I'm 50/50 ATM.

Do you think the car needs more camber on track? Or do you like the way it handles? No point in setting it up just for Internet cool points if it drives like a dogs dick.

Looks dreadful. What a mess.

I'm trying to persuade Sam to leave the tent and merc at home and take my Vivaro instead! f**k your tents. Solid, warm, safe, and no packing away at the end which is the worst part!

As above, I detest towing eyes and yours is no exception I'm afraid mate! Love the car though. I've only ever had a 1.8 Es and a 2.2ctdi exec but I loved both of those. Great cabin, great seating position, very good cars IMO.

Actual lol's! Proper laugh out loud! I feel your pain, I d done similar in the past.

Yes mate. I was a bit naughty and used it for a 70 mile trip this morning (no tax or mot! Lol) and I quickly fell in love with it again. And it's my old one, not robs. I had it first so there.

Do you have a sticking caliper? Causing excess dust and heating up the wheel so much that it bonds to the paint??

You say 'protected them' but with what? Anything with a hint of silicone in it will, as JD says, attract dust. I personally just clean the dash using a damp cloth and leave it at that. I've yet to find a dressing that doesn't either give a glare in the sun or attract dust. Both of which...

f**k about, you couldn't get much different to the lupo it's replaced! Lol. Great cars, enjoy.

You won't be able to dye 182 carpets, not without them looking crap anyway. Black dye is meant for re-dying black carpets. I know this because this is what I do. Dying blue/grey carpet with black dye will leave patches unless you're very very lucky. Your best bet if the carpets are minging...

Wow. What an awesome awesome car. Absolutely awesome.

In cd function, unless there's a multi changer fitted, the numbers do nothing. What if you wanted track 7?? The radio presets are stored under 1-6.

If you're ever going by Bristol, pop in and I'll do them while you make my coffee and roll ups.

Have you tried acid yet?

If I had standard parts, I'd put it back to standard then sell it. Williams wheels, coilovers, exhaust, decat, spoiler, splitter.... All worth money on their own but absolutely fcuk all when bolted to a car!

What should I put my ph1 up for sale for? It's been sat for a month unused so tbh if rather get rid of it. Silver Ph1 172 with ph2 dash and interior, coilovers, cup spoiler etc etc, new tax and MOT, 110k loads of history belts not due for over well over a year.

Mines got a new mot, 4 new tyres and FSH, up for £999 and i've not had one single person on it! Unless they're 1/2 owner minters these things aren't worth a w**k nowadays.

Holy s**t! That was bad! Glad I never raced it now! lol.

Great work! (But those wheels do it no favours) Fantastic to see another mk1 on the forum. :)

Should do. I use stuff called 'descaling acid'. It's horrible stuff but you only need to use it once. Spray on, pressure wash off, protect the wheels and then after that just use normal citrus based/other weak crap to clean them. Acid is really only for properly neglected wheels.

Like this; http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?688271-Descaling-acid-vs-brake-dust&highlight=wheel+acid+vs

if it's caked on s**t, you want something with a strong acid content. I use neat acid in work and it genuinely fcuks if off. Something like this...

Why would tar remover remove brake dust??

It means I need to collect it mon-fri 9-5, as you want to pay the cash in the bank before you release the car. 90% of the cars I sell are at weekends or evenings as most people work. Don't get upset about criticism, we're trying to help you sell the car.

Very odd I must admit. Wants to sell something, won't accept money. :S
