Be very careful heating them up, they are only plastic and will soon distort if to much heat is used.

Try Witters Towbars. They do kits for most types of cars. I'm fairly sure you can buy them mail order.

The majority of the braking is to the front wheels,even under hard braking unless the car is carrying extra weight in the back. You really dont want a large amount of braking to the rear or you'll find yourself spinning off the road into a ditch or worse.

You could try Demon Tweeks if you want EBC's.

Chester exhausts are pretty cheap. the pads are same as citroen saxo.

Are you looking to use upgraded pads? A 1.2i isn't going to be that hard on pads so standard ones are probably adequate. Depends what you are using the car for.

I've got T1-R's on my 172. They wear really well on the back but the fronts have scrubbed the outer edge off on track days. Under normal road use the fronts wear normally without scrubbing the edges off unless you are an absolute loon. They grip well but I've been playing around with tyre...

As long as the place you take it to uses genuine parts and is VAT registered then its ok.

Cheers! Thought that was the direction but wanted to make sure.

I've put DS2500 pads on the front on my Ph1 and it does make a difference on a run with lots of hard braking or track days. They dont fade as long as your brake fluid isnt full of moisture. Also change the fluid if its been in the system for a while, you'll be amazed how much difference it...

Try demon tweeks. They're very competitive for pricing.I buy all my tyres from them.

Toyo proxes T1-R's are a good tyre for the clio. I've got them on mine and they wear quite well on the road but the fronts are a bit worn on outside edge after several track days. plenty of tread left across the main tread though. Clios are very heavy on tyre edges on track though no matter...

Heres my conclusions on airbox v cone filters. When I bought my clio it already had a cone filter fitted but it was sitting low down near all the heat from the radiator so sucking in warm air. I decided to buy a standard airbox and a green cotton filter from demon tweeks to try. It made the car...

Which direction do you turn the pistons on the rear calipers to fit new rear pads? I've got a set of greenstuff pads to put on my 172.

Is the load sensing valve stuck? That could alter the amount of braking to the rear brakes.

If you dont have access to a press then leave it to a mechanic with the right equipment.Its not going to cost a fortune to do.

Try demon tweeks, they sell a wide range of goodies for clios.

I had similar problem with new discs on the rear of my 172 last year. The left rear started grinding a few weeks after being fitted, and it turned out the bearing was faulty, so I took it back to my mechanic and he put fitted a new wheel bearing in the hub and its been fine since. Its fairly...

Demon Tweeks are good for brakes and most other stuff. www.demontweeks.co.uk

Changing the discs every time you change pads is unnecessary. A set of discs should last several years under normal use. I change my discs every 60,000 on my taxi. Depends how thin they get and if they end up with a huge ridge on them.

Spotted very nice silver Clio RS tonight in Chester. Is it anyone on here?

It should have a blade connector on the back of the bulb. Just pull the connection off the bulb and replace it.

Bleeding brakes is best done with help. its a tricky job to do properly on your own. Remember, the brakes are your only means of stopping the car so make sure its done properly.

Lowering is ok if you dont mind hitting the bottom on speed bumps etc. I've had 2 lowered cars and the ride is awful on anything other than smooth tarmac. If you have an exhaust that is low as well you will have problems with it catching if the car is lowered.

Bed them in gradually as per the instructions. Dont get them too hot first time out or they will glaze. I took mine up the M6 on a long run and bedded them in that way.

I put DS2500's on my 172 in february. did a track day the week after at oulton and they were awesome! If the pedal is still spongy I suggest you get the fluid changed. Its likely its been in there a while and absorbed water. Get a good Dot 4 or Dot 5. I've got standard vented front discs and the...

sounds like the drain channels for sunroof are blocked

Its ideal candidate for turning into track car. sod the corsa!

Only use it occasionally so a tank lasts a few weeks unless I go any long distances.

The tyres look stretched on those rims. What width are they?
