Cheers Nick

Hey ICE Pheonix, I would get 15" rims (cheaper, easier to fit, better acceleration, cheaper tyres etc etc) and them slam it to the deck. It would look wicked and would accelerate/handle better than if on 16"s. Just my opinion thought and Im sure many would disagree and say go for 16"s. On...

Ive got a pair of 6" Infinity components in my front doors which I mounted using some door builds I made. They are the 605c which have 240w max and 85w RMS I am running these from an Alpine T407 amp which produces 2 x 120w max and 2 x 50w(ish) RMS. When I matched these up I expected the...

Oh yes, Ive got something a bit different in mind.

just a quickie. Do you reckon a saxo bumper would fit a 1997 (phase 3) clio? Obviously Id need a decent bodyshop to play about with it a bit, but are they roughly a similar size? Just a thought. Cheers

Nice one mate. I will go for it. Mines a later model so hopefully I shouldnt have too much trouble. (Famous last words)

OutKa5t can you elaborate? If they are difficult to fit this might put me off. I dont mind having a go at anything but if I end up screwing my speedo readings etc, I dont hink Ill bother. What are these new kits like that dont require you to cut any holes? By the way my car is a 1997...

I want to brighten up the interior of my clio with some replacement dials. What colour do you reckon I should go for white or blue? I was going to go for white coz I was worried blue might look tacky, but I have seen them look good in certain cars. (My car is Williams Blue by the way)...

Cheers mate thats brilliant.

Yeah I have a dedicated sub out put on my head unit. (3 pre-outs) Am a bit confused thought coz I dont understand ohms??? Can anyone explain thanks

Thats brilliant. From what you say, I reckon I might get away with the following: 2 x 300w max subs (I guess 150w rms each) and a 2 x 65w rms amplifier. This would be a lot cheaper to do and when I consider that I am not after out and out loudness, this should be more than enough to...

Right so say the 2 subs are 150w rms each and the amp is 2 x 100w rms would it be best to run them in stereo? Thanks for the help

Okay next question... Say I had 2 subs and a 2 channel amp to power them. Can somebody explain the differences/advantages/any other info on the following 2 ways of wiring it all up. 1.) Channel 1 of the amp is wired to sub number 1, and channel 2 of the amp is wired to sub number 2...

Hey guys, I havent actually had it done yet, those are just pictures of my car which I modified using Microsoft Paint. I was thinking of wiring in a solenoid ot the rear boot release and hooking it up to my rear wiper stalk. I did this in my corsa and it wasnt too much hassle. Though I admit...

Now all I need to do is find some lights which would go on without too much hassle.

Yeah thats exactly what I meant Girl Racer. I reckon if I did de-badge the front, I would have to do something else as well, either mesh the grill as craggy suggested, or something else. Maybe a headlight transplant?

I listen to loads of different types of music from garage to Jamiroqaui! But my aim is not overall volume, more to fill out the lower notes which I lose at higher speeds due to road noise etc.

Yeah I agree. I think the front looks too much without the badge. Seems to exaggerate the bug eyed look.

I have 2 pairs of 6x9s in my parcel shelf. (they are amped) So you think 12s would be a better option for me then?

Okay I know they are very dodgey pics, coz I just knocked them up on paintshop, but I have been toying with the idea of debadging the front and rear of my clio and wiring in a boot solenoid. What do you lot reckon? Would it look better with no badges/wiper etc or maybe different badges of a...

Cheers mate, I think i will go for tens. They should be more than loud enough for what I need as well.

Dont want to sound stupid but what does a volt meter measure and what does an ammeter measure? (okay I know volts and amps, but I dont know what each actually is) Which would be more useful to me with a big ICE install? Also can someone tell me what extra guages the 16V/Willy has over the...

Hi peeps, just wondered how different these would sound. Obviously it would depend on the speakers/amp in question, but generally what are the sound characteristics of two 10" subs compared to two 12" subs? I am thinking of getting either 2 Pioneer 10" TSW 254cs or 2 Pioneer 12" TSW 304cs...

I think they are held on by plastic clips. If you are gonna take them off be VERY CAREFUL! Cant they just spray them with them still on the car though?

Jst out of interest, how difficult do you think it would be to perform a rear disk conversion? I kow its not really necessary with my car only being a 1.4 but it would look cool. The 1.4S (my model) even came with optional ABS and rear disks from Renault.

Alright Jon, Im back not this weekend but the one after. I just spoke to Lionel at Body Tech and he said hed never fitted a bodykit before but was more than happy to have a go. He seemed like a genuinely decent bloke. I will definately be going up there at some point just to have a chat to...

Ha! Nice one. Yeah I reckon they look a bit daft too. Shame really coz I would love to do something different with my rear clusters and nobody seems to do clear lenses.

What do you reckon, cool or tacky? Either way, definately different! (Oh and expensive too - they cost around £300) http://uk.photos.yahoo.com/bc/b_parfitt2001/lst?.dir=/Clio+rear+LED+light+clusters&.view=t

On the Euro Parts website they list a full Bilstein Kit for the phase 1 & 2 Clios (1990-1996) But not the phase 3 which mine is (1996-1998). Do you reckon the kit for the earlier models would be okay on mine? Coz if it is I will get the full kit as its less than £200!

Hey Brun I havent bought any yet. Just checked out those terra springs and they seem damn good value, have you got them/know anybody that does? Also they do 2 different sets, a 35mm drop and a 50mm drop. I wanted to go lower than 35mm coz I only have 14" alloys. Do you reckon a 50mm drop...
