I have just had to spend the afternoon taking my alloys off the motor for a clean. I was just wondering if anyone can recomend some alloy cleaner or is there any product that stops brakedust attacking your wheels?

I put on my piper induction kit last saturday and i have noticed the difference in performance (for the worst) it seems to be worse when it comes to throttle response. Sounds the absolute tits though.
Kev
Im broke so no more mods at the moment, especially as I have tax and mot in the next 3 weeks.
It would be hard to get the dash done as i would have to find the company who done mine and see whether they still have that same colour leather. If it aint exactly the same it would look crap.
Kev
Yeah,
I had managed to get them in for southend last night. I dont know whether you where one of the people who came and had a look.
I am well happy with them. They have drasticaly improved my car!!!!
Kev
Do u reckon I should do this deal.
I have got the chance to get some leather seats for the valver. A chap I know is selling his car and is selling the seats separatly. They cost £1100 (he has the receipt) and were put in 5 months ago. They are mint.
He wants £350 for them as well as me...
I have just brought a pipercross filter for the 16v. I got a deal from extreme where you get a free air intake. Is this any good? Should i bother fitting this? Where do i fit the other end of the intake pipe?
cheers
Kev
Dont wanna worry u ben But mine has done 86k.
And Matt i might be at the rr2 day but I have just spoken to Nick hill and he seems to think that it is the box. So i might not. Still 50/50
Kev
A mate who is a machanic looked at my car yesterday seems to think it i could be lucky and it might just be the drive shaft pin.
He is looking at it tomorrow night to see.
Fingers crossed.
Kev
Yeah the only thing is that it is a 10 hr job fitting so there is the risk that you get it in then it goes a few months later and you would have no garantee. If you replace it with a new one whilst its apart it may cost more but you get a garantee and you know it is going to last.

Last night!!!
Got quotes of around a grand.
Does anyone have or know someone who has got a second hand box for sale. Or Know where I can get one for a good price, the best price i have got for just the box is £500 for a new one.
Its strange as my gearbox had felt fine and was running...
I managed to do the front one about a month ago and that went fine but this time i f***ed up the back.
I am going to have to fork out another staggerin £17 again.
Oh well
I have just brought a seat splitter for the rear of the valver. With it being a bank holiday i thought that i would get it on tomorrow.
I was just wondering wether anyone on here has done this and is there any tips they can give me.
Kev
ecoteks, what r they? Sorry but i feel i have missed something along the way as i dont have a clue what they r!!
Could someone give me some info please as after reading the previous messages i would be interested in one!
How much are they?
What do they do?
Where do you get them from...
Yeah thats front and rear seats!!
My mate got the cut offs of leather thrown in as well. This may sound like nothing but he managed cover his Parcel shelf, false floor and sub with it, it looks wicked.
He only paid £850 for his as his car was already promised a mag feature so they had a...
Where can i get some clear side Repeaters for my valver?
I dont want universal ovals or anything else i just want some the same shape as the origional orange ones that come on the phase 1s. I will be keeping the black 16v logo badge that the indicator attachs to so i need a staight...
John,
I thought you said that u wasnt goin to drop it!!
Anyway I dont think you will have much more problems with rubin with a drop like that. Mine is dropped 35mm at front on springs and rubs on full lock, it aint bad though, The back of mine is lowered sh*t loads (around 55mm)and that...
I fogot to mention for that amount he will come down to your house, strip the interior that he is retriming and puts it back in agin normally within 5 days.
Kev
They are not the same at all. The 16v seats are good but the willys are better. I do prefer the pattern on mine than the willys pettern though. I know they are different as a mate with a valver brought some willys ones to replace the 16vs ones and they and he says they are worth upgrading to if...
Mate i have got mine lowered 35mm at front and the back is dropped till the sills are parrellel with the ground. Because of this it looks the tits but it is best to keep the angles as close to renaults originals.
I am running on 17s and it is dropped on just springs and it doesnt rub at all...
Does anyone know any chain companies that can do my trackin on my valver?
I have tacken it to ATS & Tread First but they said they couldnt do it as my car was way to low and they recommended a place called Cambridge Performance tyres. I went there and they said exactly the same thing. They...
I have some questions on Boost Valves, as i am thinking in investing in one.
1) Is it true that they increse petrol consumption? If so by how much?
2) What sort of gains will i get?
3) Does it need to be declared to the insurance company or can you whip it off quikly if needed?
4)...
Laguna fits but cost 60 somthin quid but the seat one cost £19. They are same quality but the seat is bigger so makes the car look lower.
I have the seat one but aint fitted it yet as it needs trimming. Will be fitting it this week ready for southend.
