Hello all, Well I've recently took the rear seats , cards , flooring and headlining out. ( I know it's not needed ). However what do people do regarding the electrics. At the moment the wires for the rear speakers , boot lighting etc etc is just sitting in my passenger footwell. It does indeed...

Re: Road/Track 172 Love this car! Amazing!

Great looking car!

Well I'm at a total lose on the Clio, few problems have crept up but booked into fred@btm to try and get to the bottom of it and get everything back to how it should be. Due to this I've actually fell out of love with the Clio for this weekend so thought it was time I gave the daily car a...

Re: dmallett's titanium ph1 I really so like those seats. Have you got any more pictures of them fitted?

No one?

I know its in the title but what/why are the stress plates fitted? Do they make a difference or are they just a precaution upgrade? Lovely car!

I've plenty of graphs showing over the standard power. R/R is only as good as the operator but that's another story. Back on topic comparing like that doesn't really work out in the real world. A modified car making 180bhp tends to be quicker than a standard 180bhp car. I'm sure there are some...

But I know which one I'd prefer to be sitting in, it wouldn't be the fiat. Nice cars but there hardly quick when you put an upgraded one against an upgraded Evo. Silly comparison.

Need more pictures, looks really nice!

Other than the usual 'knocking' how can you tell the top mounts need replacing? Is there a certain amount of play? How would I test this? Any information would be great.

Group buy lol. Joking aside I run H&R's on the M3 and there highly rated. I believe it's a Bilstein strut and H&R spring which make the H&R coilivers. Depending on price I can't really see a downside!

Lovely car, it was you on M3Cutters that made me want a RS. Really nice example you have!

Lovely looking car, remember seeing it on MLR. I don't think I could go back to another Evo either, when you own a modified one, there great. Even when there breaking however once you get out and experience other cars it's hard to think of a reason to go back to a Mitsubishi. Maybe 'track' only...

Why would you look at that tyre over the ZR9 ( Maxxis version of the R888 ). I emailed Maxxis direct as I wanted a little more info regarding there 'track' tyres. They didn't reply so will go with the norm R888 / Yoko.

Mine was the drivers side, well in fact it was both sides but more evident on drivers side. Will order then direct from Adam @ Wolverhampton Renault ( Site trader ). Sake of 20 minutes it is worth checking at the least.

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Off topic slightly, how much weight did you save swapping from glass to perspex?

Carpets will be getting removed the weekend with headlining to contour the cabin 'strip'. I'm guessing it would have taken ages to dry if I were keeping it.

Erm I'm not sure? Its easily enough to do from above as I'm really not that great with tools and I managed it.

Pretty much everything under the window screen. Wipers which was pretty hard to remove but nothing WD40 and a firm hit with your palm can't solve. Remove scuttle, I managed to break all clips so will be ordering some more. Then just with a large and small screw driver find where the holes are...

Right, unblocked both drainage points and around 1 tonne of water come out. Hopefully that cures it. Even found a small screwdriver down there. Thanks again guys!

Is there a drainage point down there?

After removing drivers side scuttle panel I was met with this. Lots of water down there...

No, I'll have a look under the car in a short while? What am I looking for though?

Yes it's pretty damn wet under the carpet as to be expected.

Checked door seals, they seem O.K? There not perished and still look good. Entire carpet is wet. Mainly behind and under seats.

Sorry it's a 2002 172.

Firstly, stupid damn French crap... Secondly, I've just gave the Clio a quick exterior clean and when I opened the drivers door I was met with a large puddle of water behind the drivers seat... I have noticed the last few nights the front window having a lot of condensation ( mainly because of...

No I think the green will actually look pretty nice, but I guess it could be a 'marmite' sort of thing. Managed to get the camera out the weekend so thought I'd take a quick snap or three of the car how she is at the moment. Well I've wrote the idea off for attending Oulton next week. So...

Just read this from start to finish and 'wow' what a transformation. Great products and lovely car!
