As I've changed my engine, and the MOT needs to be done, how can I prove to the MOT tester that the engine is infact older than the car (1993) and has more relaxed emissions limits, no doubt meaning it'll pass without a catalytic converter on it I know that the emissions limits are set by the...

Just thought i'd start a thread and see what people are using in their living room bedroom etc, seeing as there is lots of talk about TV's at the moment :) I'll start with mine, its a quite a budget setup, but I really like it, it consists of: Acer PH110 Projector - Projected Image is 59inch...

Hi, just got my projector, its great, but playing games makes them blury (can understand that when its stuck in a low resolution) The projector supports HDTV upto 1080p. I've noticed on games like Gran turismo 4 on the ps2 that you can change it to be either progressive scan, or HDTV, using...

Friend of mine has just bought a rear ended r5 gtt for very cheap, just wondering if the R5 subframe will fit straight onto the clio for easy fitting, or is it different. Or even better, is it the same subframe as the clio uses? (as my subframe is slightly damaged, in which case when he...

Am just wondering whats the better option, Svideo or using the RCA phono connection (Not sure what its called, not heavily into the AV Scene) as I'm looking to connect my set top box to my projector, which doesnt have scart, but has these connections : 1 D-Sub (VGA/Component/HDTV) input, 1...

I'm looking at changing to a projector setup, as I have a nice area of wall, where my tv currently is, and on the other side I have a couple of shelves that are perfect for putting a projector. I'll prob buy a 2nd hand one, maybe even a faulty one as i've repaired quite a few whilst at work...

Just wondering if any other cliosporters run this program in the background on their PC's. Bit like SETI@Home, where it uses distributed processor power to find results etc. Think its more benificial than finding extra terrestrial life, as its all about protein folding, such projects they've...

Just powered up again after having a powercut and my Belkin 650VA UPS held out quite well, kept the PC powered for about 10 minutes (obviously used to last longer when new). Anyways i've had it about 3 years now, and haven't replaced the battery yet, won't really bother either, but I'm...

Bought a W900 yesterday on vodafone, and I'm still getting Inactive Sim showing up on the screen, tried restarting the phone etc, but its still not activated. Surely it would've been activated by now? perhaps some phone gurus would know. Prob won't get activated until after crimbo now...

Been offered the old 'broken' server from work, which had a couple of faulty components, which I replaced, and it works fine, and has done for many weeks. They have decommissioned it, as they don't want it to do it again, and risk blowing more things, which is unlikely anyway, but I wasn't...

Anyone know if the w900 will be coming out on o2, Its already on vodafone's site, but they've no doubt stopped you doing things like they did on the S700, like using mp3s as ringtones, unless you downloaded them from vodafone, or used the program to get passed it. CPW, The Link, and phones4u...

Right, basically a chap at work has offered me a nice sized intercooler to replace my current one that isnt so big, but the only problem is, its got 90 degree bends on both pipes, so they face into the engine bay, instead of away from the car. I would get someone to just weld new pipe to...

Right, after just going out for a little run in my car earlier I've managed to lose all boost pressure, looked under the bonnet to find i've put a nice hole in one of the boost hoses, that goes from the intercooler to the inlet manifold/throttle. Anyways its my fault for running all silicone...

Could someone please email me their mspaint.exe file from their XP machine (pref Windows XP SP2) as my stupid brother decided he would do as some stupid chain email said, which said it was a virus. Anyways, if someone could zip/rar it up, and send it to my email address, then that would be a...

Guess it can go in this section... Anyways just wondering if anyone has listened to a pair of SkullCandy SkullCrusher headphones, am looking for a new pair, and they sound like a good set, within my budget. Dont want anything that does noise cancellation or anything. I do listen to bassy...

Just wondering if anyone has ever changed one, as Mine is damaged quite badly. It got bent when i forgot to take the bolt out when changing the engine, and It has been ok with me bending it back, but its something that needs changing so I best do it, as I dont fancy laying underneath the car...

Just wondering whether this is possible, I'm sure it is. Reason being, is that a friend of mine has a clio which had a snapped spring, changed it for one of my old standard RT ones, but I dont think it matches his Ph3 springs, and we cant bolt the suspension strut on now. If its possible...

Just wondering if anyone could photoshop my wheels a different colour, like gloss black, matt black etc etc, as i should have a spare bit of cash to get them refurbed, and im thinking of a different colour. maybe even white, if it suits the car :) Heres a couple of pics, hopefully theyre...

Had a few requests about info and pics of my car... so thought id share it with everyone... My car started off as a standard 1.4 RT 5 door, got given it from a friend who had just had the top end rebuilt due to the cambelt snapping at around 6000rpm. He said it wasnt reliable enough to get...

Saw a Dark Red coloured 172/182 (didnt look around the back) actually on show with cliosport sticker. Was there as my mates corsa was on show. On the way back saw a mk1 Dimma clio in pearlescent white, with a hint of purple, with angel eyes, gave the chap the thumbs up but he prob thought...

Got sent home from work today, as there was nothing for me to do, so decided to paint the gearbox im going to be using for my engine conversion... What do people think? (Sorry for the poor quality photos, was dark by the time id finished and the paint had dried) (Also i didnt get rid of the...

Just thought id post a couple of pics of my car with a new bumpstrip sprayed up and fitted... the old one got nicked off my car, and the car looked awful without it... decided to do a bit of DIY colour coding, was quite hard to get the colour matched, went to 3 places that said they could...
