The EM lot met up today for a quick chat and photoshoot. Can't remember the name of the place where we ended up, but yeah, was near Matlock. I've played about with these ones, so might aswell whack them up. Still got plenty to sift through and edit, but I cba to carry on right now. 4/11/12 -...

So, after deciding that I 'need' an iPad Mini in my life, i'm in a conundrum with my current MacBook Pro. It's 2 years old now, so i'm getting ready for a refresh imo. My plan was to always, when I could afford to, get an iMac (for proper work etc) and an iPad (for general browsing etc). I'm...

CS vs Food IV - Pit and Pendulum Right, finally got round to making this thread. The forth CS vs Food meet is upon us... Location: Pit and Pendulum (some gothy pub in the centre of Nottingham) Date: I think the 7th November was agreed in the last thread (i'm going to have to check i'm not...

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of detailing my brother's 106 GTi. He hasn't owned it long and it certainly needed a good going over. Process was as follows: - Got rid of all the gay stickers - Clean the wheels (Bilberry wheel cleaner) - Snow Foam (hit a stumbling block at this point...) - Wash -...

So, a few of us East Midlanders met up this evening for a quick meet and photoshoot. Here are my photos from the evening. Quickly edited them and kinda realised that I had it on the wrong setting now too. Ahh well, they'll do. Dakota Hotel by Harpham y0, on Flickr Dakota Hotel - Sunflower...

What's the best panel filter to go for on a Ph1 172? Want to get one sorted soon, as ill be servicing the car in the next month. On my Ph2 Flamer, having the Ktec panel filter made a massive difference (both mpg and slight performance increase - in my head anyway), so I want to go down the same...

Gave the Sunflower what will probably be it's last clean of the year. Ended up, in short, having: - 1 layer of AF Tripple - 2 layers of Zaino Z2 - 2 layers of Dodo Juice Banana Armour Photos aren't anything fancy, but yeah... :) Pre-Winter Detail - 7/10/12 by Harpham y0, on Flickr...

Thought id make a thread in here so that we can get in on some off topic chat, suggest meet locations and ridicule Sym0n. May not be any good, but we'll see how it goes... So, any suggestions for the next food challenge/giant man date? Sym0n needs a haircut, the hippy.

Was really bored today, so decided to give the car a quick clean and then went out for a few photos this evening. Probably pretty s**te photos, but meh. I do really like this one: Sunflower - Giltbrook Retail Park - 27/8/12 by Harpham y0, on Flickr Sunflower - Giltbrook Retail Park - 27/8/12...

Spotted you pull in and park near to my Sunflower this evening, as I was walking down into Sainsburys. I gave you the standard male "nod of approval", as I didn't want to look total mongo. Took a cheeky photo before I drove off. The T looked good.

Just a quick thread of my day at CSS. Didn't take too many photos, as I preferred to mingle tbh. Before the photos, just wanted to say a big thank you to all the CS staff that put in a great amount of effort to put on this event for the club. It is by far the best show and it shows. Even with...

CS vs Food - Part DEUX - The Southbank Bar's Pancake Challenge Due to the success of our last morbidly obese meet, we now have the next challenge for us local fatties... Details: Again, we ask the question... Who is "man enough" to complete the challenge?? For the next 1 day & 9 hours...

Weo. 9:15pm tonight. Sat in the pizza place in Alfreton. Being fat. Spotted the UR 197 on my travel up to work earlier. About 4:30pm outside the Coop in Swanwick area. Was it Chrisgti? (think thats the name - also had the FCS decal in the window, so could well be).

After discussions with Jenic, I thought id set up the East Midlands convoy for ClioSport Saturday. Plan of action for people wanting to convoy down from the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire area, I suggest meeting outside Next/Decathlon/Nandos, at the Giltbrook Retail park (just off J26 of the M1)...

So, the East Midlands lot went down to the Sherwin Arms, in Bramcote, to attempt the Flaming Burger Challenge. I think it's safe to say that the 9 (out of 10 attendees - Sym0n was being homo and didn't dare try it) that attempted this will all be feeling extremely ill right now. I know that I...

Ok, so this has probably been asked before, but here goes... One of my headlight bulbs blew a few weeks back. Bought a replacement from Motorpoint, but they supplied me with the wrong part ffs. They don't accept returns either, arghh. So now i'm in a place where i'm considering other options...

The East Midlands "ClioSport vs Food" Challenge The Flaming Burger Challenge So here it is sports fans, here it is. The thread that we've all been waiting for. For those not in the know, the challenge is as follows...

As above, just generally wondering, are they as bad as people make out? With Eibachs seemingly rising in price, to the point where coilovers may be a viable option for a few quid extra, would Apex cut it? Are they really crashy, s**te etc? Cheap for a reason? I'm obviously wanting Sportlines...

Thought id whack a thread up about my day at FCS. Started off bright and early at 5:30am. Was outside at 6am, drying the Sunflower and having a go with some QD. Did the roof. Gave up. Meh. Went off to J27 of the M1, to meet some other CS homies. Turned out to be a very good turnout. Probably...

So with FCS just over a week away, should we get a convoy sorted out or are people not bothering with it being just down the M1 for us?! I'm from Eastwood way, so anyone coming from that way, or coming from J27+ (so maybe tie it in with the Yorkshire lot), you're more than welcome to convoy...

Sunflower Detail So today I detailed the Sunflower, to kick start my preparations ready for FCS (and more importantly, CSS). I was focused mostly on the paintwork today, as the previous owner evidently used a yard brush to wash it. Swirl city. Process was as follows: - Remove bump strips and...

Spotted just now driving through Buxton. Wasn't very loud ;). Dunno whether they're on here or not.

So after yesterday's great success, fixing the drivers seat so that it moves forwards/backwards again, I found a new love for the 'flower. 2 months had passed since it's last wash, so it was looking pretty grim. Usual Paulish process, 2x buckets etc. Only got some mandatory iPhone driveway...

Went past each other earlier, just off the Ikea island. Driver looked like he was blowing a kiss at me?!! :o Does the Sunflower give out that impression? I assume that it must be a CSer. I doubt that the local chavs that own Clio's in that area would be blowing kisses at me. :p

Ok there have been a couple threads about this, but I couldn't find a definitive answer... My car failed it's MOT on Friday due to a knackered ball joint. It was also an advisory that both front tyres were wearing towards the limit (both on the inside of the tyres). Will just one failed ball...

Hi guys, So just wondering whether anyone can recommend any places to take my wheels (and possibly the wheels off my bro's 106 GTi) for a refurb in the Nottingham/Derby area? As close to NG16 as possible. I'm looking for someone relatively cheap, but good at what they do (maybe not a good mix...

I'm basically thinking of setting up my own website. With this comes no idea on what I have to do to set it up. After speaking with Sym0n, i've located the domain that I want and he said he'll host for me, so now I basically need someone who may be able to design a simple site for me. I want...

Came across this on eBay. Many LOL's were had. 200mph, yeah?! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clio-182-K-TEC-KTR-Ultra-performance-CAT-Sports-Exhaust-System-Trophy-breaking-/251034380666?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a72d0a97a#ht_16879wt_1189 Just going to drop a few quotes into the...

So, with the ever-growing list of people wanting their car done by Harpham BWAB (Come at me JD), I thought id kick the year off with a faded pink Corsa C. (The girlfriends mum's car) Process was as you'd expect. I did try out a lot of the products out that I ordered last week. I took a massive...

Two really crap rushed photos of the Sunflower tonight, but you get the idea... Hey Boizzz by Harpham y0, on Flickr Sunflower by Harpham y0, on Flickr Recent additions include: - New plates - Cup Spoiler - Yorkshire CS sticker I wanted to get some daylight shots of the car, as I cleaned it...
