I've had the new discs for months now, but haven't got round to fitting them due to being unsure as to the torx size of the screw holding the disc to the hub. I've heard anything from tx20 to tx40 so can anyone say for definite what size they are and is there a Torque setting they need...

just for information, not all the 1.2 8v's use 239mm, mine is on 259mm vented discs (2002).

in reality the sunstrip (assuming it's not mahoosive) should be less of a reason than the front tints (assuming they're illegal), as above you need a new uncle! lol!

is he failing it because the front windows are tinted too or is that not an issue?

Aren't the ph1 172 and ph2 172 bushes totally different? I'm sure someone had a similar prob before...

yep :approve:

should be fine yeah mate

i doubt it in a Clio, lol! I read the other day someone is having one of their shocks reworked because no spares are available! :eek:

I've seen Mk1's on 16's but I'm sure people have gone bigger no problem.

fred for a small fee ;)

yep, as i thought edde just didn't want to misguide him without your input :)

aftermarket 'bulbs' are just brighter or whiter mate, whereas a xenon lamp gives a more natural light, closer to daylight improving clarity and detail.

the basic principles will be the same mate, there may just be slight differences between the 16v and 8v models. Mine is 8v and I think it's basically the same regardless.

I added xenons to mine myself cos i wanted the upgrade without opting for an expensive 182 to go with them ;)

it's easy mate, could take a couple of hours if your inexperienced but it really is fair easy.

mine's only a 1.2 :rasp:

speed wise? 120 but that was on my private race track ;)

sounds normal to me. I get 4000~ @ 80mph.

2 mins mate, i'll dig it out...

bumper £100 ish from ebay, then respraying. wings £65 x 2 from dealer, then spraying. sideskirts...RARE but anyhting from £100 to £200 plus painting. arch liners, £25 x 2 from dealers. undertray and splash guards probably another £100 ish. upper grill anything from £50 to £100 lower grill...

yes you can, all depends on your budget. To do it right you need front bumper, 2 new flared front wings, 2 new sideskirts to match, 2 new larger arch liners plus all the undertray/splash guards and grills for the front bumper not forgetting the fog lights and their surrounds. The easier...

yeah, the tightness seems to be an issue but I think it's overtightening and cracking them that's the problem. As for the washer jet they are ~£7 each from a dealer and would take like 30 mins to change. I can get the part numbers if needed mate?

lol, so you offering this or not then? :S

where's the water leaking from on yours wafty? he means "nip the pipes that feed the headlight washers to stop the flow of water wastage" ;)

Agree with dutty, best, and simplest mod I've done so far! :cool:

you simply use your manual adjustor on the dash as you would with non-hid headlights. I don't understand why everyone is obsessed with the legallities of having xenons added as a modification.

if the air filter has been in 6 years i'd be taking the car elsewhere for a service in future ;)

I did...but wisely replaced it with a K&N 57i so I wasn't sucking in all the dirty air ;)

yeah the tubing runs down the passenger side inner wing to the front of the car. Check that the pipes are still attached correctly where they come out of the bottle. Also there is a T piece connector somewhere behind the pass side headlight but this will probably be a beeatch to get to.

probably a leaky headlight washer, and yes it is common ;) welcome to Clio Sport :)
