Recently my car seems to losing quite a bit of power, this is especially noticeable when accelerating in second and third. Theres no momentary drop in power its just that the whole car seems to be running slower. I was thinking about running some 10k boost through it cos I was speaking to some...

Ive got a second hand Pioneer amp (GM-X722) that Id like to use to run a sub until I can afford to get a bigger amp and do everything properly. Anyway Ive got roughly £130 to spend so I was after some recomendations. I think the RMS for the bridged channel is 320W so its got a bit of power to...

I took the door cards out yesterday to put some soundproofing in. When Id finished I had a look at the door pins to see how easy it would be to change them for metal ones. It seems you would have to cut the old ones off to fit the new ones. Anyone here tried this?? Cheers Rick

Does anyone know if the new DEH6400 is any good. Its the one with the Indy Car and dolphin animations etc. I was thinking about getting it but In the latest Revs, they did a test on the MP3 equivalent and slated it. Failing that can anyone recommend a decent HU for around £200. Cheers Rick

Im after some new bits for my stereo and was wondering if there are any places that sell ICE that we get a discount at

Ive just fitted a two channel amp into my car. However when I switch it on, it hisses really badly and then pops when I actually start the engine. Ive run the RCA cables and the power cable down the same side of the car, could interference from the power cable be affecting the sound signal...

Ive got an annoying rattle coming from the passenger side door when I crank the stereo up a bit and its really starting to piss me off! Anyway Im going to take the door card off and totally sound proof the inside and make sure that none of the trim is loose. Has anyone else done this before on...

Does anyone know if these are any good, I was looking in a mag this morning and it worked out cheaper to get four of these shocks and some separate springs rather than get a full kit. I think Ive read a post on here a while ago about them but I cant remember if it was saying that they would...

I want to know if I should bother amping all my speakers (coaxials in the doors, 6x9s in the rear shelf) in order to really boost the sound level, or whether just doing the 6x9s will improve the sound enough. Also Ive been thinking about getting a sub and amp. If I end up with two amps do you...

No not to clean up any dubious stains!!!!! Its for the hard moulded plastic around the footwell and near the bottom of the door. Theres quite a lot of dirt thats built up on it and hot soapy water doesnt seem to be doing the job. Any suggestions?? Rick

Has anyone had any experience with Apex Suspension kits as they see pretty cheap, around £220. I know you get what you pay for with suspension but Im on a budget. Failing that, any recommendations for a budget suspension kit would be most appreciated. Rick

Does anyone know if the later style side strips (the ones that are rounded) fit on an early (93) Clio? Cheers Rick

Bought a Stealth Shelf from Carnoisseur Southend yesterday for £60 which I thought was a bit of bargain. The bloke said hed get it send direct from the suppliers rather than getting them to send it to southend then up to Lincoln which is where I live. I thought it would be sent by Auto...

Ever since I fitted some new Infinity 552s in the front of my car, the left one has always rattled when the bass got a bit heavy. I tried Dynamatting the inside of the door and this made a bit of a difference but the noise was still there. Well today I got really p*ssed off with it so I decided...

I was speaking to Nick at Hillpower today about a lowered suspension kit for my clio. He asked me something about the distance between the suspension mounting on the hub and the bolt that attaches it!?! He said the distance would be either 52 or 54mm. Does this sound right? Anyway is this...

Ive got roughly £80 to spend on some new 6x9 speakers, anyone got any suggestions. Ive been told that the new pioneer E-Motion speakers are pretty good. Also does anyone know of any companies that sell Pro Plus Amps as Ive always been impressed by their stuff but nobody seems to advertise...

Does anyone know where you can buy Stealth Shelfs from and how much they cost? Cheers Rick

The brakes on my RT were poor to start with but now theyre just f*cked! Has anyone fitted replacement pads and disks and if so what do you recommend. Im getting some new wheels soon, probably 15s or 16s (havent decide yet - money and all that!) so if I need bigger calipers they might just...

I want to fit clear side repeaters and get rid of the black plastic plate that sits behind the standard ones. Does this come off with a bit of heat or is it a real pain in the arse. Also does it leave a lot of residue on the bodywork? Cheers Rick

My gearbox seems to have a bit of a problem. All the gears go in fine apart from first. Most of the time it works alright but it can catch you out sometimes, seems to happen more when the car is cold. Anyone else had similar problems. Rick

Ive just bought a new head unit for my 93 Clio RT. The current head unit is tilted backwards, will the new one be affected by being lilted also. Its a single CD unit so Im a bit concerned about the player. Also, similar question to one of the other posts on this forum: How the hell do you get...

I posted a question yesterday about lowering my RT. Now Ive got the problem of how much to lower it. How much can you realistically lower the torsion beams, as I see these as the potential stumbling block. I read that if you lower them by more than 35mm you have to make an adjustment to the...

Ive just got my first car, a 1.4RT. I know its not that fast but Im only 18 so mustnt grumble, eh! First on my long list of intended mods is to get the beast lowered. Its a K plate but its only done 42000 miles, so I dont know whether to get a set of lowering springs and get the torsion beams...
