I wonder if GSF sell OE shocks? Should be cheaper. Cheers, Rob

Spotted a good condition Williams in Exmouth. V shiney car! Anyone here? Rob669

Me it was at the roundabout and wearing my hat 'cos it's so cold! Cheers, Rob669

Thanks for the replies. I'll leave it in I think. Cheers, Rob

What are standing waves? I don't like the soound of them very much. I see you're in Lichfield, you are close to one of my fav roads - the A38 up to Burton. Lucky man. Cheers, Rob669

Photo? Rob669

:approve: Bumpty bump bump bump. Anyone? Rob669

Not sure if this is the right section? Mods. Has anybody taken out their sound-proofing, carpet like material from the back of the engine bay? I just wonder if it actually has much of a purpose (like the sound-proofing, carpet like material on the underside of the bonnet which I have already...

X reg, 64k and everything inside is just fine - even the pedals are shiney now after applying some metal polish and a bit of rubbing. I reckon the shocks and springs might be having a mid-life moment though. Cheers, Rob669

I hasten to add it wasn't me. Although I was in Exeter, but not there! Cheers, Rob669

Thanks, I've just found it now on dialogys. Helpfully they quote it on dialogys in deca newtonmeters. Works out to be 77.5 lb/ft. Cheers, Rob669

I thought the torque setting for the wheels was 77 lb/ft. Matey at the tyre place thinks this is too low. Does anyone know if 77 isn't right? Cheers, Rob669

Relatively simple and more like 15 mins. The slam panel or scuttle panel is below the windscreen on the outside. Just open the bonnet, remove the panel and unbolt the filter housing. Pinch the filter on its sides to get it in and make sure you follow the airflow instructions. Easy. Rob669

For overall performance you also need to take into account how much the cars weigh, I'd imagine. So the 172 Ph1 and Cup gain a weight advantage over 182s in that area. Bhp/tonne I guess is what matters. Cheers, Rob669

So how much is RR test? Might be worth doing it I reckon pre/post changes, that's if it's not all that expensive. Rob669

Just paid £104.50 for 2x PE2 Exalto's fitted/balanced etc. Mine are 15s though, sorry, but cheap as chips. Rob669

Not me this time. I don't tend to wear suits, unless it's an interview or I'm getting married. I did neither of these two things today. Cheers, Rob669

I've heard that criticism of RRs before, is it true? If it is then why bother. Best test I reckon is to go on an airfield or track and compete against lap times set by others (next Cliosport SW airfield meet on 25 Feb). :D Cheers, Rob

No water :dapprove: ! Just wipe it with a clean rag I reckon. Cheers, Rob669

Standard ones or Koni adjustables perhaps. Just an idea. Cheers, Rob669

One option might be to clean the brake fluid reservoir top/lid, the one with the connector in it. Clean up the contacts etc and wipe off all the brake fluid. Might have become contaminated. It might cure it. Rob669

So 182 ps and a max torque of 158 lb ft. In other words, it's now a standard Clio 182 in terms of ps after those modifications. Not much gain or did I miss something? Rob669

Lets hope the blue oval RS is a good one this time. Rob669

Thanks. Some T Cut on the Pros sounds the right option. Rob669

Could do, just not sure how tricky it will be to fit. Thanks for the offer of that trip to Swansea. Last Blue Ph1 I was in neally cost me dearly though. Thanks. Rob669

After wiggling the wires a bit it might take a few mins for the lights to go out. Mine always does this, it's a right pain, but the lights do go out eventually. Cheers, Rob669

4-5 hours sat in the pub doesn't sound good. I get bladdered after 5 mins! I'd have to catch a bus or something into town I reckon while it gets done. I wonder how easy these things are to fit, mines a 172 Ph1. Rob669

Yellow, that's no good to me. Maybe the yellows are something other than Sportlines and Pros.

Looks like I'm buying Pros. Cheers. Rob669

Defo Prospeed. Mines hidden like the original, no big exhaust sticking out. And it's a bit louder, but Charlie at Prospeed can make them quiet as you like or loud as you like. Cost will be less I reckon compared to what you've said above. He's in Cardiff BTW. Cheers, Rob669
