Well it wasnt my fault that dear ran into the road, then stopped in front me. You would think that it would have learnt that a 60mph limit road (in a straigh line) is a bad place to cross.

I saw that car in fast car and it does look cool. But is it worth the risk. When i am at work (trolly lad at sainsburys part time, Student job) All the time I see poeple knocking into peoples doors with there car doors. It pisses me off when they just try and get away without anyone noticing...
16 valves.
All none (mostly) 16v cars have the aeirial at the front. 16v have it at the back...i think its because it makes it look quicker. Its always a rough guide to tell if someone has a 16v or not. It works on all makes.
paul
God damn i with i hadnt hit that dear!
You know whats more gutting, is the fact that it demolish the front right of my car BUT DIDNT DIE!!!!!! and ran off. Fooking bastid!
paul
How the fudge does that work? I pay £1000 on a 1.4 rt? What the hell am i doing wrong? I have had 1 accident, but they told me that didnt really count (a dear(?) jumped infront of me). Oh and i am with tesco. Oh and no no claims. But this year i should get 1 year...yipee.

Whats the best alarm for a clio 91 rt? I would like to keep my alarm and imobaliser that comes with it, but also add a better alarm.
If the best alarm is a bit OTT on the price range, what a good alarm to get that doesnt cost the earth?
paul
Hi there, does anyone own a clio 16v or similar and in the age range around 20? I am just wondering. If you are, and if you dont mind me asking, whats your insurance like? what are the conditions on the contract?
I am just interested. I need more power and although i want to keep my litle...
So, apart from and engine coversion, whats the best thing i can do to give me a big leap in performance. I am after getting a quick motor with all the bits i got now. Its my first real car and i want to keep it. So i want to mod mine to its max (or at least close) then get a new one.
paul
I was thinking of just having the scoop there, then underneath it have the flap. Thus you can close it when its raining really badly. So there is no need to have a clever snug fitting fitment.
paul
Hey thats a cool idea...get it cool...oh i give up.
Same as above, but this time have a vent cut into the bonnet, and have a small scoop on it. When i say small, i do mean small, not scooby size. Anyway have your sliding vent idea on it. I always like lots of buttons in my car. I also like...
Ok, i only have a standard clio, but the fronts are virtually the same. Why dont you run a lite metal pipe from the front vent.
Go striaght for a bit, say about 10-20 cms, then go up at 45 degrees and then weave it through your engine until you get to your induction kit. You may want to...
Does cat back mean the exhaust from behind the cat to the tip of the back box, or does it mean all that including a cat replacement? I would think the first one, but I am not sure.
paul
Ah thanks. So with a decat, full exhaust system (performance), induction and chip what would i be looking at. Oh probably got for an ecotech aswell.
paul
Surely if you lined the underneath of your car it would be better. Not easier, but better? Am i wrong on this, probably am.
paul
ps then again a nice rattle would give a rally feel.
Oh dont worry about offending anyone. In the end its a personall thing. Modding a car, however big or small can be likend to a work of art. Its a personall work of art at at that. Whatever you want, whatever you like forget what everyone else thinks, its yours not theres.
paul
I am...
Hey steve a. What have you had done to your car? Is it a 1.4 16v or just an 8v. I have a 1.4 8v and want to make it go quicker. So what did this engine rebuild and slight mod do?
paul
I dont have an exhaust fitted yet, well i do but not a performance one. It was knocking quite badly, so i put it up on the ramps had a look underneath and it was one of those rubbery things that hold the back box in place. I gave it a prod and it all came apart in my face. So after a full...
When you say they are not new, do you mean they are second hand, or do you mean the design? Out of them both i wouldnt choose either. I would go for something with more spokes, it looks better on the clio.
paul
It sounds like a power boost valve. ie an FSE power boost valve. Some people say thay do something, so say it does jack. I think i will get one, just for the sake of it.
Ekotech say that there product compliments the FSE power boost very well. So if you got one, get the other.
paul
This is an extract from Fast Car magazine (best one out there)
The whole F.U.K (Fast Car UK) market is getting a bit dimensionally demented at the moment. 17s were once considered the ticket to Daddiesville, but theyre par for the course now, especially with people now hitting the 20-inch...
